Miscellaneous: Newbie drops - selling for (much) more than classic?

cracked staff was always the $$ of drops, because you'd kill a skelly with one and be "NooooOoooo" when it turned out to be a worn great staff.

Some rusties (broadsword etc) were trashy and sold for much less than the others. 2 handers, long swords all sold for a gp each.

That's what I'm seeing: broad swords, short swords, and maces sell for a few silver, other rusties sell of 1 or 2 gold. They may not be 100% exact on price, but I haven't seen anything glaringly out of whack.

Yeah, like I mentioned I don't have any real proof. I misstated the bat fur example - sorry about that.

Sadly it would be hard to get proof since it's just kind of an across the board - "I'm way richer off of yard trash than I ever was in 1999".

Maybe it's that the venom sacs and similar stuff are dropping much more often now. I guess we may never know. :/

Yeah, I thought as much, but like I said, it's been nearly 11 years, I wasn't positive and didn't want to come out and say it. ^.^

Then yeah, prices are spot on. It's like Agecroft said, for casters most of our cash is going towards spells, and we're having a hard time just like back in the day. If people think it's easier to get plat.. or faster... it's probably because unlike in vanilla, they know what to go after.

Cracked Staves, Poison Glands, Rusty 2handers. Not to mention being out in the field and knowing to ditch your ruined wolf pelt for a cracked staff.

And I still wanna know where you're getting the 5g bat furs. I'd have 20 plat by now with those!
