I'm trying to get the hang of it, however... what grinds my gears is this.
...
The amount of gold spent trying to get certain items is more then the finished item is actually worth.
And yet I would get no credit buying it, I'm stuck spending over 20k on an item that's only worth seven.
...
Is it worth it? Really?
I'm level one... what perks do level two and higher get?
And the ingredients... why must they be so expensive when the outcome is not?
Take the twin snake shoulder pads for example. 7k for one item, but when you have three items to get that cost that just ain't fair.
I totally admit. I stopped doing it aswell. It just takes waaaaaaaaay too much gold. I don't think it's worth it, though.
Guys, this hasn't really been out all that long.
I mean it is new.
I'm not saying don't give up, but this hasn't even seen a full month yet.
It's not gonna come out perfect.
Of course things are gonna go up in MP because that just the oppurtunity to get more for these common things you can just get on your own.
Not trying to sound cheesy, but they did say this was gonna be timely and costly.
I know we all wanna rush into what's new and get what we can, but the point behind this isn't the greed.
Like real alchemist do, its for the challenge.
This point of this is to have you scavage all around the world of Gaia, literally and to get back into the previous things the site had to offer.
-The zOMG, for the drops, so if you didn't get into the early or at all, of course it's gonna be hard now.
-Gaia is trying to take us back to Fishing as you can see, which takes patience on it's own.
-Slots or Blackjack for Tickets
-Towns for trash, bugs, and flowers
-Credit from playing Word Bump
-Pancakes from the Housing Shop on Gaia
And more.
And, if anyone hasn't noticed, these all really STARTING ITEMS you get when you first get into the games on here. ALL these items you get in the begining of these games are used to make probably the most important formula in Alchemy, which is the Golden Giftboxes.
-You get things like Pink Flamingo Feathers, Wing Tree Leaf, and Plastic on the FIRST real level of the zOMG. Village Greens. Anyone who would have gotten into the zOMG would have had these things already. And, if you still play it it shouldn't be a problem to get now. They even have people there just WAITING to help newer people. You don't have to go far to even get these.
-You'd have things like guppies and goldfish, Tires, Old Cans, and Boots, if you were already well and good into Fishing because it's something EVERYONE had to get. And, if you had just kept fishing, you'd have a ton by now. That goes for fish AND trash.
-Slots and Blackjack always provided Tickets and have been useful up to this day for things from the Prize and Joy shop, which Gaia tends to put new things in with just about every shop update.
-Towns has always been here and bugs, trash, and flowers may not have SEEMED useful, but Gaia has be hinting on slowly. The introduction of the Skin Tyte shop and using bugs from town to make skin dyes, which people have been wanting for the longest, until they came out.
-The credit from Word Bump was given, if you got into the game. As well as good amounts of gold JUST for SPELLING words quick enough. I don't know how easy that can get.
If ANYONE had just kept playing these games and just doing that, along with the discount Gaia had on the Golden Giftboxes when they were limited, I'm sure they would have had a TON of Golden Giftboxes by now.
Alchemy is just a hint that tells you to get back into the site for something new and interesting at your own cost.
They already said it was gonna take up gold, so this being like this isn't really much of a surprise.
Do what you can, work the Marketplace for vending, if you know how because it DOES come in handy, stop expecting to succeed all the time, because the concept here is to lose and you MIGHT gain.
This isn't guranteed.
As for as gold prices for things, that depends on the people you deal with and the fact that this has only REALLY just started.
So, it's not gonna come out perfect.
If you find a way to be fast with it, then that's good for you.
But, you take away what little fun, if you have that, you COULD be having with the concept of what's going on here.
And, you only mess it up more, if you have no patience with things like this and you just rush through.
If you do rush through, just... wait.
If not, go at it, have fun.
Stop being tempted to trot through and just buy these things.
WORK for them.
Go to the games, have fun with them.
Go in groups, if you have to.
One of the only reasons people are just giving up so quickly is because to make these simple things, it takes "way too much gold" for you and they are using comopnent from games you stopped playing and probably thought were dumb as this site when was coming along and newer things came out.
And, now it's haunting you.
If you can't see the hint of just playing these games to get what you need, instead of buying, or getting mad at overpriced, and is still gonna be impatient with it, then hey.
There is SO much to do on Gaia now and if you're bored and still say you have nothing to do or don't wanna get into what they have because you think its dumb, then that no one's fault, but you own.
There aren't enough people who know what one is or that you have to to get anywhere.
And, if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's called "sacrifice."
You have to give something up and you're not always gonna get something up to par with what you gave.
Gotta learn that to get anywhere in life, as well as alchemy.
Don't mess up the fun for yourself by thinking or these trival prices of things, this and that.
Stop trying to have a competition with yourself.
So, try your best to kick back and have fun.
That's all this is suppose to be.
Fun.
