If you want to avoid the pearl shop , you just dont press esc > shop > pearl shop.
Does the in-game marketplace involve IRL money?
So it just involves the game's in-universe money?
Black Spirit adventure is also a thing you can play 3 times a day for a few items. You also get attendance rewards for logging in and you also get to collect your daily silver reward.
Pets? You get 3 from the main story, and 1 for joining a guild.
A fairy can be obtained through the main story.
Mounts can be obtained through the main story as well as in game.
Inventory expansion slots can be obtained through loyalties and through the main story/some side quests.
I'm new to the game as well, but so far the game is pretty accessible and fun.
Just treat it like a casual MMO and play the game however you want to. Grind, lifeskill, etc. Lifeskilling can be done active or AFK and it's a decent source of income if you don't have a lot of time on your hands. It's a way to passively generate income while you're AFK. If you don't like leaving your computer on at night or while you're at work, school, etc. Then you don't have to, your choice.
That's what I'm doing and I'm enjoying it.
For me personally the endgame grind wasn't worth it anymore after 1.5k hours. Wasn't my cup of tea no more.
But here's the million $ question --> many players end up spending more money than anticipated and end up regretting it.
So yeah, if You plan on REALLY grinding the game and trying to enjoy the game fully, You'll spend money sooner or later.
For example, you can get an outfit that reduces cooking time by 2 seconds for $29. 2 seconds might not sound like much but currently it would double what I can cook per hour. That's big. However you CAN get down to the minimum cook time without the outfit. You just need to be a billionare.
The Hedgehog pet (only available from a $35 welcome pack) gives you 30% chance at an additional gather. However I have learned that it only gives base amount. So if you have very high gathering mastery you can gain up to 16 items per gather, whereas the hedgehog can only give you up to the base 4 extra.
Any advantage you can pay for is pay to win. What's more important is how impactful these options are. And like I said originally, it's fairly low impact.
The way I see it, there are many things to do in the game. Once you play for a while and find what you want to do, you can consider buying the related costume to help support the game and get a boost in whatever the activity is. The game was only $10 with no sub so I don't see it as too bad.
