Flagship costs
The real gold cost per flagship level — and why the most popular guide is three to four times off.
What a flagship level really costs
The most popular guide site has this wrong
Its flagship guide carries two gold tables that contradict each other, and its own FAQ picks the higher one as current. An independent Traditional Chinese source agrees with the lower table at every disputed level. If you are planning against the popular numbers you are saving three to four times more gold than you need.
