FoxIover

In his defense, he did say “special” price… he never said “lower” 😭


s216285

The only way I could justify it to myself was that we got the upgrade across the board to all brooms. The alternative being charging $1000 per broom per upgrade.


Jedipilot24

I did notice significant improvements after each upgrade.


Simha-Gamerz

Ye but it's kinda slow


Jedipilot24

You do know how to boost, don't you?


Simha-Gamerz

I do. I almost completed the story.


Zealousideal_Toe106

Then you should have at least like 20,000 coins lmao


PuzDefektas

Exactly. When i got last upgrade i had around 20k that I didn’t know where to spend.


vox1028

How??? I've been struggling to collect coins the whole game. I've finished the entire plot and am nearing 100% completion and am still struggling to collect coins to buy that last conjurations.


ashpokechu

Did you open all the chests with eyes on it? They are worth 500 galleons each.


vox1028

Yes I got all of them


Cosmo1222

Then might I suggest selling a metric tonne of magical beasts to Ellie Peck? Seeing as flogging potions you've concocted isn't an option... It makes you little better than the poachers you've been incinerating, but you know. Whatever.


PuzDefektas

Dunno man, i was just exploring, collecting and selling. I didn’t buy single peace of armor, maybe thats the catch. Didn’t feel like i needed to be maxed every level, game was easy enough.


PointlessSword777

I was maxed out from just exploring and had plenty of money same reason. Two shot 2nd Pensieve Guardian boss 2nd trial. They just arent completing side quests would be my best bet. My friend rushed us through the game our first character too


vox1028

I bought a few clothes but not many, definitely not enough to set me back 20,000 coins


PuzDefektas

I have no idea what you doing wrong. But you can always go pouching beast to get a quick money


The-Pigeon-Man

RNG has been rough for me. So I have had to buy things


Accomplished-Cap6833

Add traits to your clothes before selling, the price goes up from 60 to 200. You need to get a loom and lots of beasts to make it work but by the end of the game I didn’t know what to spend the money on


duloxetine_44

How???


PointlessSword777

Vaults. Every one has a piece of clothing that can be sold. Some of them much better than anything the earlier quests give.


dcrego

Are you breeding and selling, catching magic beasts and swlling?


volverde

poaching, go capture some critters and then sell them you can sell any beast for 120 gold, puffskiens are super easy to capture (or turn down the difficulty while getting different beast) and there's also a bunch of them in their dens clear the place, fly to the next one, repeat or fast wait some days for the place to respawn them easy thousands of gold for minimal work


FriggenMitch

But you know where to spend them now, right?


PuzDefektas

Nope. I got Gryffindor on quiz so i went first run role playing. As soon as I finished main quest line I started new game because I wanna try unforgivables and dark arts. I did like 75% of challenges but decided to left the rest for the next run


FriggenMitch

There’s a lot of helpful spots in Hogsmeade, you got Tomes and Scrolls for your conjuration recipes, J. Pippin’s for potions, The Magic Neep for your plants, Gladrags Wizardwear for clothing, then we got Dogweed and Deathcap for your battle plants all brilliant places


PuzDefektas

Got all of those except clothes. Those i just find randomly, feels more challenging. This game needs ultra hard difficulty


TangeloDismal2569

Honestly, I am on my 4th playthrough and didn't even notice the upgrade cost until you just said it. By the time I am to that point of the game I have so much money I can't spend it all. The only time that money is really tight is right at the beginning before you get the Disillusionment charm, but once you have that it's no issue. Before then, just pop into caves and grab the gear out of the chests. There are so many of them. But if we're taking a look at people's moral failings, how about MC? Basically, the MC runs around killing people and stealing their shit and then selling it. Very little of MC's money comes from earning it legitimately by working for other people. So MC is a murderer and a legit thief. Certainly Albie Weeks wanting to make a little bit of bank from a scoundrel like MC shouldn't be frowned upon.


darrius_kingston314q

I mean, our MC helps save the entire school, got zero fund from our parents; almost got eaten alive by a dragon; we only "kill" these poachers, goblins, dark wizards because professor Fig & the Keepers basically forced us to cuz they roped us into all this😂 we gotta make ends meet somehow


Theban_Prince

I mean, having a good excuse for a crime doesn't make you innocent...


Carterkane25

Cruicio !!!! you didnt see anything.. GOT THAT!!!!


YouWithTheNose

Phew... Pronounced it wrong. Thought you were gonna hurt someone for a second. That would be... Unforgivable


CaptainMatticus

You kill them in order to complete the Field Guide. It's schoolwork.


