Now, I know Josh has said there’s over 1000 baubles in World 2, but I’m still thinking that all the upgrades available are just a bit too pricy.

The flute is 250. The upgraded candle is 400. The nunchucks are 400. The upgraded health potion is 350. The new wallet is a full 500, which means having to get a full upgraded wallet, and then make sure to get to the store without spending/using any.

It just feels all a little much, especially when upgrades like the candle are required to progress.

What I don’t like is that it feels like all the baubles are found in super secret areas. While in World 1, you could still get a decent amount just scattered across the zones, there are literally none scattered across World 2.

So, it really breeds a mentality of going to Dulfy and finding out how to get to the chests, so you can buy the upgrades and start to play World 2.

Ooof… I’ve been looking for information about how expensive the W2 items are, and now I know. O.o Guess my characters will be doing daily runs through W1 to pad out their baubles before heading into W2.

I dunno, I have 6 stacks of 250 sitting in the bank now because I have to keep emptying. Granted this is from mostly repeats of zone one, and doing the Tribulation modes.

Sure the Trib modes take a long time, but each Trib chests gives you over 250 baubles.

The flute is 250. The upgraded candle is 400. The nunchucks are 400. The upgraded health potion is 350. The new wallet is a full 750, which means having to get a full upgraded wallet, and then make sure to get to the store without spending/using any.

It just feels all a little much, especially when upgrades like the candle are required to progress.

The wallet is 500 (unless you were referring to it’s new amount that it can hold). And I believe the upgraded potion is 300.

But yes it is quite a lot.

Yeah. And a lot of the good World 1 digging spots give drastically fewer baubles too, so I can’t just farm those to fill up my wallet.

I only found 1 secret digging spot so far in World 2. Zone 3, near the beginning for 50 baubles. The jumps aren’t the easiest, but they could be worse. Too bad it’s only once per account.

Sorry. I did mean 500. I was thinking of how much it holds.

Yeah, but I’ll be getting all 5 of my characters through W2 and buying all of the upgrades for each of them. So that’s a LOT of baubles.

I’m not insane enough to do Infantile/Tribulation Mode on all of them though. XD That honor will go to my Asura with his Distinction in Applied Jumping degree.

I’ve found 4 dig spots (totally by accident granted) in World 2, a few in Zone 2, and a few in zone 1 (have yet to really do Zone 3 due to me putting off the torch for so long lol), and 3 of them were for 50 baubles… not that bad, not to mention a lot of chests in World 2 have 50 baubles, it’s really not hard to get teh cash.

Might help to know where all those are, and how difficult they are to reach. Chests are fine and good, but you have to be lucky enough to get a key, or have to burn baubles on it.

Baubles are super easy to get. The only real issue I have is that the coin purse doesn’t upgrade that much further. You’re now stuck at 750, which after a world 1 tribulation run is almost completely filled.

I found them to be pretty reasonable prices still. Like back in ye olden games you gotta start from the beginning in order to have an upper hand towards the end (not that W2 is the end). Starting from W1-1 you can get 400-500 Baubles by the time you make it to W2-1. Then add in the Baubles you can find in W2 and you’re set for 2 items a day. Each Tribulation Mode run almost yields enough Baubles for an upgrade as well. You need to bring that wealth up from the beginning.
