Single post in Finding the right balance (HM vs Shiny hunting)

Now that people have mentioned it, the shiny charm rework is a pretty bad deal for established hunters. A Shiny Charm Box used to cost 2000zc, so trading it in for 10 Shiny Charms loses you 500zc in value (Based on the old value). If you trade those in for 50 New Charms, assuming the 75% discount, that'd be 1250gp? That'd be a 1750zc loss. The new system is definitely nice for new players (Though Charm borrowing services was already an easy way for new players to use Charms at a reasonable price while also benefitting older players), but it also pretty much just resets the progress of older players, as it's a huge loss and will be completely irrelevant after less than 2 months of hunting.
