The Black Market of Pirate101

The super cute squid who sells the cool Black Market items

Every tentacle is a vendor. I don't know how the Squid can multi-task like that. He must be a genius.

Nice beard and mustache for a girl, eh?

So there's a brand new Black Market in Pirate101 and with that, we got a new currency - Scrips! You can earn Scrips from an Smuggler's Arena which is bought from the Crown Shop for 7,500 crowns and/or by battling ships and turrets.

The best way to earn scrips is to battle turrets since they drop scrips every time from approximately 1 to 12 scrip per time. Ships drop it randomly, so sometimes you will get it, sometimes not. The smuggler's arena is guaranteed. Even if you win the first battle and not advance, you win scrips. My first battle I did, I earned 8 scrips and you can do the Arena every 2 hours.

The Smuggler's Arena

My question to you is do you think the following prices for the Black Market items are way too high? After all, every turret battle you do receive an average of 5 tickets.

Every battle takes approx 5 minutes for a max level. So in a hour, you can do 12 battles per hour. So a hour of 12 battles would total up to 60 scrips. Every day, if you farm 6 hours for scrips, you would earn 360 scrips per day.

6 hours every day for a week would earn 2520 scrips. So the Captain's Quarters: Pirate King Retreat that costs 75,000 scrips would take you almost 30 weeks which translates into 7 and half months.

That's just by battling turrets alone without buying the Smuggler's Arena.

My main question is - Can you really farm 7 and half months for the Captain's Quarters: Pirate King Retreat? Do you think it's too much? Remember the majority of the people in this country do have work, school, time limits, irl issues, etc. So for those people it would be much much longer than 7 and half months.

I have listed all of the furniture details below, so you can see what you would like and figure out how much scrips you would need and how long it would take you. Let me know if you think any of those scrip prices needs to be lowered or not. Even the simple Room Divider End Cap that costs 250 scrips would take you 4,3 hours of turret farming.
