Well, so far on E'Ci. I've had 4 different people attempt to charge me 100pp for a stone. One
of them I whined to and they finally gave it to me for free (apparently they had a friend in my
guild or something). All the others said they'd sold many for 100ppk, and had no intention of
selling it to me for less. It's unfortunate that the higher level bards are dumping money on
these such that us lower level bards (I can kill hill giants pretty well in a decent group at 29,
but it's hard to get that group together) can't afford them. I mean geez! The armor is
expensive enough as it is! ~200pp for the damn lambent sapphires! Wish we could somehow spread
the word to not pay that much for these things.
