i don't know about coal, i don't mine all that much, but i think anyone who has ever hunted down a skeleton worker card or sharpened legbone of ghoul would have plenty of coal in supply...

and steel is soo easy anyway due to pitmans... send a bolter mage down there and voila! (they're good exp too u know!)

and lvl 4 stones at 20-30k is still pricy you know..
i inadvertently started a 4-A quest and so i decided to finish it... i must have spent a total of at least 2.5-3M on that (emp, gold, stones)...
and i was lucky to have answered the sets correctly, otherwise i would have to buy some more...
and i can't even use or sell what i got... no market for it apparently...
anyway, projecting the costs of a 4-S with 25k stones each will put the costs of one set at around 5-6 M (emp anvil, gold, flower) and an extra 750k everytime you fail... so yeah i think that's pretty decent and not too-commonplace...
you really want to make those weapons unobtainable by telling ppl to hunt down mysteltains and executioners?
and even with all the market support (cheaper stones), my pal juggie seems to still be boggled down with the lvl 4 weapon quests... and he's a resourceful guy, mind you... he works hard, dang he spends way much more time than most people i meet and know on heRO... +1 to juggie!

anyway, i think panda and the gang has really given us loads of zeny sinks and quests... i now do not sell most "trash" drops i would previously sell without hesitation due to the fear that there will be a quest to suck it all up one day... nothing which has a drop of < 70% (with the 3x rates) or from hard-to-find or hard-to-access mobs will be sold and it's really clogging up my kafra... i really am anxious about what comes up next in that monster-extermination quest...

and i just got my nobility recently and i don't even intend to contend for the top 10, but those who do srsly put life into the gold mining business and i think that the nobility concept itself is really a good sink for all the mining being done, so i don't think the gold industry is screwing the economy... conch, J J J, and fates are crazy about the ladder, and they're really affecting the price methinks... the price of gold seem to average at around 140k nowadays... and that goes back to affecting the creation of lvl 4 weapons...

so don't worry, somehow the economy will find another equilibrium... things tend to balance out somehow...
equilibriums are not stagnant, mind you, so don't worry about the fluctuations... (though the legacy of dragon craze was a bit worrying at that time xP)

and at the end of the day, whether it be iRO, heRO, or whateverRO is there (and in real life too!!!), you gotta MAN IT UP... life (and games) are just a set of algorithm waiting for you to overcome it... sometimes the numbers are hard, sometimes they're skewed, but there's always a way to master it...

i appreciate and applaud all the constructive criticism, but please don't bugger the GMs too much about it... i personally would like to bugger my ISP and the whole SE asian internet backbone system for really dampening my chances in ToH... 10 s trivia is really a bane with my connection, especially when it acts up (and the monster rounds too when it skips a few seconds)... but hey, i've been to 3 ToHs without getting a wing but you won't see me quitting any time soon... life is a journey, learn to enjoy the trip... life ultimately ends in death, but there's no need to focus only on the ending... so enjoy... honestly, life and games are there to be enjoyed! if you can't enjoy, it then go find something else to enjoy...
