I stay broke too, I got my Tommie buy killing the named one JUST before the
whole server knew about it, and I saved for 2 levels for my combine weapon,
However I too give away many things I come across out of fellowship, however
I have reaped the benefit of having one of the two enchanters on my server
who can create and enchant gold.... being in my guild, he is a cash cow and
Ive been his fence for many weeks.
