Why does the nutkin minion cost more than a HOUSE?

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.

This more so than anything else really. It's not so much just a matter of supply and demand, but much rather just a matter of nothing else really to spend gil on in this game.

People have a tendency of complaining about the recent gil sinks (personal rooms, personal housing), however do tend to forget that the influx of gil into the game has drastically increased over the last year. Where first you had to struggle to obtain 100k gil as new currency into the market (low gil mob drops, items vendoring to NPC's for next to nill, etc) you can now get a 100k gil as new currency easily. In particular thanks to increased gil drops, challenge logs, etc. Consequently, gil is piling up.

Sure many players would come to claim that they're broke as hell due to marketboard prices and all. But just a small fraction of that gil actually leaves the game. To those players set on selling produce on the market boards the rate of incoming gil is ever increasing. Quickly turning a sum of 5 million gil into little more than pocket change.

And without further gil sinks, this is going to increase only even further. You may think 7 million for a pet is a lot right now. But give it another year and such pets may go for 20 million. Two years, and you may be talking about 50 million. Just your regular insane MMO inflation due to new gil being magically created out of thin air in a much higher rate than it being withdrawn out of the economy again.

That's cute, the last one on Ragnarok sold at 10M. This is madness...
