A couple of the players in my lodge are trying to double check some of the ACP totals and have said it would be helpful if the Purchased boon section shows how much ACP was paid for various things. One player in particular has been aggressive it grabbing all the 0-cost chronicle boons from season 1, so his list is very long and double checking the price on each to see if it was a free or non-free boon is taking a lot of time. He's also said its tricky with some of the scaling cost boons to know how much he originally paid. I can also imagine its possible that some boon's ACP cost might change in the future, so knowing the boon cost at purchase time would be very critical for audits.

It's me, I'm "players", but yes, I've got a lot of adventures under my belt and am trying to double-check everything. I realize it still won't be perfect showing the costs, but it'd help to find potential errors on that end.

I'm not sure what the point of that would be? You can still see the price of the boon after buying it, and it's not like they change the price of any boons (outside of pricing errors). Just compare what you have to the cost of the boon listed above.

You can also see how much ACP you earned by looking through your sessions, as it's reported per session on the very right.

Multiple boons change price, and seeing what you paid for something lets you verify the cost you paid for it. Verification is part of the point, especially when the system is buggy in general.

Yeah, in the same way you might list what you paid for an item next to it, instead of having to look it up every time you want to check, I think it would be useful to have what you paid listed by the boon.

However, there are also many other features I’d rather have first on that page, like collapsible sections so I don’t have to look at starfinder and playtest point boons I’ll likely never buy, purchased boons sorted by character, etc.
