So, by purchasing 7500ce for $19.95...

Assuming one starts this process with 2* gear after they've played the game, and decided to invest money into it. If a player buys the Starter Pack, they'd have enough resources to pretty much craft end-game gear. Recipes, alchemy costs, and energy costs to upgrade a helmet, armor, and weapon from 2* to 5* leaves 25,000cr and 500ce, remaining, right? With top tier equipment, that's a stone's throw away from crafting everything you need to beat the game, I think.

So anybody can take out 95% of the grind by paying $20 once?

Yes. Hopefully players don't

Yes. Hopefully players don't play simply to grind. Spiral Knights has far more to offer, fun that is to say, mostly. Also as soon as PvP will be released, I think the game will really take another dimension, and grinding as well. Also, an end-game player has achievements, I guess.

Knowing this game's community

Knowing this game's community they will throw away all their CE on robots and revives anyway. Also watch them craft pierce defense gear.

Just like buying a game, right?

Yeah, pretty much.

I mean, if it were say, just an infinite offline game with levels that shifted every once in a while and choice for AI teammates and stuff, I'd say $20 is a fair price for it.

The same way, if you want to free yourself from the stress of dealing with the player economy and waiting and all that, you can pay $20 and get a stress-free ride.

no lies, i had bought 10k CE and i did get quite something, but by far not as much as i got from selling materials later on

50+200+400+800=1450 for a 5*, then u sell alot of CE for crowns too, just for recipes and materials and stuff, also maybe change mind on weapons to try out more gear

i didnt throw anything away for revives or robots..

u so smart, yet dont understand majority of players not so smart like u ppl who figure everything in no time, not anybody can do that

I 100% wasted my 19.95+tax. I spent it on every single gate I saw and a few robots and found no problem in spending 320, 620 or 1k+ to revive just myself or my whole team. I went through the 7.5k CE in 1 day...

This time, I've bought the 20k CE and have been extremely smart and careful about it. I've only raged once and spent 320 to revive myself (damn Devilites...). I'm a collector in these types of games so I want to make sure I have all the resources I need to get the collection I want. :)

Thank you Darkiboo, it's people like you that make so that Three Rings can afford to allow people like me to play this game.

If you're from EU... the

If you're from EU... the total amount to spend is as little as 14€. I'd say not bad at all.

If World of Warcraft had anything like this... I would have saved months and months of monthly fees and annoying-repetitive tasks.

It all depends on how much you value your time. But let's be honest: 14€ for the high-end stuff is nothing. Of course you will get ONE gear set (example: I love the Gunslinger stuff). If you want to go 5-stars on another set (say bomber, swordsman, etc..) you will need more cash ;-)

I come in here to say this:

I have seen youtube videos of some boss fights where people have huge revive costs .. its just insane!
I want to say they are dumb, but I am glad for them ... cause then I look better when they have nothing from wasting it and I saved up and have cool stuff :P
