As I was just implementing the first pass of sound in my latest game, I found this particularly interesting.

I previously purchased this:

A "mystery bag" of 4k different sounds for $40.

I used something like 16 sounds in the pack though I might use more. I'm quite happy with that.

I tried some other things - freesound.org has no quality but I imagine you can find a gem in there every so often.

I'm still missing some sounds for magic so I installed fmod and looked for magic sounds in the library. I used a few search terms like 'magic' 'spell', etc but I only turned up some ambient noises and UI/fairydustish stuff. Pretty surprising when they advertise 500k sounds.
