Its funny to see this on a CLERICAL HELP list first off....secondly....why
cant you go and BUY the item from the lower levels then? Granted, you cant
do this with all of the lower levels....but do you know how often I've had
higher levels come in without as many principles as most of you? Why dont
you start bitching at those who HAVE gone and made this a problem?
Example: I'm in Blackburrow one day. The onyx earrings have to be one of
the SIMPLEST things to get ahold of. A Magician, lvl 27 walks in, says he's
here to get the earring, and he'll take everything until he does....if we
dont like it....LEAVE.
Yeah, this is a great attitude people. We had 2 of the damn things to sell,
and offered them and his answer: "WHy should I buy from a lower level when
I can get them myself." Or then we have the fact that I can pick these
suckers up at HOW MANY merchants?
For the paw of opalla quest you could EASILY purchase the damn rings from
lower levels who got them....not only does it get rid of some of that cash
you had sitting around doing NOTHING, but it keeps everyone happy.
