Also, while looking over the threads I came across that "craft a level-appropriate item" each level. I never ended up doing that. Are we still doing this? It might open up some of the options I'm trying to choose between, but since we haven't really been paying attention to it, I'd be ok if you decide against it now and retroactively ignore it.
Yeah, we're doing that. Of course, level-appropriate would mean level 8 for you guys, which isn't that useful when you're already using the Wish economy.
Although after reviewing my charts in post 2 of the "rules thread", you guys will reach the point where items above 15k are considered "level appropriate" at level 10. So after that it could come in handy. Until then, I wouldn't bother with it, unless you just want to do it for flavor reasons.
Also, as I think I said earlier, it doesn't have to literally be "crafting" it. You could say you went on a quest for it, won it in a card game, your "benefactor" provided it, etc. We can work it into the story. It was basically just a guarantee that you can always get the level appropriate items that you want, even in a system where you can't just purchase them with gold.
And of course you guys can
have more than 8 items, you just can't
use them all at the same time, if that helps.
