Like I said, if it's more than about 20pp, it's more cost-time
effective for me to just go to Crushbone and get one myself.
Worst case, it's about two hours round trip from Freeport to
Crushbone and getting a shot a Dvinn. In an equivalent amount
of time, my friends and I can currently rake in about 20-30pp
of loot killing general mobs. If someone wants to charge me 5
hours of loot for an item that takes me 2 hours to get myself,
I will just get it myself in 2 hours and spend the remaining 3
hours enjoying the dirk and earning money for myself.

I really think you guys need to make Dvinn a rarer spawn, or
give him a different weapon most of the time instead of the
dirk. The availability of the dirk is out of proportion to
the other special weapons in the game at that level.
