U really must change the price of the Perfect Hammer in the cash shop......its common sense to reduce it...Am sure this has been suggested before, but common the chest of coins are completely useless at the current gold cost of hammers.................either that or remove chest of coins and replace with something sensible...

    i find it fail that u need a hammer for the stash at 50/80 with current gold prices thats like 2m+ per hammer and all u get at 50 is a 3* weap ya its pretty decent but any yellow mold weap is just as good if not better (and cheaper) also thats 2m for a weap youll use a max of 10 lvls (when u switch to ur TT weap)...not worth 5 bucks for 10 lvls of a semi decent weap sorry

    the hammersare pointless they way things are now and the devs know it. at the very least they should make it possible to win one in the cube or something. i see no ponit in busting my hard earned coin to get a item that MIGHT give me 2 mill coin that costs almost the same amount.

    That is exactly what I have been thinking.
    1gold=400-500k
    perfect iron hammer costs 5 gold and its consumable!
    it should be consumed after 5 boxes cos otherwise the hammer costs more than the 1million coins you get

    Lowering the cost of hammers would increase the base of gold price exponationaly.

    At the moment, 5 gold = 1mil at it's verry min
    If you reduce the price of a hammer by 2 gold, 3gold = 1mil.

    Thus increasing the lowest possible price per gold by almost 100%

    In other words:
    NO

    Well, I agree that something has to be done. I mean, requiring the hammer to open lvl 50 and 80 supply stashes is somewhat reasonable. Requiring it to open a chest of coins (5 gold = around 2 mil on my server) worth about half the price (1 mil) is definitely not sensible. Unless of course your goal is to go bankrupt.

    Options:

    - Remove the chest of coins,
    - Make the chests give more coins
    - Replace the chests with something else
    - Make the hammer cheaper
    - Combination of the above

    Either way, as it is now, the coin chests have absolutely zero use at all, they're just sitting there, collecting dust.

    Remove the Chest of Coins

    Remove the Supply Stash

    Add Perfect Permanent Hammer, untradable and infinite uses.

    Also make Chest of Coins untradable. lol I have what 150-200 of those I could open. lol
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    10 lvls?

    Yeah, maybe if your a axe build. But I myself am a Sword/Fist build (with ability to use poles), so i've used it for 20 lvls. (got at lvl 50, i'm currently lvl 70). It's +1 Attack, and phys dmg + stats make it very useful for my AoE skills on it. So it currently can keep up with my fists and sword dmg output w/o much trouble.

    So are you saying.... that perf hammer is the magic key item for gold prices on server? I remember a day when gold on server was 100-150k... hammers existed then at 5 gold... ahhhh chests were so nice back then.

    I have specific memories of when the hammer/chest of coins first came out. What you're saying might have been true for a day or two, but you're thinking of prices just BEFORE the chest of coins. It almost immediately jumped to just over 200k. The forums were flooded with posts saying that no one would buy gold that high, everyone would quit...pretty much the same stuff that people post nowadays about gold.

    Before anni packs, perfect hammers were what set the gold price. I wish people would use common sense like Sirrobert though.

    Why dont they just take the hammer out of the botique and make it a fb boss drop? Maybe fb 39 would rarley drop the perfect iron hammer. That way the people who dont spend money on gold wont miss out on there lvl 50/80 supply chest.

    Your memory omits a vital fact.

    Perfect Hammers existed before Chest of Coins did. Their only use at that point was for the Supply Stash, which meant they had almost no effect on Gold prices.

    But then Jolly Jones started at the same time the Chest of Coins came out. Jolly Jones shot Gold prices up to around ~185k, which made Chest of Coins/Perfect Hammer somewhat questionable, profit wise.

    But after Jolly Jones ended people had acquired stockpiles of Chest of Coins, meaning Gold prices would never-ever-ever drop below about ~180k ever-ever-ever again.

    So yes, they are a magic key item for Gold prices on the server. They set the minimum price for Gold, but at the moment Gold is far above that minimum due to Packs.
