I looked in wiki but I couldn't find it (probally because I drank to much), but I was wondering how the cost of buying more BA is determined. For me I can buy 720 BA at a nice (HIGH) price of 349 apiece and my highest character is only PR / MPR of 15,054 since I retired Carp Tank 2 days ago.
You have an NCB character. That about doubles the cost of buying BA.
NCB chars have increased BA costs.

NCB may double the price but isn't 175 a little to high for only a 15k pr character?

I can't see the % bonus that your NCB character has, but the BA buying cost has been increased with that % also.
so it's more than double if you have a, say, 170% bonus.
so if you would have a 170% bonus then your BA would cost $129 per BA if it wouldn't be a NCB character.

"You may purchase up to 503 BA for 831 apiece."
That is my BA cost because I have a NCB character.

why does NCB increase BA cost? NCB doesn't add to your money rewards. That is just plain evil.

NCB adds XP to your rewards. Buying BA is another way to add XP. Cash is irrelevant.

How is the NCB % bonus calculated?

Sorry, maybe the better wording should be: "How is the NCB % bonus determined and what is its path within the 4 months of existence?"

i was under the impression that NCB bonus % = NUB bonus % at the time of creation.

That doesn't really make sense to me considering that I've had my account for almost a year, but recently made a new character and currently have a 138% bonus.

The bonus is sized so that (given full determination and a smart strategy) you'll end up at 95% of the #1 character at the time the bonus runs out.
So the higher rangers charector gets the higher the BA prices for the ncb charectors will be.

Your BA base price is based on your highest VPR/PR character.
NCB also adds to this price, so having a giant character and a small NCB character will make buying BA very high.
