Unreasonable Quests Should Get New Adjustments.

[Renaissance2K]

Can we talk about Brygid the Stylist Returns for a second?

I was thrilled when I came back to the game in April to finally be able to solo those pesky subligaria from Phomiuna Aquaducts that had contributed to so many frustrating deaths many moons ago. Thrilled, until Brygid requested a Silk Coat and Silk Slops from me. In the past two months, these items have appeared on the Auction House three and one times, respectively, and they were gone before I had a chance to grab them. These armors should be available from NPCs somewhere. No, farming add-on keys and gunning for a 2% chance at getting the piece you want is not what I meant. I don't care if they're 150k each; it's a cheaper option than leveling Clothcraft and Goldsmithing, which I've resorted to.

(I did find a linkshell member willing to craft me the Silk Coat. She accidentally HQ'd it - twice - which is useless for the quest, but I eventually got it. The darn Slops with their relatively-high Goldsmithing requirement are still elusive.)

The market for low- and mid-level equipment is deserted, making any question that requires specific items much harder to complete than in its heyday. Adding some of the rarer items to NPCs at slightly-above-reason prices would make those quests much easier to complete without disrupting anything for crafters.

Ditto for NPC weapon upgrades.
