Hey so I have been all but ripping my hair out over trying to figure out the most optimal investment strategy I can (prioritizing RP gain for the most part) for my future playthrough, and it occurred to me that different options might be available if I don’t use the acquire money as per usual, though I was unsure if they would be worthwhile.

For context, I refuse to whore out poor Qum (even before the retroactive changes began to really punish you for it) thus I don’t have that extra 15,000 to play around with unfortunately. But that is a small price to pay to get her maxed at 100 by Yarra's route easily, and more importantly keep her happy and loved. <3

Anyways, I typically invest in Premium Steel, Megail’s gift, Mine Processing, Bridge repair, and then Acquire Money for the 25,000 Pron needed to invest in the Bank with Trin’s help. Although you can have more Pron to play around with in the later chapters, I am a bit uncertain how well that really can stack up to the more initial value of the early Bank investment ROI (and its help during Megail’s route) and bonus to Economy and RP scores for Megail and Trin?

I guess my question really boils down to how much of an economic advantage (if any since I think I read before that the Yhilin Bank is one of the better investment choices in general? Unless they meant a different bank-and I assume they mean the Core Leander tier anyway right?) would I receive for saving the pron for later investments compared to just doing the bank earlier on, and if choosing to save the Pron for later would mean that I miss out on RP checks further on for those two? And I assume my secret stats be higher or lower depending on which I choose-if I could afford to buy more Eustrin options to the point where it makes a difference that is...

For those that don’t ask for money, is there that much of a comparable difference in wealth to invest in down the road? Should I skip the bank path outright in favor of other investments that may or may not be more profitable since it would be an investment round behind at that point?

As a finial question of curiosity, what are all your favourite/most critical investments to obtain, and in what phase do you typically try to get them?
