the worst orders are the ones where you ask 20 times "are you SURE you want
a gorget? a spiked collar would probably be a lot better and cost as much"
they reply "sure sure, full suit"
then an hour later running back and forth from misty thicket to HH because
you're making small and you run to EC and finally show up after a bunch of
impatient tells and he says "Oh! i just need a tunic, legs and cloak now.
how much for those 3?"
hehe ulcers coming back to me from this. i charge 1000pp to make a full
suit of banded now. very effectively tells people i've hung up my
sledgehammer.
but there is something to be said for being able to create actual armor
(that isn't half bad) from your own hands.

As a Master Smith on the Karana server it is just not worth my time or
effort to make and sell Banded anymore. As most people are not willing to
pay enough to make it worth while. That combined with too many flakey
customers, last 2 people who wanted a complete set flaked on me after I had
made it, have led me to stop making banded for sale. The only time I make
it now is for friends that need it.
