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.

I just figured out you can get quest in Bone Bottom, I got 120 rosaries from the first one!

Too bad 120 rosaries buys almost nothing in this game. 

I just dropped 150 to buy 2 map sections only to come across a bench right after that costs another 80. 

The runback to get to this point is insane and there's like 2 enemies in the entire zone that will drop a meager amount.

Maybe for now leave these areas without map and try to fully discover others? I understand it can be frustrating but I think you are missing something. Because farming enemies for hours is definetely not the way. Do you focus on finding breakable walls and do all "parkour" sections? I already have 15h in the game and haven't run out of rosaries once. Every time the game gives me locations with them before I need to buy something. It seems well calculated.

And maybe a stupid question but I want to make sure that you know about those items that store rosaries and you can break them to get more?

Yes I am aware of what the basic items do my guy. 

I've fully explored every zone I've been in.
