Pilgrims Perch Key Inflation?

I saw a video where the Key was 9K but it cost me 18K

Yea, the devs decided they didnt want people grinding for it and going there 'before they were ready' ... ..

Recommend ignoring the key if this is your first playthrough. IMO it ruined my gaming experience because I skipped most of the intended early game, thinking wow, this game is hard and I love it. Only to find out that I didn't fight most of the bosses I was suppose to fight first and the early game areas ended up becoming far too easy.

As far as the key left by Stomund, it's a part of his quest and triggered by game progression. You don't actually have to buy the key as you will eventually get it.

Will eventually start speedrunning this game with some NG characters at some point. No worries if this is in line with your playstyle. Some of my friends like being OP. IMO it's kind of a problem because you fail to learn the game's mechanics when you're OP. Things die too fast.

One example: I didn't know until yesterday that if you dodge forward or roll into Lucent Beam being cast on you that it staggers the enemy using it on you. Doesn't even matter how far aware from the enemy you are when you do this. So it can't 1-Shot you with that spell. I probably wouldn't have known this if I wasn't just running around and seeing how long I could live without attacking anything yesterday.

I got my Scroll but didn't bother with the Bosses

the perch key area is kinda a lvl 80 zone or something they dont want low lvl players going there and getting wrecked. the current costs they think it should prevent players from buying it early in first playthrough. there is actualy no reason to buy it in first playthrough anyway youll get it for free by the time your ready anyway. For ng+ its best to buy early it saves you time as you dont have to back track.

If you buy it early, you can rush the eye of loash.
