How long does it take for your nnb to increase from 15 to 16? In terms of amount of crimes. I have 3 merit upgrades on nerve. Does this affect it not increasing? Thank you in advance

Your nerve bar will never naturally increase from 15 to 16. As your crime experience increases your nerve bar will increase in steps of 5 (15, 20, ... , 55, 60).

Using merits and Faction specials you can increase your nerve bar in steps of 1.

It will often take thousands of crimes to see an increase. It also depends on what types of crimes you're doing as well as how often you're jailed, as these both impact your NNB changes (or specifically your Crime Experience, which is what determines your NNB).

I would guess you'll need around 500-700 crimes, but like I said it'll depend on the type.

If you're going to jail regularly, you'll never progress. You have to avoid jail. Some crimes are "safe" crimes assuming your nnb is high enough, and you should do those.

Some crimes are never safe, no matter how high your nnb gets, and you should never do those. (With a possible exception for drug crimes, which are not safe. That is it's own discussion.)

I saved some info:
At the end of Level 7, I dinged to NNB = 20.
I had done 300 Search for Cash, 300 Sell Copied Media, and 155 Shoplift Jackets.
I've never stolen chocolates, so didn't have to deal with jail setbacks. If you are stealing chocolates, STOP!

you could increase your nerve bar with merits and do a reset down the road. ive always encouraged doing a newb build with merits anyways.

nerve (does not help in quality/success only quantity)
crime xp
awareness
bank interest
education time
maybe looting if you wanna do mugs


when you go to reset for your big boy set up i would do things like critical hits and life points and throw some in passives.

if you log in on Christmas day the last few years i always get a free merit reset so i mean you could work on your networth and nerve bar and maybe get lucking finding some stuff in the city. but awareness doesnt mean you will find good stuff but by finding more stuff you may end up finding more good stuff. but nothing says you will find more good stuff its just a hopeful thing.
