Subject: RE: Great post on item balancing (Long)


At the risk of sounding like an old coot, you youngins today do not know how

easy you have it :) In my day..... hah
And the game is always changing, hopefully more mid level items will by
added. I still crinch when I remember that the day AFTER I spent 220 plat
on a Well balanced Rapier, the Ornate Dagger was changed into the Dragoon
Dirk. Then I found that the WB Rapier would only sell back for 45 plat,
aarrrrgggghhhhh. I did manage to trade it for a runed bone fork though :)

Rokenn Swiftsong - Karana server

Hee hee, trouble is I'm almost as mature as my server! I started in late
April after all my friends forgot which server to start on and left me alone
on Sol Ro. I was saving up for a WB rapier on the premise it like a combine
would be a rental fee. Fortunately John (tm) saved me from my folly by
letting me know in advance it would sell back for so little. I've had
enough money in my day to buy a better 1HS, but spent it in halves or so on
armor that was so much better than what I had compared to moving up from a
dirk to an obsidian scimmy. Maybe I should sell a couple of 150pp+ armor
pieces and replace them with bronze to buy an obsidian scimitar. I'd rather
earn it directly as that's how I got the two weapons I have now, but that
isn't possible at my level. There are no good weapons dropped that a group
of my level could get that a bard can use that are better than my dirk.
Hmmm, maybe the dirk is the unbalanced part!
