I received an offer of a stone for 125pp last night. I told him good luck
getting that much, so he asked me how much I'd pay. I said 15pp for loot
rights and 50pp to buy in a city. He, a 35th lvl monk, said that was
ridiculous because the stone came from a 30+ level mob. I countered with
"yes, but they're lore. Can't carry too many of them around." I got no
response.
