    I'm cool either way, I just personally think it would populate other areas like dungeons etc more.

    Lots and the answer is... you can buy a runebook bless deed for 250 plat at the rewards vendor if you want to keep it after death

    Or buy a blessed one for 2.5 mil

    or

    Spend 13gp recalling to your favourite quiet bank and keep all your most visited spots in a runebook there and save 2.5 million.

    It would obviously be beneficial to have a charged up runebook immediately upon your person after dying somewhere unfortunate and being rez'd.

    But this is Fel!

    Current system is ok to me but I think 250plat for one blessed runebook is kinda argubly expensive ....that price is something that newbie can never have ..

    Yeah we came in during a bad economy. Houses are like triple the value now. I'm out here in the cold homeless. It's hard out here for a pimp.

    Not true. If you can leave your chars logged in you will be collecting 30 plat per month. So without playing...AT ALL you can afford it in 9 months, and still have 20 plat for something else.
    Not true either. Other than some prime real estate (including fortresses/keeps) all other housing up to large towers sell for little over deed price. I cannot understand where you might get the notion that the economy is "bad" or houses are triple the value. Triple the value of what?

    As long as you're not after a fortress, keep or large tower tell me what you want and I'll find you a spot where you can place it.

    Its a goal to strive toward. Blessing a runebook is not a small thing. Once you buy it, you'll never lose your runebook unless you make a mistake (like putting it into a bag inside your pack or something). How much are you willing to pay for that kind of security? I got mine after playing here for 6 months, and I was so proud of myself. I think the price is appropriate when you consider what you get for it.

    I agree with @Kirby 100%

    It's also one of the reasons I play here, self set goal objectives.

    Get your save on homie and feel like an absolute boss when you get one!

    It's not like you won't have fun making that cheddar!

    Hit me up in PM, let me know what house you're after and I'll find you the spot, you can even come with me, it will be fun dude.

    Runebook are soooooo 2000.

    I keep 80 tunes on me at all times and only mark 3 of them so even when I die I'm an asshole to the guy looting me.

    I remember when I first started playing here and was like "whoa, 250 plat?? I'll never get a runebook..".

    Now I own a PURPLE horse.

    In hindsight, I'm glad for the 250 plat price for a blessed book. It gives you goals to achieve.

    I like how expensive the runebook blessing is. There's actually a runebook market. Same with Etherals. This is one of the first player ran shards where you actually see regular mounts everywhere.

    I keep all my tunes on my phone. I got a lot more than 80, though.
