So, GCD.
It's been a while. I've been caught in the world on the Tumblr, Homestuck, and Cosplay. (not that I havent been lurking!)
So to the point:
We all love items.
Some of these items are expensive.
So expensive that, even if you have enough gold for these items, it makes you think twice before clicking the purchase button in the MP.
I'm sure there's an expensive item we all covet, whether it's a coat, or hair, or eyes, or a nice body mod, etc.
And, every so often, we're left without a cheaper substitution!
The item's I have been coveting were Kanoko (SD Plus) for her lovely brown eyes (theres a serious lack of non-gold shop brown eyes) and Persephone for her long, flowing locks of onyx.
And there weren't any decent substitutions (in my opinion) for either!
However, that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked when Rosamund's Revenge was released! This lovely item blessed me with lovely brown eyes, erasing any desire for Kanoko! (however, I stiiiiill might buy Persephone!) Hallelujah, Ultra Satan be praised!
So, GCD, spoons for you:
-Are there any expensive items that you covet? What are they?
-Do these items items have suitable substitutes?
-Are these items without substitutes, leaving to quest/ponder buying these expensive treasures?
-Has an update ever saved you millions of gold?
