Scalping

Would any wizard or perhaps someone with a good explanation explain why the value of scalps has changed so much recently? It doesn't bother me much, but I was curious.

If it went down, probably because it was a bit too easy to get rich selling the equipment and scalps of dead things.

it didn't go down per se, things are just worth alot different values.

i still think troll scalps should be one gold, those things are hard to get.

Actually it is around one minute, give or take. Sure if it regenerates indefinitely it can be a pain.

Who doesn't? I mean, they ARE incredibly awesome. ;P

And yeah, trolls aren't THAT tough. Then again I think the only time I've fought a troll was with a Shao character...

I second that motion, especially that I am not playing much currently. Heck, an enterprising black belt might even "hijack" the shao guild right now!

Of all the people to "hijack" the Shao guild, would you REALLY want KASEO in charge? ;P

Yeah, I'm way too lazy for something like that.

Murdering Luxons isn't a good way to encourage it. ;)
