sadly, my ncb is over... (in General)

well my ncb run is over after tonight's cache flush. here are some stats for those that like this sort of thing:

final mpr on kwai chang = about 3,170,000
final tattoo value = approximately 6.9m levels
tattoo growth over the ncb = about 2.3m levels
igot noname's nw = around 140m
kwai chang nw = $185,241,702




i sold igot noname at about 3m mpr to start this run and it was going to cost me over 55m apiece for additonal minions on him! while i didn't end up with as much mpr as if i had purchased minions for igot noname, i still ended up beating my old char for mpr (now luke skywalker).

i geared up and even upgraded gear for the first half of my ncb and bought no ba, just natural regen. about halfway through it, i stopped upgrading equipment and started buying ba durin xp times and other times when i could be sure that i had enough for all xp times. i rarely missed ba though. ; )

the only usd i spent was a few item namings along the way, no more or less than if i were not running an ncb though.

the spreadsheet should be finalized before i go to bed tonight:

ps ~ i also ended up about 34th in mpr rankings

my ending mpr is about 65% of the number one mpr in the game.

congrats bud! well run NCB. I think I'll finish slightly above you but not by much. It's funny but once you complete an NCB you've learned so much and you feel you could so easily run it again and do much better. It's so tempting to run a new one.

Great job tho. Very impressive.

i too am eager to do another one. i will wait until i have a little more growth time for the tat. i will also wait until at least the soc and aoj bugs with the jiggy are fixed, i do think that hampered my ability to get better challenge bonuses.

in a year we may have 500% bonus too! ; )

Well done sir!!!

Especially without buying BA every day.

At least you now have a tattoo to fight at the upper levels.

So, do you know how much money, not USD, you used that you had before you started your NCB.

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] April 22 2009 9:11 PM EDT

i had several million when i started, but i spent all of that gearing up and then boosting my gear. again i did not start buying ba until halfway through and all of the bought ba was done with the rewards from fighting. i would buy some ba during non bonus times if i had enough extra though.

i will check the sale thread and see what i sold igot for as that is pretty much what i started with, but again that was spent on gear.
