CHR Helms/Items for Sorcerers

[Steve]

I think the Kraak Helzak merchant is grandfathered in from a time when +3 with no other bonuses was considered top tier merchant gear. Now it is a bit of a joke. Other merchants seem to have nearly all items +4 with other goodies.

And to address some of yyj's questions: you must realize that "administrations" on BGTSCC change. Different admins, different Head DMs, different Leads for the Developers, for QC, etc.

With each administration comes (came) a set of ideas, or ideals, or experiments...and at times, widely differed. As well, mostly what "goes in" on BGTSCC stays in, even if in later years—and later "administrations"—the rules around such things have drastically changed (and usually for the better, but as all things, not always!).

In general, we are all amateurs, in the original sense, and sometimes, in the more common sense of the word. So, in most instances, one has to go with the flow, and at times, try and make the effort to change that flow. Or at least, the Server seems like a better place, if we have that agency.

However...no guarantees!! Because, of what was said above. Cheers.