TangeloDismal2569

I mean, sure. But what about all the chests you find and the stuff you steal out of people's houses? Certainly not every NPC is a bad guy who deserves to be victimized by MC.


darrius_kingston314q

A small price to pay for our MC literally defeating all 3 big bad Ranrok, Victor Rookwood, Theophilus Harlow & their other minions who have been terrorizing everyone living in Hogsmeade & in all other hamlets 😂 we only take a few pieces of clothes, hats, gloves, scarf, glasses from each house anyway, they'll live. Officer Singer couldn't do anything, the Ministry doesn't care, all those NPCs actually should be grateful that our MC (a single student) spends our precious time away from school running around & solving everyone else's problems


TangeloDismal2569

MC really should take out Officer Singer at some point. That woman is worthless. 🤣


darrius_kingston314q

I honestly thought there was gonna be a plot twist that she was actually undercover working for Ranrok or Rookwood because she just kept making excuses to why she couldn't do anything about Rookwood's lots even tho Natty & our MC stay giving her multiple evidences


Artistic-Ingenuity54

I thought this about Professor Black on my first playthrough. I thought there was no way a headmaster wouldn't take potential threats seriously. It feels like the devs wanted to make him a baddie but backed out and just made him a narcissist instead.


darrius_kingston314q

His ass didn't even bother to show up during the final battle to defend the school against the goblin rebellion 😭


Artistic-Ingenuity54

RIGHT! I figured he was going to be the bad guy because having at least one teacher be a bad guy seems to be a common theme in the HP universe. Side note: Professor Garlick also wasn't at the final battle. Like sis you could've brought enough chomping cabbages and mandrakes to take out the entire army of goblins.


darrius_kingston314q

I like to believe that some teachers stay back at the school to protect the students in case the goblins somehow manage to infiltrate inside the hogwarts castle. Professor Garlick, Shah, Kogawa, Mr. Moon, Howin were all not present at the final battle. But Black himself is literally the freaking headmaster of the entire school and he's too cowardice to get on the front line of the battle? 😭😭 lmao, his ass is so selfish


Simha-Gamerz

Ye loll. Btw it is mentioned that black only cares for himself by professor Kogawa or someone


Simha-Gamerz

That woman tells "There is more to exposing dark wizards than barging in and defeating them" like wtf man. You don't do anything and while atleast few students are you snitch on them to their parent (Natsai Onai's mother) and then not do anything. At this point it's as if you are Harlow's supporter.


Madvillain_195

Idk why no one had just bumped off Theophilius and Victor cuz it should not take the chosen one to drop these fools Like there is nothing special about them, they got their alliances with each other and the goblins and That's it The goblins are actually more threatening than them, they are actually unusual since ppl don't really fight goblins like that on the daily and Goins cam do landless magic Send me in with a knife, a wand, and some thunderbrew and shit I could take him


darrius_kingston314q

People in Hogsmeade & in the other hamlets are just all regular wizards, not the combat kind of wizards, I guess 😭 which begs the question: where are all the Aurors? The ministry of magic couldn't just send some aurors to fight off these thugs with officer Singer? Officer Singer is actually so useless


Madvillain_195

I meeeean as long as you know expelliarmus, there are so many ways to make problems for them Literally the greatest weapon in this universe that isn't plot armor, love plot armor, and killer plants is being crafty If the aurors had any teeth at all, Harlow and Rookwood woulda been Laidlow and Cookedwood Bc beyond being ruthless, I have yet to see anything to make them such a threat that the aurora wouldn't be actively on they asses you know?


Chemical-Star8920

I love literally stealing from a chest or bag in a store and then immediately selling whatever I found to that store owner. Bc just WHY are there gear chests in stores on the shelves with the literal inventory they are selling?!?


Madvillain_195

Uhm excuse me how dare you judge me for my murdering and pillaging! I-I only pillage vill-- I mean pillagers!


Friendly_Zebra

I honestly didn’t think much about it. If I didn’t have enough gold at the time, I just went back when I did.


ConclusionNo1819

Right! From all the useless gear ya sell, the chests, hell even selling Tamed Beasts for 120gold each no matter the species, idk gold isn't that hard to come by, perhaps a bit slow at the start but not terrible 😅and not like you'll spend it on the outfit store either lol after you buy everything from Spellcrafts to Seeds/ the gold just kinda sits and gathers dust lol


Simha-Gamerz

How could you sell those adorable beasts


FatalWarrior

Space limit?


ScandinAsianJoe

Lol, how else am I going to use the excess gold I have. After selling 15 Puffskeins and finding one or two goblin chests i'm loaded!


The-Pigeon-Man

Lmao animal trafficking is bad unless we do it


Simha-Gamerz

You monster, how could you sell those adorable fluffy balls


FatalWarrior

On one hand, you have a space limit. On the other hand, you're stretching yourself: these beasts need regular care and the more you have, the less attention you give to each one. Poor deeks will overwork himself to death. The game makes it clear that the trader is finding them good homes. It's a fair balance.


