Bicolline Costs Guide
Intro
Bicolline can be a chill hobby if you just drop in for the Grand Battle once a year. A tent, a ticket, some turkey leg feasting, and you're in the story. But oh, sweet summer child, if you want full immersion, expect your wallet to scream. We're talking castle-sized investments, some players literally have mortgages on cabins [if we can still call them that]. Dive in halfway and it's amazing, dive all the way and you're living in a medieval village.

2. Event Fees & Food
