Wow, Paladin skill books are inflating!

I just checked the price for Blast 20, it was 100m+! I got it for 5m.
I guess this is because more Paladins are band wagoning.

# players buying the books greatly outnumbers those actually hunting for them. Most players would rather just smega/buy it for an inflated value in the Fm rather than ever take a step into a map where they could hunt them. And I don't mind leveling speeds for Post-BB, but it's not helping that UE Paladins are like the Cygnus Knight you can get to Lvl 200 now. Many Paladins admit to being the "easy mode" job these days and I wouldn't disagree. xD

Edit: But on a positive note, NL-only books have remained quite stable thanks to our population not growing as fast as others. TT20 jumped up due to Zak not dropping it anymore, but it's only about 20-25 mil on Broa and not that rare in the FM. And TT30, despite being like 135-150 mil, it sure beats when it used to be 300 mil+. xD

The monster that drops them has changed, this has been the case for many skills such as DS 20, SE 20 and such. It's not so much the bandwagoning but more the general supply of the skill that makes the price skyrocket.

They have never been that expensive.

They have always been 60m+, and I've only seen 2 for over 100m... and Paladins get buffed in chaos, SD gets nerfed however.

Well, if they are gonna be nerfed. Won't it affect normal Paladins?

[quote=LeithiaX]yea, I'm so glad I got my blast books for 40/50m [blast 20, one failed D: ] and 10/gift of 10m [ failed one 30 too ~_~ ]. It's sad to think I'm HAPPY to have paid those prices, when if I had stocked up when I first made my page, I would have gotten them for fractions of that.

That's the ONLY reason I don't like bandwagons, everything gets so much more expensive.[/quote]

Yep, I hear ya.
