Question about PPT

When taking a PPT do you still get the ten percent increase to bank size because ever since the update for the new market turn options the text about getting the ten percent is no longer there for a PPT.

It does seem a bit crazy to have a bank increase cost the same as a bank increase plus a PPT.

It doesn't. It costs ~20k uu and a MT for PPT+10% bank size (and you can only do this 2x per week). It costs only 1 mt for the 10% bank increase. Basically if you want to increase your bank size I would suggest 2 ppts and 1 mt after that on 10% increases.

4 attacks? 'cause 4 ATs (not to mention 2 hours) doesn't quite make sense...

not a person in this game would be stupid enough to waste 20k uu on it

you farm 9bil you need to use 30 attack turns

to raid 20k uu at average you need more

Current Exchange rates:
4,640,000,000 Naquadah for 184 Turns for 9,400 Mining Bot/Lifers

so by those rates its roughly 9bill naq, 370ATs or 19k uu.
if u convert the value of the ATs and the uu into naq, youll find that naq is by far the cheapest way to buy PPT :)

Something you are missing though is that you can get a bank size increase in Perg. You can't do the PPT thing there of course.

You can get PPT in normal reality and then switch to perg, if I'm not mistaken. Of course, you can't switch realms at any time you wish, but, what with the possibility to trade your MTs for turns, it isn't as much of a problem as before.

Funny Starr; once you're on PPT, you spent an MT, hence you cannot trade your MTs for turns as they only come in threes.

:P


As for me.. I always trade AT's for PPT.
*feels like a freaking noob*
I'll remember to change that. >_>
