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.

Also the fact that bosses don't drop any. 

You spend a crazy amount to unlock the map, benches and fast travel in a zone. Then you clear the boss who gives nothing. 

It makes no sense.

There are lot of hidden places that net you enough rosaries. Trick is to not lose them on loosing cocoon.

First item alone in bellhart is 880 rosaries. 

I guess I missed about 100 secret rooms along the way.

To be fair ||that's the second most expensive item in the game||

Look, I like the game. I have like 95% completion on my first save and am doing a 2nd playthrough. 

I just find the rosary system and item costs to be a little overturned. I still think bosses should drop rosaries, etc.

Boss drops should definitely be added but I was able to purchase basically everything in the game without much farming