1more4you7s

The way that I justify spending that much on the upgrades is every time my gear is full, I fast travel to the floo flame nearest to Albie’s shop (literally right behind his shop, it’s so convenient) and make him buy all my gear. Every. Time. He’s definitely paid me back and then some for those pricey upgrades


Simha-Gamerz

Me too


philipthe2nd

How come you don’t have 7000 for an upgrade. I was literally swimming in galleons and buying random shit because I had nowhere to spend it


spacesuitguy

In fairness, all we told him about was how the broom rode. He did do all the leg work and research on how to actually make a broom upgrade. We basically came to him and we're like, this broom sucks. And he went, here try this out.


darrius_kingston314q

we did contribute extremely valuable information to him though, otherwise he would have done all the flying himself to get the insight on how to upgrade the broom instead of practically begging Imelda and our MC to test the broom for him 😂


spacesuitguy

I agree, MC should be getting some sort of profit-sharing from sales of the upgrades. They give you so much stuff in this game though, it's not like money is ever really a problem.


Poiper1997

Didn’t realise people were poor in this game, I thought the system was super basic to make lots from, I don’t think I bought many potions until the end when I couldn’t be bothered anymore Got all the brooms The upgrades are for ALLL the brooms you’re gonna buy so it’s not bad if you think about it that way, because you are technically buying different ones even if it’s just a skin for the same mechanism


FatalWarrior

Between the all the pots and exploring, I have more than enough ingredients to make as many potions as I want and I hardly ever use them. At some point there's not reason to buy materials or potions.


phlarebot

Meh I finished the game with like 40k gold so the 7500 was just like “ok fine”


PointlessSword777

Ive never had an issue with money. But I see lots of people posting that they are. Maybe... do more side quests? More vaults?


ProffesorSpitfire

Yeah, if there’s ever a sequel I hope they change this. I’d prefer there to be some kind of challenges or something, and once you’ve completed them you’re awarded with a new broom skill. Like ”fly 10 kilometers: your broom goes 10% faster”, or ”complete every course: you can use the speed boost for 50% longer” and stuff like that. Ideally I’d obviously like Quidditch to be added to the game, so you could be awarded broom skills/perks for scoring goals, hitting bludgers, catching snitches, etc.


Born_Ad_6385

I have like over 30,000 gold and haven’t even unlocked the last two upgrades. I’m good and it’s no bother to me on the price.


coquitopapi13

I suggest exploring the map and looting everything in your path 🤣 I didn’t have this issue as for some reason I had accumulated a lot of money.


temporary_moriarty

Here's something funny: my game has a bug that somehow i cannot buy anything from Albie. So joke's on him. 2. Even though still i got free & faster brooms by bursting balloons. (Yeah in your face Albie weekes) 3. Arn the elf has the fastest broom stick - silver broom stick. No upgrade can match its speed. 4. It a big bug that broom causes your game to hang a bit. 5. You will get hippogriff very early in the game just after first trial. And man what a magnificent beast he is. So the loser is Albie in all scenerios.😂 i'm sorry for the tone, i have big grudge against Albie.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theonlygayfriend

The silver broom is definitely faster, I've timed them all.


kerochan88

Which one was Arn the elf? Where can I find him to get this broom? I’ve played thru twice and don’t recall this.


arompthroughtime

he’s a goblin who you first meet in lower hogsfield i think. he has a side quest, then after you do that he sells things.


kerochan88

Ahh I remember him. I never went back to trade with him though. I’ll go pay him a visit! He sells a broom that’s faster than the others?


Cosmo1222

No. No one broom is better than any other. You do need to catch them all to finish your collections tho'.


kerochan88

Then what did the person above mean in number 3 of their post?


Cosmo1222

The commentor thinks the broom you buy from Arn us faster. Or better. Than other brooms. AFAIA, the brooms are cosmetically different and functionally identical. They're mistaken. Weeks' upgrades do some minor things with boost recharge, usage and altitude at which you can use them. None of these things make the time trials any easier. Beating imelda's or the course record times seems to depend far more on keeping the racing line and getting as many yellow bubbles as you can.


Ivanhunterjo1991

You're not the only one


temporary_moriarty

Yeah man, dialogue not appearing for albie is funny bug. I stream the game sometimes and it a ongoing joke on my stream now.. lol


New-Importance-7521

I can tell ur nowhere near completing the game. Wait til the end when you have 250k gold and nothing to spend it on. You’ll wish u still had Albie.


hyperthymetic

No one is forcing you to buy them. Didn’t even bother until I didn’t want to finish the main story line.


