The short story is i went to kelethin and got a Dirk for 25 plat and i
love it. The long story follows :)

Well, after hearing so many good things about the Dragoon Dirk (D'Vinn's
dagger), i decided that i should return to my homeland of kelethin to
obtain one. So, with 40 plat in my pocket i set out from freeport to go
to CB to buy one. Winning one myself wasn't an option as i am only 14th
level.

Arriving in kelethin i began immediate /auctions "looking for d'vinns
dagger". I got a couple of replies that they would sell me one for 35,
but i thought i could do better. But then i answered an auction for a
Shiny Brass Shield for 17 plat (AC10 +10 magic resist, weight 8.0) i
couldn't resist as my wooden shield was on it's last leg and i bought
it. Then answered an auction for banded legs for 8 plat and one for
Bronze shoulders for 7(what a deal!).

This left me with 8 plat and no dirk :(. So i went into CB to get some
cash. upon entering CB i ran into the trainer, killed him and got a SBS
for free!(good thing it's only PENDING LORE!) i then sold it for 20 plat
giving me 28 plat.

Again i auctioned many times for dvinn's dagger, getting only one reply
still at 35 plat. So i joined a group killing oracles, legionaires etc.
The warlord showed up twice and we killed him. the second time we got
the bracers of battle which we split (20 plat for my share!). Feeling
good now, i auctioned for the dirk again ready to pay 35 and got it for
25!. On the way out i got a dwarven tunic for 15.

With all the kills we made i had made some plat so: arriving in kelethin
with 40 plat i left with the Dirk, a SBS, banded legs, bronze shoulders,
and a dwarven tunic and 17 plat. Not bad for a days work!

I highly reccommend getting the SBS for yourself. the trainer dosent
always drop it, but if you get it they seem to sell easily on Feydwer
for 20 plat and i hear 50 plat in freeport, guess i'll find out at 17
level :).
