Title really says it all. 45-55k is easily manageable for anyone past level 50 or anyone who has access to Halfang, but I've seen my share of stories saying they want that Kookaburra or Gloomy Eye pet but keep getting their bloodbat. While yes it's frustrating to get your own pet back a bunch of times in a row, the main issue is the gold. It's very hard for lower level wizards to re-hatch pets. Even on my 104 myth I struggled a fair bit in Khrysalis before I finished it to have gold for even a potion refill. 20-25k seems far more reasonable anyway.
