NCB (in General)

I am thinking of doing a NCB run to grow my tattoo. Would it be worthwhile to start with a base, train till MTL goes above my current tat and switch, then do a second run doing the same thing and sell the 2 lower level tat? Do people still buy low level tats?

good idea all around, and yes a lot of n*bs will buy low

imo use named roe

Once I get my debt paid off, I'm going to be looking to insta-up my RoS, so I'd say it'd be a good decision.

Lots of people look for insta's and stuff at lower levels to stay at max efficiency.

I am actually thinking of using sickone's strat, except with Hal instead of ToA. That way I can concentrate my money into repayment + more forging, and get an extra kill slot with decay. Only problem is that I think I might want an AoJ that I have no idea how it works.

Why does it matter if it is named, Rawr, now that it doesn't give any bonus? :P

when my nub runs out i'm going to start a NCB and use a RoE until i reach the level of my current tat. Of course im going to switch to a RoS strat after that =/ I think the idea of using a Roe instead of growing a diff tat until you can switch to the one you are trying to level seems more worthwhile in the long run.

Why does it matter if it is named, Rawr, now that it doesn't give any bonus? :P

Named RoE gives a 4% bonus =p actually.

i would guess that most strats with a tat could best the 4% bonus a named roe would give over their life with better challenge bonuses.

levelling up a tat and selling it off has always seemed like a no brainer, excpet for possibly your final mpr run, for that one having a mtl tat for most of it would likely help enough with challenge bonuses to make it a better option.

dudemus if they make it to 6/20 there is no challenge bonuses so why waste the effort?

no negative challenge bonus, you can still get positive though.
