How much CB$ do you use daily? (in General)


CoolWater September 8 2005 8:31 AM EDT

On average, I spent around CB$ 200k daily to run my character. How much is yours?

Stephen September 8 2005 8:36 AM EDT

Speaking on behalf of mage teams everywhere, zero.

Caedmon [Revenge of the Forgers] September 8 2005 8:37 AM EDT

It costs $8 to heal after each win. No ammo (melee-only tank). So probably about $4000.

CoolWater September 8 2005 8:39 AM EDT

Don't you guys buy any BA?

Adrian Exodus September 8 2005 8:55 AM EDT

181080 to buy 503 ba a day,
add to that 4$ for every partial heal and 22$ for full heals.

CoolWater September 8 2005 9:03 AM EDT

Adrian, your expenses should be close to mine. Do you purchase and upgrade arrows?

AdminShade September 8 2005 9:59 AM EDT

$8 for partial heal, $44 for full heal

and then 22k for a stack of 10k bolts, but i can last up to 4 days with that so around 4k a day for ammo cost.

and then occasionally buying BA also.

ranging from 5k a day to what ever it costs to buy my ba :P

Adrian Exodus September 8 2005 10:43 AM EDT

I'm single coc mage so the arrows i buy are mainly novelty, but no more then 5k a week so far.

[T]Vestax September 8 2005 11:01 AM EDT

Arrows are just a couple of thousand cbd a day. $354,615 to buy all my BA... and I do.

AngryZac September 8 2005 11:08 AM EDT

One way or the other I use everything I make per day I sell a lot (so far only to get extra tanks of gas), but some also goes into buying BA. Eventually I'll put some money into armor or maybe insta my tat, or swap or something.

[T]Vestax September 8 2005 11:50 AM EDT

I sell my minions' organs on the blackmarket for more money.

maulaxe September 8 2005 1:13 PM EDT

...so thats where I've been getting all my minions snacky-treats all this time! I reward them when they do good.

Special J September 8 2005 1:35 PM EDT

enough to buy all of my BA and that is about it, except when I upgrade my corn -shudders-

CoolWater September 8 2005 6:35 PM EDT

So, not everyone purchased all the available BA. Without purchasing BA, is it possible to reach the top?

Adrian Exodus September 8 2005 6:41 PM EDT

i don't think and i do not wish it to be possible to reach the top, if you weren't here from the get go buying ba from the start like i assume most the top players did you really shouldn't be able to get there, sure you should be able to reach a nice middle place and even upto somewhere on the first page of the high pr but getting the top should not be possible..my opinion :P

Mikel [Bring it] September 8 2005 6:55 PM EDT

Wait until the BA refreshes, so I'll know exactly how much I pay.

But I make a profit on a daily basis, just cause I use up alot of my Regen BA as well.

Like 2 weeks ago, for a solid week I operated on 300k cb2 and didn't have any problems.

Adrian Exodus September 8 2005 7:17 PM EDT

also so added figures if you want them,
i can make between 250-350 per fight when i fight an upper list and like 150-250 per fight on a list of ppl lower that i just want to hit..average

so 7 ba every 10 minutes and if i was to fight 24 hours that be like 1k ba add that to the 500 bought

add and subtract everything and at best i can make about 350k a day but most likely make around 250k fighting 18 hours or so.

Grim Reaper September 8 2005 9:20 PM EDT

10-50k spent daily since I make most of my bought ba back after using it. I sometimes make more than ba cost but overall on avg it ends up costing me 10-50k as a loss. As far as just buying it all, I spend 400k daily then.

Synco September 8 2005 10:38 PM EDT

I spend 20-40k on forge fees. Just depends on how much I forge.

CoolWater September 8 2005 11:58 PM EDT

I couldn't cover the cost of purchased BA even if I used most of my regen BA in a daily basis.

[T]Vestax September 9 2005 12:23 AM EDT

I was about to say that was weird since your strat is more efficient then mine. Then I noticed that you used seekers. That will kill you budget quite quickly.

CoolWater September 9 2005 4:21 AM EDT

Vestax, my seekers are just for defending. When I fight, I use normal arrows.

CoolWater September 9 2005 7:50 AM EDT

I have just calculated that my total BA purchased is around $171k/day. And every 10 minutes I received 7 BA. Say on average in my fights I received $200/fight, I would need to use 21 hrs of BA regen/day in order to break even. That is a lot of CB hours.

Quark September 9 2005 2:50 PM EDT

I spend about $150k to buy all my BA, and a nominal amount on bolts. Given my rewards, if I play work hours only, I at least break even (around 3 full BA cycles). So it's possible with an efficient strat that has a high score:PR ratio (efficiency = low ammo cost).

TheEverblacksky September 10 2005 12:31 PM EDT

coolwater.... upgrading your arrows doesn't do much....you should really check, try x1 +0 and see if they are any different than what you use

CoolWater September 10 2005 12:41 PM EDT

yes there's a small difference. I've tried it. I drew some fights that I shouldn't.

Rubberduck[T] [Hell Blenders] September 10 2005 1:27 PM EDT

Too much :) 503 BA at 381 $ each = 191643 cb$
I would like to see the amount of BA we can buy go back to what it was before Jon doubled it.

[T]Vestax September 12 2005 8:27 AM EDT

Correction: You may purchase up to 503 BA for $373 apiece. Totalling:$187,619

DrAcO5676 [The Knighthood III] September 12 2005 8:39 AM EDT

Mage team buying max BA and using a decent amount of ba refresh I spend about 300k making most of it back in refresh and in fighting higher lvl guys. Usually around 25 - 50k on the negative side I think.

CoolWater September 12 2005 9:44 AM EDT

Actually, my calculation was way off. I didn't take into account my rewards from the fights with purchased BA. It's supposed to be rewards from 10 hrs of BA regens + rewards from purchased BA would be my break even point. So it wasn't so bad after all.
