Uuken Exley, Butler of Erudio opens the door to the south.
With a polite bow and murmur of farewell, Uuken Exley departs to the south.
Wait, denizens open doors? Is this new?
I know the lucidians in Arthar'rt sometimes go through the closed doors. So this is new to me.

You know who doesn't open doors? The Dread Lord of Contagion.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Oh god the regret after making the purchases I've made today. After much time to analyse them, I feel that out of the crates, presents are the best, then dingbats, then goop, with coins last.

but you can trade goop arties in for dingbats...three times more than getting them directly
Also, there are too many mothers in Serenwilde. Mother Selene, Mother Moon, Mother Moonhart. Can't decide which one to make my finky fixate on!
Why choose?
There can be only one!
Finks have a hive-like matriarchal society. Like kephera, but with less psychic and more violence. So I'm trying to find a 'matricarch' for Nikk to obssess over.

This is the only way to currently gain goop outside of presents. I can at least get dingbats through Elite and such, so multiple sources mean I can make use of them quicker. Compared to goop which for me requires two crates worth before I can even buy something.

Why are trade skill artifacts priced so differently?

Yeah, they are. I've got a pair myself. What I meant was why the poisoner gloves cost 100 credits more than the harvester gloves, when they have a pretty much identical function (doubles your harvests).

I'd think the poisoner's gloves should cost less, just given the slow return. While poison should typically have a better sell value as compared to a cache of herbs gathered over the same amount of time (except in the case of sparkleberry and earwort, probably), the number of players that need herbs > the number of players that need poisons.
Also: jeweler's hammer was more worth it when people weren't pooping out gem comms. Also, when selling standard vials was more of a thing. I'd still say it's -worth it- now, but maybe a little less so.

Right? And buying up Hartstone powerstones for totem carving (heck yes, 50gp!) would make me titter with excitement, because of those -boobs- buying them at the Aetherplex for 2500+.
Oh, how the times change.

I still do not comprehend the cheapness of powerstones.
Aether mines ruined commodities across the board. More gems (including powerstones) than people know what to do with leads to people just handing them out saying PLEASE, NO MORE. Since a lot of folks already have more gold than they could ever spend on things they'll actually use, it just keeps nosediving.
Reminds me vaguely of Aetolia's economy, where it's cheaper to buy most elixirs than it is to produce them simply because of outstanding supply bloat.

Granted, some could stand a closer look. For instance, harvesting gloves and poisoner gloves.
I'd think it on par with the concept of Gloves of Harvesting.
