User blog:Ash-274/Recommended jobs for Bangkok money

I finished all of the Bangkok jobs to Diamond level, then sold off nearly all the items to pay for the property upgrades (BIG mistake, don't do it). Now I need baht (Bangkok money) again in order to purchase powerful items from the Faction Stores so here is what I recommend in case you find yourself in the same situation:

Avoid jobs that require a giant pile of money in order to equip yourself. The final mission of Assassin costs over 60,000,000 to fully-equip! Assuming you are starting with nearly $0, begin with Move Stolen Art Through the Suvarnabhumi Airport job of the Brawler episode. It doesn't have any equipment requirements and you earn $969 and 114xp for each 64 Energy used.

Once you've earned $300,000 buy 15 Bullhooks and do the Buy Some Chemicals on the Black Market job in the Commandant episode. Now you're earning $4270 and 225xp for each 122 Energy. This job has the lowest required cost compared with the earnings/energy ratio.

After you've made $600,000 purchase 15 Bo Staffs from the inventory and do the Ship Burmese Sapphires into Thailand job of the Oyabun episode for $6244 and 249xp for each 129 Energy. Again, this is the lowest startup cost for the best $/Energy ratio.

Now you've been raking in money there are two more missions I recommend: Question the Surviving Assassin and Gather information on the Shadow King jobs of the Assassin episode. The former costs less to equip yourself for and has a bonus of randomly dropping Titanium Katars, a weapon with an excellent 50-Defense statistic! It will cost $9,000,000 purchase the needed Jungle Fatigues and Khway SUV's but you will earn $7,703 and 282xp for each 151 energy used and you can use these items for the other job... The latter job will require an additional $9,600,000 to equip (and won't drop bonus loot) but you'll earn $9,030 and the same 282xp for each 144 Energy used, which is nearly the best ratio of $/energy found in any Bangkok job (that doesn't also use consumables).

So why do this? Unless you've been spending reward points like crazy to buy high-value offensive and defensive items your whole mafia will need to be better-armed for fights. The Bangkok Faction store has several weapons, armor, vehicles, and even animals that have high-40's to low 50's for attack/defense but they can cost as much as $550,000 each! As long as you are waiting for the next episode in Vegas to open up, you can prepare yourself and your mafia for the heavy fights to come.
