Phoenix actual cost?

I think different people wind up with different dollar costs for phoenixes. Of course, you get random amounts of feathers and sources, and some people buy golds with coins instead of dollars, but also last weekend, gold was 15% off and battle packs were on sale (and maybe they had some kind of luck thing going for people opening battle packs)?

If you ignore sales and luck and in-game coins, I have seen numbers like $158 for a phoenix. But, last week, a lot of people got them for much less.

Feeding them takes hay but low level characters can get hay from tortoises, rhinos and (later on) antelope. If you want you can also get a tome or a blessing to help defray your costs. Level 80 characters can get blessings along with a chain of other goodies for $10 (assuming you paid full price for your golds), and tomes cost maybe $4 plus some fragments from rebirth. (You can also buy one week books for I think $2-ish, which might cost you $8/month until you can get something better -- but if you play enough for this to be worthwhile you might also play enough to be gathering enough hay, so you could feed your bird some hay whenever its loyalty dropped 50 points.)

How long would I expect to get it in game though?

This would depend on your level -- high level characters earn coins faster than low level characters. For example: Level 79 skills will cost you 1 million coins for each skill. Higher level skills might cost 3 million each. (Belittle and Arcane Antimony.) This will take some time to earn, of course, but your time should be measured in hours, and not in weeks (unless you do not play very often, or maybe you have other priorities you need to be spending money on).

While I have your attention, we mine as well make this thread complete with info needed for pets.

So 9,999 feathers or force stones to get a legendary pet ticket(?)

How much coin per feather (or feather group?) should one expect?

Can one just buy the leg ticket instead of gathering up all the mats?

Anywhere from 1.5k - 2.5k per item, 2k on average, and the chances of finding someone who went through the trouble to get enough to get the pet ticket and is selling it is not very high, and even then you're looking at 20-25 mil to buy the ticket as the pet egg itself isn't tradeable, just the ticket is.


Mind if I suggest using the search function, or reading the stickied threads at the top of this forum?

Please note that coin cost of each feather/source depends on your server. Prices differ from server to server. LC sells them anywhere from 2-3k a piece, feathers closer to 3k.

Xmas blessings can be had for ~1.2m now on LC due to the Supply Stash.

Or you stack up youre money and wait till you see a good deal somewhere.. That is what I did..

On HT they sell BPP for 60k now, i find it to expensive.. So I kept my money in my safe and waited for a good deal.. And there it was, BPP for 50b:pleased

Yeah. I think you should save your money and shop around for a deal. of course i was extremely lucky and had 14mill with me the weekend that battle pet packs went on sale =0. And I would not buy gold from the AH 'cause of the fees

There's also a 2% transaction fee to exchange coin.

My point was it's better to buy the items from other players, and not the CS. The only time you will get 1g for 100k is when someone uses WC to advertise that in which case there is no 2% transaction fee.
