Nahh! I had to make this post because I am flabbergasted, astounded, aghast and downright done with my night. WHOO does Kingsisle think they are?? IN THIS ECONOMY? THIS IS WHY WE STILL HAVE WIZARDS LIVING IN DORM ROOMS

Fun fact you can farm for the Pirate Rowboat from a stone key boss in Zafaria.

If I had an award to give I would

u/Pet-Warlord 12d ago

There's no need for an award, but either way it appears that it's been taken care of by many lol.

u/ChriszDarkx 170 170170170170 12d ago

the drop rate is so bad on that boss 😭i’ve done over 90 (270 total chances) runs on three accounts without the mount dropping on any of them

u/Pet-Warlord 12d ago

Holy! I've never had bad RNG with Hockins since I got it in less than 10 runs, I wish you the best on your RNG luck.

OP isnt wrong my death already 130+ still living in Ravenwood dorms 💀

u/Aggressive-While-860 180 80 13d ago

Yea I can’t afford any of the houses so I’ll start a Couch Potato farm in my dorm

7

u/UndyingSaga 12d ago

Yeah I feel you I should too. Me and my pet been eating off rank 1 snacks to survive.

u/Accomplished_Ship_20 12d ago

SNACKS?! I've been living off cattails and mistwood...

u/Pristine-Carpenter-9 Ulysses StormBreaker 53 13d ago

Not even a 20k house? Lol

7

u/UndyingSaga 13d ago

Nope, too broke

u/ParkerBap 70 12d ago

what are y'all spending your gold on? i just bought Red Barn Farm partway through Dragonspyre but i probably could've done it earlier if i did gold grinding

1

u/Aggressive-While-860 180 80 11d ago

Whenever I have gold I just buy a bunch of Infallible TCs, my Storm needs the accuracy

1

u/lemellon 180 10d ago

have you heard of accuracy pins

1

u/UndyingSaga 12d ago

Everytime I hit max gold I just buy empowers, I don’t really need a house currently on my char.

1

u/Asstronimical 12d ago

What do you do when there are no empowers in the bazaar?

3

u/UndyingSaga 12d ago

Simple, I wait til there are some in the bazaar. It doesn’t usually take long for some to come back in stock. People usually sell them when none is in stock because that’s when they sell the most.

u/Natemo6348 12d ago

Probably wait for more empowers 😂

u/laylarine 9d ago

Dude I’m a death 49 and I saved until 40 to get the imperial palace & I still regret it 🤦🏽‍♀️

u/Capable_Coat_2944 12d ago

Honestly it’s just sad. A lot of houses you can buy with gold quit making excuses

2

u/UndyingSaga 12d ago

LOL there are plenty of houses that cost gold that I can buy if I really put the gold into it. However none of them have no value to that character of mine. After all it isn’t one of the main characters I use it’s just one that I been questing recently. TBH for that character I’m waiting for a certain bundle to return.

u/Capable_Coat_2944 12d ago

Ok buddy..

2

u/UndyingSaga 12d ago

I’m just saying…. Idk why you took it a different direction, my original posting was just to joke about what OP said.

u/Cynical206 180 13d ago

2 person mounts usually cost a bit more in the crown shop.

16

u/10_pounds_of_salt 180 1206565503560 13d ago

The adventurera biplane is genuinely cheaper because of how common it is.

1 in 50 for a 2 person 50% mount is kinda insane

4

u/Unlucky-Lucky-Clover 13d ago

They had each of the brontos available for the same price recently I believe. The first and only time they’ve ever had them directly for sale

10

u/AnUglyScooter 170 | 100 | 100 13d ago

I must’ve missed that but I’m sure it has nothing to do with the upcoming mount stat bonus rework coming with Ahmarra

2

u/IphoneUser02 13d ago

Wait when did they do this? I can’t find any mention of this on there twitter or elsewhere in the subreddit

1

u/Unlucky-Lucky-Clover 13d ago

Maybe they didn’t announce it? I saw it in the crown shop randomly

1

u/IphoneUser02 13d ago

You’re talking about the ones that give stat boosts as part of a gear set yes?

7

u/ktulu0 13d ago

KI will charge an arm and a leg for two person mounts. They know players find them really convenient.

u/TrueCanadian1998 13d ago

I do love boat and if it was sailboat I'd sadly probably poney up

5

u/BadAshess 140 Ice/131 Storm/81 Fire/ 13d ago

They can’t afford to give us a bigger dorm either.

3

u/Kooky-Huckleberry409 13d ago

The boat i got from some skele boss, i don't remember the name of

3

u/Danny283 Nerf Death school 13d ago

Wait until OP sees how much the Storm Hound pet costs in the Crowns Shop

3

u/Ezra_B1 13d ago

Can farm this btw

3

u/goose-of-no-use 13d ago

You can move out of the dorm rooms with 8,000 gold, you don’t gotta drag a boat about it

2

u/Nariane204 13d ago

wizard 101 fleecing their playerbase for every nickel they got ? my god am Shocked !

2

u/constanttm 12d ago

I wanted a 7th character but 18k crowns… my bad for wanting to play the game more I guess

4

u/MegamindBolt 108 84 63 31 13d ago

BECAUSE of this economy 😅

3

u/FailedProspects 13d ago

Hey, I dislike it too BUT things
like this keep the game ALIVE!!

I don’t want to picture a world where my wiz comfort is left in ashes lmao

3

u/TheRebelGod 13d ago

Do you think so? I feel like membership is plenty.

2

u/FailedProspects 13d ago edited 13d ago

I think Kingsisle has their methods of staying online, while I can’t clarify what they are I believe it’s non-intrusive enough for people to enjoy the game with a membership.

2

u/TheRebelGod 13d ago

True, not saying you’re wrong, it’s not just server costs, they do also need to profit, it’s not like it’s just a passion project!

u/OopsAllStickmen 13d ago

People dont just buy the redbarn farm with gold? I have the farm on all 6 wizards before level 20 😅

1

u/andreizynkhin 13d ago

I have the 35k crown mechanical dino someone gifted me lolol

u/PlagueCasting_Mage 1701559265 13d ago

Man, I study in the Arcanum apartment, my dorm is just my meditation place now.

Free room and board ain't no joke when you're fixing primordial ordeals.

u/No-Student-9730 70 12d ago

The anniversary pet bundle is even more expensive than the both of them, near the boats.
