Combines have the same stats as fine steel weapons, except
they count as magical weapons.

THere are four gypsy camps. Oasis has sand giants wandering
through it, Karana has griffins flying through it. There's
one at Lavastorm, which is a bit safer but nearly impossible
to find. The Lavastorm camp is also the only one with the
blunt combine weapons and the combine spear and rapier. I've
never been to the camp in Rathe Lake.

Most bards tend to get the best prices or close to it, so I
wouldn't fret so much over the cost. When you outgrow it, you
can either sell it to a player, or sell it to a merchant and
only take a 10%-15% loss. So even though a combine rapier
cost me 52.5pp, I can sell it back for 47.681pp, thus it's
like I've only paid 5pp to use it.
