Yes. Every merchant should accept almost every item at a discount, and give preference to what they like to buy. Just like EQ.
Also, I’ve killed probably 150 Ashira & Skeletons and have gotten exactly zero 4 slot bags, which makes me think they don’t exist in their loot tables. I’ve accumulated about 25 silver in roughly eleven hours of playtime, and spent about 15 of that silver on MOST of my level 1 & 4 spells. If i wanted them all the other 10s would be gone too. A single 8 slot backpack is 85 silver from a vendor.
Oh just craft you say? My brother wanted to smith a set of copper armour for himself so gave that a shot. It takes mats from about 4 (contested) copper veins for a single combine. In 15 combines he’s yielded a single piece of armour, and the rest if the mats have been fully consumed, including the recipes that are over 1 silver each. Last night he logged off in frustration. We’re talking about a guy who used to grind in LINEAGE.
They have some real balance work to do, and i hope they’re willing to do it. I’m seeing ZERO of this criticism in their discord/reddit.
