Why does the nutkin minion cost more than a HOUSE?

[Doki]

I mean... I understand the importance of having rare desirable items in a game, but it seems like a bit much when it appears to cost more than a small freaking house on most servers. The last few on Excalibur have sold for 7 million+ and it seems to be the same on other servers.

I get the reason for it's current cost/value, this is more a question to why the devs would make it quite so rare. It does sort of feel like the other map minions, and the opo in brayflox are way more rare than necessary for vanity/cute items that serve no purpose other than to be cute.

I mean... I *could* continue to grind and buy one since I sort of want to own them all, but it's getting pretty ridiculous when it comes to minions. If I lot under 10 on the ST minion one more time.... /tableflip.

Supply and demand I guess. If it's an item that has a very low drop rate/is difficult to gain, and is highly desired, of course the price is going to be ridiculously high. That's consumerism for you.

The rest of your statement proves this claim to be false.

It's a rare drop off a rare drop off an item you can only get every 18 hours/character.

Mapception!! or Raredropception!!! That being said, as an owner of a Nutkin (still looking for a rich home) those things are a witch to sell.

Map double mooch!!

I'm surprised the price is so high for so many servers. I'm on Balmung (legacy) and the price seems to hover between 2.5M and 4M. Still ridiculous imo, but half what other servers are selling for X_X

Wait, so they're actually listing for over 4 mil? And they're selling? I mean, I like pets and all, but dang.

I get that they're rare (it's RNG inside RNG so you can grind while you grind), but that's absurd.

Yeah, they sell for over 7m on Excalibur last I checked.

Some people have a lot of money and there's really nothing to do with it at the moment. Might as well buy adorable minions.
