Conclusion:
With a dangerous and distinct appearance Sandscourge Skarner is a traditional but attractive adaptation of the Crystal Vanguard. In spite of only offering model changes it’s a skin that suits and effectively takes advantage of Skarner’s nature. Nowadays it can seem a bit expensive for just model changes but, if you like the idea of a lethal, red scorpion, then this is a good choice.
Incorporating a technological aspect, Battlecast Vel’Koz finely transforms the Eye of the Void into a machine of destruction. The model might seem unassuming at a glance but when in motion the spectacle certainly catches the eye. The price is high but the skin is well done so if you like sci-fi the sale is the best time to catch this cephalopod.
Simple but eloquent, Prestigious LeBlanc gives her some new clothes and changes the Deceiver into an illusionist; not much of a difference actually. However, the elegant clothes are charming and suit her nicely. The essence of LeBlanc remains but seen from a different angle. All in all, if you are a fan of the Deceiver, this is a cheap and satisfying skin.

Conclusion:
To save IP this week, it’s better to stand behind the protection of the Titan of the Depths; though Nautilus would ask for a fair bit of RP. As an exile, Riven knows the importance of saving money so while she can help conserve a good amount of IP some may want to farm it to avoid the, not small, expense. Finally, being more comfortable in the wild, Nidalee doesn’t care much for economy: her IP price is reasonable enough so there isn’t a big reason to spend RP.
Even though it’s still too early for Warden discounts Nautilus hasn’t been idle this year. In January Abyssal trips were on sale for all who enjoy the mysteries of the depths. Not far from that, stellar travels by AstroNautilus also received a price reduction in December. For Subterranean adventures we have to go as far down as June; though that makes a return more plausible than his other options.
This year has proven quite busy for Riven. Not long ago she visited sales in her Redemeed form; this March in fact. She probably feels more comfortable than she was in February as a Crimson Elite; though she still likes the ideals. In the meantime, she won’t ignore her job as a Battle Bunny. The October sale proved that it’s a good source of revenue and sometimes one has to take victories where one can get them.
While we are far from the Warring Kingdoms still, Nidalee has recently offered discounted fees for the Headhunter club. That aside, she hasn’t been very active in sales; though in December she visited as a Pharaoh. Soon, we should gather to celebrate the year anniversary of her French Maid services away from sales; since April 2014. Perhaps being a Headhunter is quite demanding, even for an expert of the wilds.
