might be a mistake... nothing was discussed in qc about increasing prices.

Trust is as important as transparency. Our admins have become far more transparent so it's probably be good not to assume some super secret plot to increase prices.

Is it all merchants or specific ones?

bashing tower shield had feat improved shield bash, it now has feat shield bash

kraak helzak merchant now carries +3 weapons. were the +4 weapons moved elsewhere?

prices are now 2-3x higher on the epic merchant

not meaning to sound rude...just looking for the best experience for everyone on the server

higher prices wont bother long time vets who are super wealthy...it will however hurt new and part time players

trust must be earned

Calm down guys, the update logs are not even posted yet. The high prices are not intended, a modification was made to prevent an infinite gold exploit, the rise in prices was not foreseen.

that's good to hear. thank you for the swift and polite response :)

about the nerfed bashing tower shield? was it intended/needed? were other items in the epic shop nerfed?

are +4 armor and weapons still going to be available on a merchant?

broken feat. a fix. understood and appreciated

+4 items require a trek to kraak helzak. also understood, and good for lore and rp

I've searched all over Sshamath for similar merchants... nothing. Or are drow also expected to journey to Kraak Helzak to buy their +4s? :P

Yes, Per KH player and Admin request - I swapped out the +3 KH Merchant in Kraak Helzak with the +4 KH Merchant in BG so you do have to go to KH now to purchase +4's.

Also to the BG +3 Merchant I added a lot more +3 items than it used to have. ... I mean it didn't even have a +3 Dwarven War Axe when it was in KH ??!! :clap: :o

The above question has been sitting for some time with many views but no answer....and now it appears the auction house thread will prey off others with these skewed numbers.
