Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
Hi...I just want to make sure I understand this. The "Build Your Own Dungeon" allows you to, for the low low price of $10, to pick and mix any of the dungeons you want?
Thanks in advance if you can clarify this for me.

Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
Correct. Though if I am understanding the pledge levels correctly, you really only want to do this if you don't want to get Zaltar's because that would be the Dungeon Level I and then you could mix and match other rooms/add-ons from there without having to pay the $10.
Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
I believe a good many people are simply using it as a place-holder for now. A Garga454 mentions moving up to Zaltar's is the equivalent of going to Dungeon Level 1 which gets you pieces AND shipping without that additional $10 charge.

Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
Point(s) well taken but the reason I'm considering my own "build" is because the first dungeon I'm really interested in is the 6th one, Acid Bath. And I really want Lava Bridge (#13) so I'd add a couple more then an add-on or two, and bingo, I get the ones I want. Is there any reason to avoid this strategy?
Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
Not that I can think of. Will be a lot cheaper and if you are not interested in the earlier stuff then no reason to grab them.
Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
$10 gets your foot in the door. Another $72 or $109 gets you firmly in the door with something to show for it. Of course if your target is the Lava Bridge which is $665/$949 then you're just looking at the fractions.
Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
Overall budget is the driving force. While cost per piece (which is really a bad way to compare) may be lower in the large pledge levels they can easily put one over budget. If you can get a reasonable approximation of what you want through byod and stay in budget... the answer looks pretty obvious to me. So no. No real drawbacks.
Re: Dumb Question Time: Build Your Own Dungeon
I have piles of KS1/2, so looking at something similar to above - Lava Bridge for sure and add-ons galore. Just debating between L1 or L2 for core of alcove style tiles.FattyLumpkin wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 1:08 pm Point(s) well taken but the reason I'm considering my own "build" is because the first dungeon I'm really interested in is the 6th one, Acid Bath.

Here is a pledge planner spreadsheet that could help if you decide to try comparing a couple of possible purchases:
