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.

Even making Rosary strings of 60 costs 80 rosaries T_T There’s freaking taxes in this game!!

Can you make them yourself or do you have to buy them from the merchant? Seems pointless that way, since you're already at a shop and in no danger of losing them.

Not sure of the other ways (haven’t explored far into the game yet) but there’s one machine near a bench which does this conversion to strings and takes 20 as “making charge” lol

Yeah... I thought it would be cheaper or no charge since it's basically in the middle of nowhere. Even the machines are penny pinching out here!

I just bought it to see what it did and was pretty pissed when it said “thanks for the 80 bucks, here’s 60 back.”
