Don't was skill points on health. Use it for the others, energy then stamina first. The defense and attack points have a ridiculously small delta and it's not worth wasting them. Instead repeat missions for looted weapons of choice and get level two mastery for great items.

And regarding revenge with the hit list:
If you have fragile attack weapons or don't get a lot of money from attacking an annoying farmer put them on the hit list. You can kill them ten times for 15k or the price of two master stars. I also like to use disposable weapons because they are cheaper and I can stock up before I hit someone. When they break they cost me no upkeep. If you only have defensive items in the dojo while your away your bank will thank you.

Although the tip that says 'buy the lowest priced' is right when saving to buy, if you already have a store of cash, you are better off buying the higher priced, as you will straightaway earn the higher rate AND generate the lower purchase price more quickly.

When using the calculator for every star you add on an income increase the amount by one. For example if you have a local yakuza with two stars you actually own three yakuza. The same goes for the income.

When withdrawing a large amount to buy multiple items, try to reduce your health below the attack threshold first, so as to reduce the risk of losing some of the money. Also, even if you can reduce your health, always buy the most expensive items first to reduce your cash in hand as quickly as possible. Then if you are attacked, or hit-listed/sanctioned/etc, you stand to lose less.

Always do something with the money on your person, either upgrade your dojo with it or if you're saving up for an income increase then put it in the bank.
Not only with this prevent you from loosing money to attackers, but also being attacked multiple times, because 117 bucks isn't worth attacking someone for.
If you really want to go to the extreme, you could try to balance your income and upkeep so that you basically control when you have money on your person, a great "defense" when the points alone aren't cutting it. In this strategy however, you have to rely on attacking people as a source of income, but remember, endurance is the fastest recovering expendable attribute! Hope this helped.

Did you know that in the attack list, when someone has a yellow dot behind their name, that that person is one of your friends?! So don't attack him/her!

If you find yourself being "farmed" or repeatedly attacked by the same person over a long period of time, here are some tips to remember:

- The best and most obvious thing to do is to get onto your account as often as possible and lower your health so that the farmers cannot attack you. Sometimes it works well if you can get friends to also attack you so that your money is going to them and not your farmer.

- To keep your money safe, you should either bank it right away or quickly invest into properties. Banking is good because it is quick and easy, but you lose 10% of every transaction. In the long run, that can almost be as much as the farmer is taking from you, so this is not always the best method to preserving your money. The other option is to invest into the properties, so you are not losing money, and in the long run you will be making more.

- The MOST INPORTANT tip when being farmed: DO NOT COMMENT THEM! If you check their comment page, farmers have players crying to them all the time about how mean and unfair they are. You are not going to stop them with one whiney comment. Also, as soon as you leave them that comment, they now have a permanent link to you and will continue their farming. One thing you need to remember is that if you do NOT comment them, the only way they can find you to attack you is on the battle list, and as soon as they level up your name will not appear on that list anymore. Therefor, you need to just tough it out and use the preventative measures above until they level up, which is usually pretty quick. Also, DO NOT send a friend request to a known farmer either. This also creates a permanent link for them to find you.

You need to remember that it is true that farmers can play however they want and there are no rules for how much and how often they can attack you. Thats why you just need to adopt this defensive method and tough it out. Most farmers thrive on players reactions, so to provide none and prevent them from taking much from you is the best way to discourage them. Getting your "teams" or "armies" to fight them usually just entertains them, much easier and safer to wait it out. I have used this method on all of the Storm8 games and farming usually only lasts about a day and then they have moved on. It works :)
