currencies and xp troll stuff, ect. in the premium tomes

Mission · April 10

Just curious Is anyone that paid for the premium tomes buying the currencies (outside of trade bars) or the xp/leveling, wayshrine charts, research scrolls etc?
These seem like a waste of a spot in the premium lines and imo should be kept solo in the free lines.
The premium should be all cosmetic stuff that actually makes it feel worth the money

i get the Currencies, but not the consumables

I think it would be interesting at the end of the season to see the numbers of people that actually redeemed any of the scrolls stuff in the premium line. Unless you just have a ton of extra currency with nothing else to spend it on, but at the rate it feels like I am getting it. Not sure there will even be enough to get all the items by the end of the season

I have some alts that may get some use out of the wayshrine charts and research scrolls. It's been ages since I've not had an overabundance of xp scrolls in my bank though.

People have done some math and found that even if you only get/do the Challenges that reward the least amount of Points, you still will earn enough to get everything (I believe this is for both the Free Tome and the Premium version).

Also something to keep in mind is that new players coming into the game won't have stockpiles of the Scrolls like those of who've been around for years have been. Same with the Research Scrolls. And even older players might have characters that don't have a lot of Wayshrines unlocked. Adding more chances to get these items isn't exactly a bad thing, especially since trying to fill up all the Premium slots with only Cosmetics would alienate a lot of players and also be a LOT of work for the devs.

That would be 60 Cosmetics every roughly three months, 240ish every year, that the devs would have to make and that people who don't/can't pay the money for wouldn't be able to get unless stuff from any given Tome gets added to the Bazaar in the future. Even if we halved that number it's still 30 every three months and 120 every year. There's making something worth the money and then there's punishing people for not paying the money.

And because I feel like someone might mention "oh but Crown Crates", you can buy Crate items with Seals and Crown Gems, they aren't only available from paying money every time you want something from any given Crate Season.

The scrolls seem meh right now because we have years of daily login rewards that gave them to us. But with daily login gone, those kind of scrolls will become more valuable for leveling alts as time passes and our stash of scrolls gets depleted.

I still don't see why the scrolls can't just be in the free line it is perfectly sufficient than cluttering the premium line

. There are plenty of cosmetics in the crown store you can't get without real money not just from the crates. What's the difference? Not to mention it is imo it is pretty reasonable to assume at some point. They won't want to make new items all the time for the Bazaar all the time and will probably add seasonal stuff down the road. Just a guess of course, but if I were developing the game it is what I would probably do in thier shoes.
