I'd say gain a few more levels,
Cash becomes easier and easier to make as you gain higher levels, and have a higher success rate with the tougher crimes.
From a game balancing viewpoint, it's almost too easy to make cash,
maybe thats why the xp loss is severe, to make it a tradeoff to go criming for cash, risking a potential xp loss.
But really though,
even several epic fails of some high level crimes per day, maybe 600-700 xps lost (for many failures, probably crimes you're not ready to try),
thats still only between 2-6 successful "leave attacks" (depending on level), and it's right back |
