Each paper cost 500g.
And all your skills require MULTIPLE papers.
You can easily spend 15,000 gold in 1 minute while fighting, and the damage is not high enough to justify this.
And their weight doesn’t let you carry many.
The paper cost really needs to be lowered. It is not possible for Taoist to keep up with other R8 classes without spend massive amounts of gold.
And even with that Taoist may not even keep up with other classes.
Taoist, by itself (no Kirvis) is far too expensive for the damage it does.
