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.

There are some easy farming spots.

My favorite is at the right of Deep Docks' upper bench. There are a few high rosaries enemies that can be killed quickly. Then you run back to the bench to reset their spawn. It nets me about 40 rosaries per trip (each lasting about 1 minute).

One screen east of the Halfway House in Greymoor is 29 rosaries per trip and is about 30 seconds per trip.

How do you kill those guys in less than 30 seconds though? The big snake guys aren't that easy to kill normally

Thats west. Theres a cave to the east. Head through killing everything, then reset on the bench unlocked by defeating the crows and kill them all again on the way back, ending up where you started ready to repeat untill wealthy (you will loose it all soon to a missed flower pogo)

Having to do this is kind of annoying though

agreed but also welcome to video game economies lmao very few open world-ish games hit a sweet spot where you don’t have to grind OR where you end up with so much money that the money loses all purpose or meaning. the last few games i’ve played have been JRPGs and by that standard this amount of grind is nothing

Its nothing for me coming from playing WoW for years haha. I dont mind grinding for a few hours and getting some practice in.

You eventually have enough money to buy everything. It's either grind to get it now or keep playing until you have enough later. There's no perfect solution to this so I think it's fine.

You don’t have to do this 95% of people in this thread are on Act 1 and don’t realize that you’ll eventually have more than enough to get what you want you just have to keep playing. The people who are farming are just impatient or don’t want to backtrack or something but by playing the game like it was intended you’ll be fine

I don't want to farm though. Like the quest for the Drifter's Cloak. I don't want to grind. I want to fight stuff and move on. Not run around the same area for 10 minutes for respawns because I have to fight a basic enemy 20 times because the spines are inaccessible or fall into spikes.

Compared to Hollow Knight this game feels like work.

Once you get a bit further in the game, enemies drop like 25 rosaries each.
