Whats the Cost of Crawling... Does More Expensive = More Drops???

[Neyvn]

Hi there, first post here (Insert exclamation of love for game here), but there has been something bugging me for a while...
I have been trying to see whats going on with the Price of Crawling and if it affects my drop rate, treasure gain or if I just have been ripped off or something, for I have noticed that the Price has been something like my entire amount of Pix if it was under 1450 with a Lv15 Louie, I would understand that there is a cost to get there, but if I don't have the 1450 to begin with, does it affect the drops in some way or not???

So far I have had nothing to back up my thoughts at all, so I am just asking someone who has had a heap of experience with the game itself to just clarify my thoughts...

I have yet to try it much, but I kinda figured it'd be on a per-dungeon per-Adventurer fee.
Better Dungeons/adventurers cost more, is how it should be imo.

Havn't tested how it REALLY is though...

The cost to hire an adventurer is based solely on his or her level. Each adventurer has a base price which is then scaled up to their level. Some of them will cut their rate for you if you're really broke (Louie will do this, and will even work for you if you have no money) and at higher merchant levels you gain a passive ability that provides a discount to all adventurer fees.

That explains it then, Was wondering why I was able to dive straight into Jade Crawl after finishing the Trials. Cause I always ended up with no Pix after that and well, it was confusing me...

Don't worry, you were simply abusing your friendship for fun and profit.
