Heck, taken even at face value, the "no market limit" rule means i can find these from a single starving farmer as long as he is willing to part with the barn full of magical components.i am relatively sure even Shard would not agree with the above examples IN HIS GAME. This means he is willing to draw up his own limits for how many vorpal sword component piles the farmer with his vegetable cart has for sale. Me, as far as i can see, those rules are already provided for me. I just need to decide what special cases i want to allow.to each his own.</blockquote>
