So, my server was discussing this and we figured the god bases (Anubis, Seth and Bast) were a bit costly for how much event beetles are dropped. |

Support. I don't think the bases should be so affordable that they flood the market, but I think even 350KB would be more achievable than 500KB and still leave a little bit leftover to get a couple of the other GORGEOUS decors from this event. For me personally, being a Gilded breeder and an Egyptian-themed den here on my main, I was hoping to get at least one copy of the old Bast base plus a couple of the new items. At 500KB for the base, I actually think that may end up being the ONLY thing I'd afford this year, which would be a shame lol. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Hi everyone! I thought this month applicators were common because I got my bast base applicator for 9gb in April and if the apps were rare there would be none for sale that low right? Trophy base was my first choice but that was like 60gb and now I know that one actually is rare O-O Can it not be over 250kb so there is a chance to get all three base applicators if I use roasted lambs and explore a lot? I don't think its fair this month because I even when i joined in February I still afforded some applicators from only one week of playing! 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Cowardly One of the reasons I think they're keeping the price up a bit on the old bases is because they were originally awarded as the storyline reward last year, so you only got the ONE base app per account associated with whichever god you chose to finish the story with. The reason I'd love them to lower the current price only slightly is because I'd love to still see them keep that somewhat rarity but allow for a little bit leftover to afford some of the decor: since the base apps were essentially "free" last year, the KB was used only for shop decor and such so I feel like the drop rate was pretty balanced. 0 players like this post!

Basically the reason for this post was everything in this month is very cheap, BGs being 40 KBs. Then suddenly you're slammed with 500 KBs for the base apps. The drop rate is 2 KBs per battle. You only get +10 KBs for quests. That's minimum of 300 KBs just doing quests. You also get some from the battles to complete the quests, but not all the tasks are for snakes. I explain this better on the main post. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Roxanne Yep I totally agree as far as the drop rate vs. the cost, which is why I 100% support the idea of lowering it a bit. I'm just leery of the price drop being too drastic to the point where the original bases lose their relative rarity, that's all! I think 300KB-350KB might be a decent compromise. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Of course I don't think it should be as low as people might really want it to be xD 300-350 KBs was my original thought. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Hi Jassy! No offence but I don't get the point of making something so rare you can only get one unless it is a story reward. Like how trophy was so hard to get for no reason and it's hard to breed too. Even though I entered 10 tournaments a day and kept one of my lions at the lowest stats in his bracket I only barely got 1 by buying tail tufts! I think I might get 2 x 250kb if i am lucky, but if the applicators are 350kb each then i still might only be able to get one. Even if its 250kb and i'm online a lot and use roasted lambs I would only be able to get one of each applicator and no decorations and I think thats fair. The new ones from the story lines will be way cheaper than the old ones at this rate lol 0 players like this post! Like? |

I just want to point out the whole point of this post was not anything due to rarity of the applicator. Last year it was a storyline app, now it's a purchasable one in the shop, so that already drops it anyways. The point of this was the cost vs drop rate of the KBs basically. It's hard to justify something being so costly when the drop rate is only 2 MBs per battle. You lose -10 energy so that's only 20 MBs per energy bar on a good day. I highly you'll get that every time either. I'm only finding maybe 3-5 snakes max on a full bar of energy. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Losing doesn't give any currency drops either, so unless you win every single snake battle there's another disadvantage when it comes to saving up for the base apps. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@R I completely agree, especially considering that the battles are based more on luck than any actual skill or stats. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I really thought the price of the bases was a typo, and expected to see them readjusted on day 1, but nope. So definitely support a price drop 0 players like this post! Like? |

I totally agree! Firstly, I am struggling to get KB in the first place. I lose about half of my battles with the slithers, so I don't get many KB from there. PLUS, some of the daily quests are extremely difficult! Winning 20 battles in one day is super difficult when I'm losing half of them, as well as trying to study for exams so can't be online all day. I've only succeeded in passing the daily quest once so far, so I am sitting at 60KB at the moment. So, I may end up with enough for a base, but I won't have enough to get any decors etc, which kind of sucks. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Even though I am managing fairly well at getting KB from snakes (thank god for decent stats), and I had 400KB left over from last year, I support this idea of lowering the cost of the base to between 250-350KB instead of 500KB. As I've stated, I've already managed to get Bast's base and have got 200KB already for Anubis' base between both accounts, but I'm a bored uni student who doesnt have anything to do with her life right now - hence the support for this <3 Good luck to all in their snake battles and I hope you get what you want from the shops in the end <3 0 players like this post!

Agreed! 300-350KB would be far fairer of a price. The 500KB is just insane, I understand not wanting to flood the market but holy crap! Even at 300-350KB people on every day completing every daily request won't be able to get an unfair amount. Add in that people will still buy decor and backgrounds. At this point it's looking like you either get some decor/backgrounds or if you're lucky one base app. Last month's event, for example, had a much more reasonably priced base along with lion scrotums. Neither has flooded the market, they were both high but not unreasonably high. 0 players like this post! Like? |
