<DIV>please change their discription from legendary to uncommon or somthing, the current description of legendary is verry misleading to new players. Ive seen people who get one of those glowing stones and think its going to sell for 18 - 24 gold like silver clusters on grob, then they whine and complain when they find its worth a gold or less. its just a simple text fix that will save allot of newbies frustration. besides somthin u can get out of 1/100 harvests like the glowing stone shouldnt be labled the same as somthing that takes like 1/1000 harvests like the silver cluster.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>on a side note increasing the drop rate of silver clusters, coral ect... with that fix a few weeks ago actually seems to have raised the price of the rares on grob server. before fix they sold for 15g - 18g now they go for 18g -24g and some times the rediculous price of 30+ gold. AND PEOPLE PAY THAT MUCH, because they sell kind of fast!. how can the average joe afford that kind of coin???</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ignore that last paragraph if u want thats just me flaming, but i am verry serious about my primary point. please change the label on uncommon harvestables, thank you <img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Those prices are not meant for "new" players, but more aimed at netting gold from high level players' Alts. I used to think the prices were sickenly high as well till I found out who was reallly buying them. <div></div>

<P>Granted the description being screwed up probably isnt verry high on the devs list of things to fix, and for that i cant really blame them ( they do have more important things to be doing, like fixing conj fire and air pets usefulness ) however I would still like to see if fixed ..... eventually.</P> <P>As far as the whole rarity of the rares things goes, people just charge too much for the rares they find. I would sell my rares cheaper if i diddnt know some savy shopper wouldnt buy them up and sell them at the going market price. As it stands now i just waite to see people in the newbie zones who "arent twinked" struggling to make their way in the world, and if i like what i see, i some times (rarely) offer to make them up and adept 3 spell for what ever they can afford at the time. I just wish more people would stop being greedy and offer a price that is fair for new players of the same tier.</P> <p>Message Edited by Iggmarr on <span class=date_text>04-07-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:52 PM</span>

<P>I agree with the request to change the label to differentiate Rares from Uncommon.  But it's not THAT much of a problem.  Newbie or not, everyone needs to learn what things are and what they are used for in this game.  It's real easy to ask people questions on-line or do a little research off-line.</P> <P> </P> <P>On the continual whining about the cost of goods - GET A CLUE!  It's supply and demand.  If it costs too much for you to buy then go out and harvest it yourself!!!   I refuse to pay the current price for a Fir needed for the Axe from the Past Heritage quest - so I spend a bit of my adventuring time harvesting and hoping to find one.  In doing so I have found 6 Uncommons and 1 Rare, that if I chose to can sell to buy the Fir.  Most of my spells are at adept 1 or app 4 level because I shop the brokers carefully and don't pay more than what I think they are worth.  Only one of my spells (the most important) is at adept 3, and it took everything I had at the time to buy it (and has been worth it).</P> <P>Also - i've had several people ask to buy things from me for a bit of a discount off the posted price and if they are polite about it I usually help them out - took 2g off a rare adept 1 book for a fellow cleric yesterday.  Try that, it might work.  Or maybe offer a trade of a similar level adept book you get in a drop for the one they are selling.</P> <P>Be an ANT  not a GRASSHOPPER and go out and EARN those things you want or just do without.  NOBODY "deserves" a rare or adept 3.   The current system IS fair.  </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>Not everyone will get Adept 3's. Hence them being rare. Can I please have something that someone else doesn't have because I earned it and they didn't? Please?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>*By the way, earning in the raiding sense or buying it from earned coin. If you harvest it, you got lucky, which is rare, which is good.
