Economy

The whole thing is out of wack IMO. I won't argue the issue but give you a real live example from my server, you make your own judgement. I'm an adventurer and need a new set of armor. I go to the broker...or your nearest armorer to see whats available. Hmm, Pristine Imbued Fulginate Vanguard looks nice. Price? 85g-1p+.

Fulginate sells on the market for less then a gold each and luminous up to 10g but usually below. You can have the luminous made into extract from your nearest Alchemist for a gold or 2. Thats one heck of a profit and proof of the unbalanced economy. You say that adventurers make plenty of money but I beg to differ with you. No coin drops off the mobs, The quest rewards are usually a paltry sum, though they are trying to fix some of it. Player sellable loot is semi rare and merchant fodder is OK at best. Now unless you have no job and no life, you are lucky to make 3-4g a day adventurering and forget harvesting, its long and tedious for minimal rewards. I'm sure people in bigger guilds have more options and resources available to them but lets face it, the community here isnt the same as EQ1 but thats another topic. The facts prove themselves. As far as the economy goes, its a sellers market...meaning crafters.

Anybody that pays that much for imbued fulginate is an idiot. Crafters will normally charge much less if you bring them the extract and have them make the armor (at least on my server they will).

armorers on our server charge 70g-1p for an imbued ebon combine when YOU SUPPLY the rares and extract, tell me that isnt a joke. A fulginate combine takes the same amount of time but since its a rare they think they have the liberty to skyrocket the price. I will level my own armorsmith to level 50 before I give them 80gold to click a few buttons which takes them 5 minues, or I'll at least wait till a few more people level up their armorsmiths to stop this monopoly, my fulginate chainmail is perfectly fine unitl then believe me.
