Books books books!

School\'s not out yet, better get to reading! The Crystal Shop has brought back some vintage favorites.

What good timing, because it looks like there have been tiers added for the Book Worm achievements!

The Book Nook seems to have gotten in updated dust jackets for some of their most popular classics.

@ABEL - sorry historically speaking if inflation goes up at such a rate economics does not work.

glad we got some new acheivements for reading :)

would be nice if we get a few more new ones for feeding our pets too *hint* winks :)

The prices for the Books have sky rocketed, this is not just inflation it is robbery. Books that sold for 350 crystals and less now selling for 1,500 and 2,000 crystals - give me a break - this is wrong.

Separatist @

The prices o.o
I think the crystals i have are a saving from a year, i only fragmentize quest items ;P Just try to never pay sp to fragmentize items.
Nice updates on the Book Nook <3

Really hope this means a RD is on the horizon, it's my fave event.

Woodland @

Reading drive seems to be every 2 summers....so we should be having one this summer, and last I recall they released some new books before the last one as well, so this post doesn't surprise me at all, I was expecting it. XD

0

Sayonara_Baby @

Quite sure a Reading Drive is coming up, a friend said they saw a post by Keith not long ago saying there would be one but that it would work differently this time.

0

Metaphor @

I like reading drives because I love all the literary-themed items, and there's usually always at least two that fit in Allegory's TC. But I agree that the format of them could use some reworking.

0

Ewok @

I don't think a reading drive is coming. I think this is a reaction on the more achievements thing.
There was a pretty high demand for a higher book achievement tier :)

Marine @

... boooooks~ *u*
This makes me and my Glacier Mahar both very, very happy. (She's almost to a TC with 500/500, too. Just a few more books for her stash..!) Reading drive or not, this is awesome ahaha. <3

I think I'm looking at it too hard, but I just noticed that the style of the ledger and the description reminds me of Firefly. :P

Oh wow, is there a Reading Drive on the horizon?

i can't even be coy pls give us an rd i beg of you

Ariel @

Trying to find the happy medium between not completely deflating prices while still giving people the opportunity to get these if they need them. I was kinda testing it out last night and I made about 300 crystals in maybe 15-20 minutes (buying items from shops), so while it's some work, it's not paying 40 mil for one book!

0

Julie @

I love the updates on the books. Great job. Keep it up.
I agree, kinda pricey for the books in the crystal shop... I might pass on them. I have 2 out of 4 in my gallery.
Yay for new achievement tiers.

I spent all my crystals yesterday x_x
Now the Ledger price is going to drop a bit. Lucky for people who really want it, I guess.

Sayonara_Baby @

The Books in the Crystal have gone way up in price - a bit ridiculous I think.

Ninja @

5 new achievements and a new book. 8D Yay!

0

Ariel @

Can you guys try buying the Malticorn again? I think it's because an old version of it was stocked still (0, of course.) I deleted that one so hopefully it's working now!

0

Satyr @

woke up to 3 new achievements. very pleased :)

0

Darkrai @

Goddamn those are expensive x_O Guess I'll wait until I get to that point to worry about them. Morente still has a lot of books to go before I need the expensive ones.

Sharl @

Do I sense an oncoming Book Drive? I hope I hope I hope~

Me-Guru @

jersey, I was able to purchase other books as well. Even when searching it, it says "Crystal Shop (not available right now!)" Maybe it's something they're working on ~ ^.^ ~

Illyria @

You have 5,216 crystals in your bank.

NO THANKS!

Ty for all the new achievements tho! :D

jersey @

Having the same trouble Me-Guru
Keeps saying Diary of a Bloodred Malticorn is sold out when it isn't.

Plus everything in the shop is in a different place when I return to the shop/refresh.

I did buy one of the other books with no trouble

0

Me-Guru @

Is there a problem with purchasing items in the shop? I'm trying to purchase a Diary of a Bloodred Malticorn, however it says it is out of stock. I do see 100 in the shop though ~ ^.^ ~

rhino_loupe @

Ohhhh my that's a lot of crystals. Tempted...

StrawberryRamen @

Silverfish @

Baw. If books suddenly go up now... :P
I have a few more to buy to fatten up my RD stash! Though with all the masq and vesnali ones I've probably hit 500 already...crawling toward 600...

Sunny @

Why must the crystal shop tempt me with such awesome books when I'm saving for that discount coupon? :S
But yay for updated book art! C:

It is for me, too, Jessica! I just had to tease all the suckers still behind the books, poor things! :P

I have to admit I'm glad that this isn't going to affect the price of my Ledger too much, and I almost considered putting it up for sale just yesterday...

those crystal books are damn pricey. So awesome there's a bunch of new tiers for the books, though!

too expensive X__x

0

Muerte @

FUCK ME, I kept forgetting to get more crystals. -.-
This is going to make getting more books even more hard, seeing as none of the ones I need are below 500k (IF that). But at least I was able to get up to the 900 read achievement.
The updated books look simply amazing !

Ouch! A book for 1/3 the price of a Shinwas Temple Shard seems rather steep to me!
