I'm posting here first instead of bugs... in case I am crazy....

I had 80,169 silver.. hired a mammal and a bird catcher and now I only have 79,969... Meaning I was deducted silver.... 200 silver...

However I thought I already hired these guys, because it says I have them in X amount of quantity.

ARRR I can't fix this formatting, even in HTML. Somehow my text got put into a table...

From the last news: The price of hiring a catcher is raised to 200

I saw that... But I already purchased the catchers prior to the update... So shouldn't they already be in my service if I already paid? I realize the price went up.

No, you have to pay to obtain the catcher and you have to pay to send them on an expedition also.

So yes, 200 to have them in your "inventory" but since you already had them, it only costs the 100 per catcher to "send" them. Think of it like, the 200 is a retainer to keep them in your service in between work, and then the 100 per trip is like cost of wages and paying for their travel expenses.

These guys are like lawyers huh....

Ahhh well, I didn't see that expressed anywhere, maybe I just missed it.. Thank you!

These guys are like lawyers huh....

Haha, yeah! Lawyers that throw wild pets into servitude for getting caught! XD

No but really, it isn't 100% clear unless you pay close attention during the tutorial. In any case I feel like the 100 coin cost is miniscule as long as you have the cartographer's guild and know where the pets are going to go. If you're just sending out random catchers it does add up but then you're probably better off throwing out observers everywhere until you know where a pet is going to show up.
