[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5293285, member: 78116"] I love the new model as well. I love it because it makes perfect sense. Why fund an expedition to Xen'drik for a +5 weapon that anyone can make? But there are more than enough individuals willing to pay for something that [I]cannot be got any other way[/I]. That bears repeating. With the change to items, a rare item is something nobody sees often and is genuinely difficult to get. Hence, merchants, nobles, individuals with a bent for more power and similar will want it.
