Aye that was my plan. I wanted to get a combine rapier so that I didn't
fall behind my friends who are purely monster killers. I am also attempting
to become a smith. I am at 55 skill and haven't practiced in a while because
I have been saving for this weapon. Arhghhhhh... its so annoying being
perpetually poor! I have been so tempted to run off with my 42 plat and
power smith using the new control click method the verant guys have blessed
us trade skill peoples with. Man I love that. but I know that if I do I
will be so far behind my friends who are getting to levels where magic only
creatures are more frequent. Ah well... life goes on. Thanks for the info
:)
