X days since Pilgrim's Perch key price increase

[Shadowlet]

Checks notes, nothing about a key

So when's that Pilgrim's Perch key price increase getting reverted? It's literally unpurchasable, why is it even in the shop..

[lilgirlcharlotte]

unpurchasable? you kill one boss get 120k vigor lol. you can get 6 keys with 1 boss kill. but ye not on your first playthrough. but your not supposed to buy it on first playthrough. It was in the older patch notes btw. they changed it because they didnt want new players ending up in high lvl areas not ment for them.

the key open a shortcut trought the game that allow player to go in area not designed for their level at the moment where they reach the door to open.

If you really want that bad the key , knowing that you do not belong in thoses area , farm , buy it and go , or just continue to play the game and the key will come for free when the time is right.

I feel ya, I dont like being micromanaged how I choose to play either.
Devs shoulda left it alone but they have this sick obsession with forcing their 'vision' on everyone else..
If I wanna go head on at level 1 to the hardest area straight from jump in an arpg, thats my choice, price increase is just another obnoxious pointless tedious decision

Huh? Not exactly a feat to save 18,000 vigor.

Price increase doesn't solve this issue at all. Vigor isn't hard to farm to begin with. It makes like 5-10 minutes of farming into 15 minutes. Solves nothing. If they wanted to make the key less accessible, changing the price isn't the solution. Just leave the thing alone. If people wanna jump to the more difficult zone and enjoy the only "skip" that exists then let them. Yes, it made me feel like the difficulty scaling of the game was ridiculous and sadistic but I will admit that was my fault attempting it. Revert the key change. Nothing will stop me from farming forever as early as Pilgrim's Perch effortlessly.

It was dumb to raise the price. So what if people go into an area with harder enemies. Maybe they want to go where there are harder enemies.

But no we got casuals complaining they went into an area that was kicking their ass that they needed to pour salt on the developers computers.

[Limp Squirrel]

The key price increase was justified imo. I reckon too many people went to look for the throwing hammers that absolutely trivialized the actual intended content for that level character. A price increase doesn't prevent you from buying it, people can still just farm for it.

For most players, a high price will be a turn off to invest Vigor to buy it until they naturally reach the stage in the game where it becomes affordable.

TLDR: Not really an issue.

You are supposed to buy it on your first playthrough, in order to progress to the Hallowed Manse you need to go through the primary door it unlocks. Now 18k isn't really that hard to get by the time you're at level to proceed through there so OP is overreacting hardcore imo though I would've preferred a lower price myself cuz I wanna make the death run for some gear but you my friend said something dumber than the OP.

nope , no one ask/forces/tells you to buy it.

when you are supposed to be in that area , the key will be yours , in the same spot where the vendor stands.

The price is pretty irrelevant. Increasing it doesn't tell newbies that they shouldn't buy it or that they need to wait to get it. Plenty of similar games have keys you get from vendors to access shortcuts or optional areas, which is what I assumed it was for when I first played, so I bought and used it. I wasn't upset with the results. If they want to prevent players for skipping around in zones, they should have removed it from the store, and I think they would have if that was the intent.

from patch v1.1.231 (october 24) :

"We've increased the Pilgrim's Perch key buy price from 9500 to 18000, as we noticed that some early-game players were attempting to grind for it, only to discover they didn't have the appropriate level for the area."

[Turd Cutter]

umm its not that much

[r.kohout]

after you reach a state in game - not sure which state - i enter Fief of the Chill Curse - beat the boss first boss - to the first vestige in this area -then i collect 18000 because i want buy the key. I return to skyrest to buy the key - the npc with key was gone and there was item to pick up with the key for free
