So me and my guild we like to see all our options when we want to decorate stuff. So our plan was we were going to dedicate an area in our hall which we’d dub as “IKEA” and have 1 of every decoration there to show it off. Now that’s fine and dandy and all but as we’re going through scribe the absolute level of bullkitten costs for some of the decorations is absolutely insane.
Take the Large Festival Tent as an example. The first tent was more like an umbrella so we decided be cool if we had a bigger one to do stuff under. It costs 450 Linen Rope and few other things. So you might say “Wow spirit that’s bad, but not too bad”
But then when you go to craft linen rope you realize 1 linen rope = 150 flax fibers. So lets do a little math. 450 Linen Ropes X 150 Flax Fibers = 67,500 flax fibers total needed for cost. Flax fibers aren’t as easy to get as flax either. So lets say you were to buy all of that. 67,500 (Flax Fiber) / 250 (Stack size) = 270 Stacks. 1 Stack of Flax Fiber (If you were to buy on TP) Costs 11 gold roughly. 11 Gold per Stack X 270 Stacks = 2970 GOLD. To get this decoration you would need to pay the cost of a LEGENDARY for one. Don’t even try to say “But you could list it and buy it for cheaper” It would still exceed 1000-2000 gold that way.
There are other examples (Kegs + Keg Racks notable…) of absolutely insane mat costs that make me wonder if the devolpers had actually thought about how hard it would be to get some of this stuff. It’d probably take less time to farm for a legendary
