[QUOTE="billd91, post: 6035017, member: 3400"] Yes, it really is a bit of both - some things in the initial core were poorly priced (my prime example is rings of protection vs rings of shooting stars - compare with 1e's price list and tell me which you think did a better job) AND too many things in the MIC are too cheap/too good. It was for me as well. After running 3.5 with pretty much unregulated use of the Spell Compendium, I resolved to be a heck of a lot pickier with it. My biggest peeve with the MIC, however, is its utterly abysmal organization. Finding a particular item in it is [b]difficult[/b]. I'm not necessarily a fan of grouping everything by slot because it disrupts the immersiveness of the resource but it's dynamite from a utilitarian point of view. You can find all of the cloaks in one place - in the MIC, by comparison, you've got a bunch under "Cloak of xxx" but you've also got others scattered around depending on the name like "Piercer Cloak". You have to remember if you have a Wink Brooch or a Brooch of Winking - not always that easy to do. [/QUOTE]
