[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7604113, member: 53980"] I think there are a number of limiting factors. You must consider the demand side of the equation, not just supply. Who has the money to buy all of these suits of armor? The local baron probably isn't interested in paying such a ransom to armor his footmen, and the soldiers almost certainly can't afford it themselves. Sure, there might be the occasional knight or lord, but even if they aren't superstitious about the armor's origins, there aren't going to be hundreds of them lining up at the wizard's door. Then we also have to consider the local powers that be. The local lord may get a bit suspicious at all of this armor the wizard is stockpiling. (It's altogether plausible that the local guilds would be whispering in his ear, encouraging this line of thinking.) It might not be long before a small army pounds down the wizard's door. After all, all that armor and gold could fund a peasant uprising (plus, if all goes well, all that wealth now belongs to the lord). [/QUOTE]
