Expansions/investments required
Just putting a summary here. ShibuyaCloth's numbers say opening these 10 plots will require a total of
- 4,050,000 coins
- 38 Wisp Lanterns
- 22 Windchaser Lanterns (each is 4 Skyhawk Feather, 6 Cloud Stone, 10 Wisp Lantern each) (total 88 feathers, 132 cloud stones, 220 wisp lanterns)
- 16 Expansion Permits
- 2 Windchaser Permits (each is 5 Seal of the Dark Elf, 5 Expansion Permits, 8 Cloud Stone) (10 seals, 10 permits, 16 cloud stones)
adding multiples
220+38 = 258 wisp lanterns
16+10 = 26 expansion permits x 30 trade tickets each = 780 trade tickets
132+16 = 148 cloud stones
That should keep us busy. :-D
I have less than 3 million and while pursuing other extended quests I will be unable to do this storyline for a long time. And apparently collecting just 10 wind stones for the questline takes a nightmarish number of futile tries. In addition to S8 tweaking the skyhawk spawn rates to get 88 feathers for expansions alone. People without alicorn armies are going to be working this for months or a year, along with other recent lengthy new storylines that we're still chipping at (Academy and Elemental, plus Marshlands for me)
