This one recalls we compared some notes about a bundle and loose set of items once.
Was it the spear enthusiast bundle?
We found what the base rate for each spear was and what the bundle rate was.
The base rates do appear sometimes, if something, such as an armour set, is sold stand alone it is almost never discounted.
Are the base rates fictional?
Yes, but also yes.
We are transacting with funny money for the permission to maybe use pixel arrangements. The prices are made up because none of this can ever have any objective value as it’s purely in game assets licenses.
The only rates that are real are the price of Chrome Coins, and even that can be dodgy. If one buys during a sale one may later be banned for it. So how much is your money (which used to be your time) worth, especially if it impacts your ability to engage in the recreation tour traded it to enhance?
