Yeah, I think LW genuinely does a pretty good job of balancing the tightrope between hardcore 16-hour-a-day grinders and "log in for 5 minutes for dailies once a day" players.

That said, it actually turns out that even just buying pebbles is difficult, which I wasn't expecting. I've been trying to offer gems for pebbles (figuring I could then later convert the pebbles on LW to MS), but even that's been really difficult to find. So it seems like, in general, KS items on LW are oversaturated, but currency in general is highly prized, with wolves being somewhere in between.

Not petty salt, I felt this vindication when they tried to sell me a skin barely retired marked up at 3kg (I declined and blocked them + warn friends about them to block them who make skins), and then literally a month later the accent artist reprinted it along w/ 2 new recoloures.

Sometimes it is worth waiting for miracle <3

I love threads like this where people are like "can you BELIEVE there's ONLY 12 Radioactive/Eggplant/Lemon dragons EVER? Look at her <3333"

Like, babe. 12 isn't that impressive, the color combo is mid at best, and your dragon is so covered in accent and apparel it could be a triple obsidian for all I know.

(I know I'm being a salty wanker and should let people enjoy their dragons, so I obviously don't say this to their faces, but I think it's funny that one man's 3 year long breeding project is another man's fodder.)

There's something honestly cute about it, honestly. I've had people buy my fodder for their dream dragon projects because the colors are close enough and it's like, well, as long as they are happy it's cool, right? I'm glad we all like different color combos and genes even if I don't get it, variety is fun.

i've been trying to give their typing a break bc im pretty sure they don't speak english natively, but at this point all i'm getting from their posts is keysmashing. what the fuck does this say

Loose translation (I think)

'If devs need 100 - 200 KG in income, they can always add an item in the market with that item

This way, everyone is on equal footing.

Imagine there is a game where a boss does something when ever you fight it. Even if you know about this boss, you can't fight it because you are underage, and when you finally can play the game, the boss is unbeatable.

(Doubt you need this part, but just doing it for completion's sake) Edit: We can see that the most profitable items in the developers eyes are around 500g not 500K g'

Made a typo: It should be 'they can always add an item in the market with that price' Not item...

Tbf, there were the Sun/Moon/Eclipse and Enderling/Eye packs that you could by for cash before launch.

But those weren't limited-time, you can buy them for moonstones now when they show up in the mole market, thankfully.

AYRT

Actually I don't, but I don't know why A needs one. I just got used to 'translating' typos/bad english because I love reading and I found free online fiction decades ago. While there are some really good ones out there, there are some really bad ones as well, and when I first found it, I didn't realize I didn't have to slog through the bad ones :P

The 'vials' being included in the last sentence makes me think they are actually saying "Edit: As we can see with how the Eye Vials are priced, the developers think that 500g, aka the price of a Vial of Elemental Sight, is the most profitable as a currency sink and for the player as an attainable goal, not 500kg."

(Anonymous) 2023-06-02 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
(Anon who translated)
Yeah, that is probably a much more accurate translation of that last part.

And it is probably true, because smaller sinks DO tend to be much better than large ones.

However, that doesn't mean that larger ones don't work, they just aren't used by the majority of the player base (which is what makes a currency really good)

I love people who sell leaf stacks and fest skins at insanely low prices. *blows a kiss*
As a newbie I've made so much from simply flipping festival items in the auction house.

Is Pixel Cats End related at all to or made by the same people who do the Fortress End ice dom pixel cats (or whatever they're called)? Or is the naming and design resemblances coincidental?

The pebbles you get for not excessively grinding though generally can't be used to buy much for you on the site though, at least not right now. KS backers also get help from the big pebble rewards their companions give them, but not everyone bought into the KS.

Is neither Wind or Water buying dragons for this push… or am I crazy

Don't see any public buys or raffles, just scavenger hunts/adopt sales.

This is probably a hot take, but I think lorwolf pets are kind of ugly, and I don't quite get the hype around them. Then again, I was never really into sparkle dogs.
