The problem is is quite different, actually. The reason why everything is so expensive is because only a few percentage points of the wares actually available are ever display at any one time, due to the dumb trade/sale system that requires you to keep your char logged in and idle to be able to sell squat.If the *entire* market was more transparent and available, prices would go down. More vendors - more competition. Two vendors online when I checked before for Maple Quills, a prime component for t2 scrolls. Both cost almost 10sp for the pristine editions (which is really needed if you're making at least app3). Similar prices for other compents (ink, paper) due to simple lack of supply. If I, as a scribe, can make those items myself, I will be able to sell at a much lower price. This provides more supply of wares into the economy, which, again, will drive down prices in general. When prices of player-made products go down, so will NPC wares such as horses, at least over time.

The only pristine you need to make App4 spell scrolls is the ink. All else can be crude. Save your money.
