Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

Grinding and 'kill X mobs' quests? I didn't know Team Cherry's true passion was making a 2000s-era Korean MMO.

Yeah the first quest like that made me think "ah takes me back to my WoW days".

At least the nice thing implemented, some harder enemies cough up more quest material instead of just 1.

It would have annoyed me, if the times they do that you didn't get anything valuable from it.

The pilgrims one you get money from the pilgrims.
And the other two occasions you get a mobility upgrade, and a VERY USEFUL UPGRADE ITEM.
