We have reduced the Gem cost on the different tiers above Tier I, so that they are aligned with Shop Tiers costs in Bounty Events. That’s really major for something that’s well hidden. Thanks for the price decrease. ---

Not that major considering the leaderboard is individual, not going by guild. As for guilds, Tier 2 across the board should get everyone all rewards, so no much desire to go higher. Tier 2 used to cost 100, now it’s 90 gems. 🤷‍♂️ ---

> [@cyberkiwi](#): > > Tier 2 used to cost 100, now it’s 90 gems. 🤷‍♂️ That’s still 10 gems saved, I’ll take it. 😀 Anybody have a list of the cost for each shop tier, old and new? ---

The change is welcome, I only wish they will also apply it to ToD. 500 gems (tier 7) for a few forge scrolls is ridiculous. ---

Thank you for the price decrease. Won’t make a huge difference for most players I think, but any savings are better than no savings 🙂 ---

I only buy Tier 4 for these but 90 gems is still nice to use towards pet Daily Deals. Thanks!
