I think newbium should be removed as ingots and blanks. I would propse this.

There is already a special place to buy gear from. Cannot remember the exact name of it, but you get there by climbing a rope and buying a pass from an elf south of VO.

I would like to see newbium weapons and armour sold there instead of iron. These items would sost a lot, but it would be far better then having iron degrading every 100 hits or so. Plus the cost of store boaught equipment is so outta balance it sucks. It costs almost 300 mcgrail for a backpack but only 1 mcgrail for a gauntlet or 10 mcgrail for a breast plate.

I would suggest doing this. For iron armour it would sost 250 mcgrail per piece. It doesn't matter what the piece is. The cost of the item is for the making, shipping and storage of the item in the shop. For newbium armour it would be 500 mcgrail per piece and would be on a limited basis.

I would suggest Iron weapons costing 500 mcgrail for iron and newbium costing 1000. The highest quality of these wewapons would be fine and unruneable.

These items would still disappear when getting to 12th level combat.
