is making NCB to level large tat worth it? (in General)


Steve G January 30 2009 2:14 PM EST

the question i ask is started a NCB actually worth it to level an already large tattoo, its been suggested but i don't see how it would be worth it, NCB lasts for what, 6 months? it would take about 4 months to even get to the point where i could use the tattoo, only leaving me like 1.5-2m to level it up with NCB.

i would think that sticking with my current non NCB character in that time i could level it up more than restarting and so called "power leveling it" not to mention my current character would be larger in the long run then one that i ran a NCB on

if this is the case then how come there are so many instances of people restarting to "power level" their tattoos? or does this rely on how large their tattoo is, mine is nearing 4.9m level so i can hardly see the value in it.

from what i see the only reason to do this would be if you wanted to change your strat and number of minions around (which i dont intend to)

your thoughts?

all depends a bit on how big the tattoo already is. If it is about 2 mil, go for it. If it's 6 mil, don't bother.

If you see chance to level a smaller one up to the point that you can use the bigger one, that might work even better :)

normally im 100% against use of USD for CB items (barring special items with money going to CB) so i took a shot this time.

id also like to point out one of the other main reasons i would be against it is that i actually spent USD to insta up to this tattoo and i feel it would be a waste to let it sit.

It was worth it with the old style RoE and 4 month ncb, now I dunno.

Did some tattoo levelling last year for other people. I'd say sticking with the current char is more worthwhile, otherwise as you say you're running for several months before the tattoo even starts levelling.

Going by your own numbers, 2 months of 4.5x NCB leveling vs. 6 months of regular leveling definitely seems worth it.

Bana i meant it would take like 4.5m to even be able to use the large tattoo which would mean like 1.5months to lvl it at the NCB bonus, you also have to take into consideration the fact that i could be growing my current active character during that time as well, not just the tattoo.

i still may or may not im just trying to feel this thing out, gotta take into consideration that i could level up another tattoo while i wait to get big enough for my current one that could be worth some coin as well..

oh well off to work, hope i can read a bunch more opinions when i return

oh my tattoo is a SF 4.9m etc

I'm talking purely in terms of tat levels. Even at 1.5 months, 1.5 x 4.5 is still 6.75.

you could always use the NCB to grow another tat and then sell it once you are ready for the bigger one...And then use that cash to insta up the one your currently have
