A lot of people think it's too expensive to recharge mallets, and they prefer to go down to the swamp with rubies to get a new one after selling their empty one to a merchant.

This is really weird to me. There is an objective answer (which I do not know but it should be easy to figure out) to the question of, which is cheaper, recharging or buying rubies? How much does it cost to recharge the mallet? Rubies are what, 100pp? Whichever option is cheaper, people should be doing that and only that. If it's 50pp to recharge and 100pp for a ruby, the people buying rubies are fools. If it's 300pp to recharge and 100pp for a ruby, someone needs to tell a bunch of warriors in my guild.


Or is it like, because it's more expensive to recharge it, but it's more effort to go into the swamp, lazy people with more money to throw around recharge it, and not-lazy people with less money go do the quest over and over?

mallets when sold net you around 70 plat, and then to buy back is 420 ish plat

so as long as you can get a mallet from less than ( Yumyums :P ) 3 rubies then you kinda made the right choice

Tell us more, brick. Do you really love rubies?

Yeah, it's mostly this.

What's the objective value to every given person on the server of travelling to swamp and spending the time to quest a new mallet instead of just using plat to recharge one?

sounds like immersion

Yeah that's what I realized when I edited in the last part
