Some of you have noticed that PayPal hasn't been automatically sending out silver stars for a while. After several tries at fixing that (and a couple items getting delayed because it seemed like it should be really easy to fix), I've had to take a step back from ...

There are several items in Nocturne's Shop which the wiki says are unlocked by completing a run with 10+ mettle, no pulls and a Futility Belt. (Silver minimum) There are two questions I have about this: 1) What does it mean by "silver minimum?" 2) Will I have to assemble the Futility ...

Purchasing Golden Gust crown:

For 10 silver stars, you golden crown! Such a good deal! The shopkeeper tries to fill you in on its backstory, but it's very shiny.

But at least the "its" and "it's" are correct!

Fixed that up, you golden crown, you.

I agree with everyone else here - being able to buy from the WoK from stars in deep storage would be ideal for balance but difficult to code. It'd end up with completely rewriting the wok and the donation code. Because, as it stands right now, the stars from donations go directly to inventory. Pers...

Cristiona

I dunno about this.

Imagine a competitive heirloom run where one person also pulls two gold stars. It's a pretty huge boost. I get wanting to be able to spend at the Wok, but I worry about the skewing effect on the Derby.

... donate for them in-run effectively makes them free pulls already, so it shouldn't cause any problems. It does feel weird, though. In any case, the silver and gold star are now flagged as free pulls. Cheers! Kinak

Isladar

I agree that there is an argument both ways. On the one hand it is a nice bonus, but in any non-no-pull run you can always buy and equip them if you so desire. If I hadn't just made my monthly donation, this is what I would have done, and thought nothing more of it. I like the idea of spending from ...

Harry Dresden

That's a tough one. They give a pretty decent buff for people in no pull or very limited pull runs, but at the same time I've felt the frustration of being in a restricted run, wanting to buy something at the Wok, and not being able to because my stars were in storage. Kinak might be able to fix the...
