Glider Price Difference
Except there are exceptions. The pink glider that dropped hearts was only 400 gems. And the ugly wool sweater glider drops “lint” and was part of a slightly more expensive mini. Then there’s the effect laden E-mag glider which was also only 400 gems. Exalted was also 400 gems and it trailed light beams.
Mini prices are also variable but it seems more dart board related than some obvious rule of thumb.
It’s better to not try to find a method to their pricing madness other than if it is also a backpack it’s 300 gems more.

Theres a very easy way to understand their pricing madness.
It will go up.
They are not making much money from expansion and from other sales so they bump up prices.
I stopped buying bl keys because the chance of scraps are too kitten low and not value for money ankitten ow only buying select outfits.
So even if they cost a bit more they are still losing out because they refuse to work on making things more worthwhile.
And obviously I am saving more xD
Or since it’s part of a bundle, this price bumps up the pre-discount price of the glider. Maybe they will free the other gliders in bundles by having them at a 500 gem price.

Ok I’ve noticed some people comment on why are the bubble/ ironclad gliders more expensive than Exalted/Phoenix/Classic etc. Now I believe the difference is the trail effects which the bubble/ironclad posses. So from what I got it’s:
Glider Skin – 400gems
Glider Skins with a trail effect- 500 gems
Glider+Backpack Combo – 700 gems.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong
They charge 500 gems for some because they think they’ll still sell plenty at that price for that particular glider, not because of any innate characteristics. Pricing is partly science and mostly art and guesswork.
Someone there took one look at Bubble Glider and said, “aw, that’s so cuuute” and their boss said, “great, people who buy quaggan skins always spend cash whenever you say that, so we’ll put it at a premium price.” Someone else looked at ironclad and said, “ugh,” so it sells for less.
