You are absolutely out of your minds this time. The costs are beyond insane.
We are LITERALLY getting all the gold costs, sacred oil costs, pet pod costs, and so on that KR has. Until now, we always had less, for a good reason, KR has INFLATED gold AND oils, they get a LOT more from quests and even oils from daily challenge etc.
A premium transformation stone is over 5k gold on KR, here it's under 500g. This should clearly tell you the gold source difference and inflation. And yet, we get literally the EXACT SAME costs of gold on upgrades. A weapon try to upgrade, with low as hell chance, is over 1k gold???
The soul cost for our region (and pet) is beyond insane. Like seriously 8000 oils on average to max from 0.
We made that gold issue thread before for nothing. Sure, you add some gold sources, but they're still far less than KR, and now we're getting same costs as KR. Amazing.
Oh and want to know something even more funny?
This is the faction NPC exchange in KR (from new faction area because SSP was removed)

So to upgrade a Mythical Unity Stone to Awakened Mythical there, you need 100 faction tokens, 30 sacred vials, and 5 premium transformation stones
For us we need: 150 faction tokens, 150 ethereal vials, 5 premium transformation stones
150 Ethereal Vials are worth A LOT MORE than 30 Sacred Vials, WAAAAAAAAAY more, so in fact not only we get kr costs on accessories, weapon and soul, we also have it FAR FAR worse on unity (and always did), like we're the laughing stock of a region.
When will KR get that west does not like endless grind and paywalls?
This patch is legit the real beginning of the end of BnS in the west. You thought skystealer era was bad in terms of costs, now it becomes at least 5 times worse.
