    I can't recall exactly. Cost is between 3~4 million and whatever someone else said 1xx chips. I'm not logged in to check and a bit sick so my memory's scrambled. It's a lot more attainable for sure.

    Pearl and demon belt went from 1xx chips and 5 mil fee to 37 chips and 700k fee, not sure about the tauren cape.
    The fee doesn't show unless you have enough chips.

    Wha? I'm loving it. 700k for the pearl thanks to an alt and the 40 chips from stash box while I get to hoard chips on my main for lunar stuff? Yes pls.

    Granted, a lot of people spent a fortune on the stuff, but it's no different than a veno spending 25mil on a pet, only to have a sale a week later where every nub veno and their neighbour get the same thing for half the price. Or people buying a boa for 30 mil and having it go on sale for 40gold. Deal with it I guess.

    pet packs on sale only affect venos not everyone.......and the mount sale doesnt ruin economy cause its not a necessity in game, u dont need a mount to be better, but molds are and do apply to all.

    yes those sales did suck for some ppl, but dont affect the whole community

    In the incoming future patch, there will be new ways to earn more chips. Which is probably why they adjusted the prices.

    Also, there was a lot or difference between some lower level molds that asked for a ton of chips and coins, and other high level molds that asked for ridiculously low amount of chips and money.

    From what I saw, the change streamlined the cost of items of relative same level to a relative same value. Which makes more sense than previously.

    I hope this is a glitch. I've spent a fortune on my sky demon pearl last week.

    ~7.8m for the mold

    Then a guildie comes up to me and says they have a premade one +5 that they will sell me for 8.5m. I got it. I was trying to resell the mold that I got before with no luck yet, and now this!?

    I also know a few people in my guild who are upset with this. Economy has gone whack.
    I call it how I see it.
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Thanks Santacruz! :D

    Gold mats are still the same. Only "change" is on the molds.

    Hey Everyone,

    The answer is pretty straight forward. In the coming weeks a new NPC will be added to the game, the Bounty Hunter. This NPC will provide players with a new daily quest to kill different bosses within the game for extra EXP/rewards. The highest tier of rewards includes stacks of chips, hence the increased cost for some items.

    Phew, pretty refreshing not having to be vague for once. ;)

    Is the highest tier reward lvl based or selectable? or use some other system?

    ok increased cost for some items is understandable, what about decreased cost of A LOT items like misty ring, sky's necklace.....b:angry

    It seems all mold prices have been normalized.

    All weapons are now about the same chip cost.

    Same with armor and ornaments.

    There is not much difference in cost between a misty forest ring and a heavenly lord ring.

    Overall I think the new prices are an improvement.

    There was an overall re balancing of the pricing of these items. Some were increased, some decreased. ;)

    If you give too little updates, people will be mad. If you give too much updates, people will be mad. Either way people will be mad. And, for every update, there is always a group of players who dislike it. Therefore, you are probably not going to make everyone happy, unless of course, you are the ultimate gaming host.

    QFT. It's true.

    The only people who are mad are those whose assets lost value. Now, the chip costs for various molds actually makes sense. It'll make things easier for the rest of us. I'm sure those who can afford Misty Forest rings before have more than enough money anyway.
