I dropped by the shady Swashbuckler again and his price on the
WB LS is 220.5 at 115pp chr, 223.681pp at 110. I'm starting
to think race or diety may also have something to do with all
this, and that there's a cap on how low a price can go.
Since a combine LS sells for 47.5 and costs 52.5 (either to my
amiable guild merchant or to the indifferent gypsies), the
base price is probably 50pp and the limit is 95% and 105%
respectively (+/- 5%). I still need to check my buying price
at the gypsies with the +5 chr, but if my theory is right, it
shouldn't have changed. The sell price at my guild for the
combine LS did not change.