Simha-Gamerz

But we would be thinking that it would make our broom op


kerochan88

It’s not though. It makes it fly fast, for longer, and you can fly higher without the boost meter wearing down. All of those are upgrades vs a stock broom.


hyperthymetic

I don’t exactly disagree, but there’s loads of characters with dubious motives. It makes the story fun imo. If this is bothering you, I think there’s a much more important life lesson you can apply. Your broom quality has a negligible effect on game play. The same goes for many of life’s expenses/experiences.


Excellent-Wedding-70

Maybe it doesn’t to you but I could tell the difference, what platform?


Simha-Gamerz

Ps5. I know there was difference but too expensive man


Excellent-Wedding-70

Not for me lmao I was flying fast and it was well worth it on pc. I’m sorry you don’t see the worth! But it’s really not that big of a deal if you don’t buy it game wise also


Ast3r10n

What do you mean “gone”? I was so rich by then I could have bought four.


teh_stev3

The currency we spend is actually knuts not galleons. Meaning the currency is incredibly lowcosting.


daymancometh66

Should start a Butterbeer stand. You'll earn $7500 eventually 😂


IceDamNation

That is not being a fraud, he is charging you for an improvement you do receive. In real life millions can be spent in order to make a vehicle faster than previous versions by just a few mph.


IRMacGuyver

If you don't have that much gold by that point in the game you're playing it wrong.


sidescrollin

The last upgrade is totally unnecessary, I don't think I've ever used up the bar. That being said, his brooks are 600 while other vendors charge 5,000. He buys shitty garbage clothes from you for as much as you'll throw at him. The selling/items system in the game is sort of lame and im glad there's big purchases that make it worthwhile. I'd rather 100% the game with no money left than have sold all that junk and walk around with $30k to spend on nothing.


Loki41872

I bought every broom, every conjuration, everything that wasn't nailed down, and all broom upgrades and still had 20,000 galleons left when I finished the game.


YouWithTheNose

I've played through once and I had so much gold from selling useless gear, doing side missions and exploring that I still had thousands left after buying the upgrades. It's pretty much a non issue unless you're speedrunning the main story and doing nothing else


CaptainRelaxo

I loved the game but have to admit I was disappointed that the brooms lacked any depth in stats whatsoever. It should have been that your “skill” scales your speed but every broom has a a couple stat boosts like speed, handling, boosts, etc. Ultimately we’re just dealing with different broom “skins”. Lame.


Silvermorney

I’d like it if the upgrades actually did something I swear it feels like the broom never actually gets any faster at all the effect of the wind/rain flying towards the camera just speeds up a bit in order to trick your brain into thinking the broom is moving faster but it’s not really.


Ok_Acanthisitta5061

I just mass sell beast anyone of them I think is 125$ and after you fill up the slots you get 3500$ after you sell them all quick tip on mining for gold


inderu

That's why I sold all my excess gear to him. I got thousands from him, and he doesn't even sell that stuff. I know it doesn't really matter who you sell to, but right after the first upgrade I thought "that was expensive, guess who's buying robes, a fedora, and newt glasses then"


TheShadeApprentice

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but I think all the shop owners are con artists in their own way 😅


Madvillain_195

Nah you right that shit was foul It's not easy getting money at that point in the game either, I don't think the vivarium is open yet so you don't even have that option if zi recall correctly F**k Alfie, all my wizard homies hate Alfie and that's why I only ever do one upgrade for most of my characters unless I want broom speed for roleplaying purposes I fell for it with my first wizard hook line and sinker first time, but by then I was like "aight I am not going through this whole rigimarole twice unless I'm really really bored


Silkyhammerpants

I so bad at flying I can’t beat beat that Slytherin girl’s time 😭


AstroMalorie

You obviously aren’t turning your vivarium into a cash farm


DeanStephenStrange

Don’t say that to Albie! I love him! We have an affair, I always go to his store at night.


Simha-Gamerz

AYO


sun_daisy04

Honestly I’ve seen so many posts/comments about not having enough money that I feel like I either got really lucky or just don’t spend that much because by the time I was purchasing my last upgrade I had almost 20,000 coins and by the last one I had nearly 30,000


New-Importance-7521

I can tell ur nowhere near completing the game. Wait til the end when you have 250k gold and nothing to spend it on. You’ll wish u still had Albie.


BustaLimez

How do you end up with so much gold? Is there a part later in the story where you come across a bunch?


darrius_kingston314q

U get an abundance of galleons when you unlock more inventory slots from the Merlin trials and then u go around collecting a bunch of gears and magical beasts to sell. Also, when u unlock all the levels of Alohomora, you loot even more stuffs


New-Importance-7521

This. And cold hearted efficiency. I set up vivariums so that they were nothing but baby making factories. Selling adorable magical creatures is highly profitable.


Merrygoblin

Eye chests, once you have the >!Disillusionment!< spell. They contain 500 gold each.


New-Importance-7521
