i have seen a good GM shop before and i thought it could be very good here too
GM shop with B grade and A grade items (low gear only no top )
S grade and above shold be craftable and not in GM shop
and there was also an option in gm shop where u could exchange 10 pieces of a common item for 1 full item
for example: 10x common item- tallum balde = 1 tallum blade
Buffer
since there is a buffer already, and i understand u want to keep all the classes balanced including all buffer classes,
u could add all buffs from human elf dark elf buffers except the improved ones
and add all 3 prophecies skill (fire water wind)
but not cov and magnus
could be more fair for us who cant dual box because of our scky computers and internet connections :P
