zan is reformed (ugh), Rise, Rare, etc. there are some but they don't focus that much on hnm's anymore i assume.
arrowshop the mule in port jeuno shouts a douzen times that AV items are for sale in his bazaar. i think only 1 or maybe 2 items sold so far.

AV is not a real HNM but it kinda lets you see where this is going. Herald's gaiters? no thanks, got desert boots and /sch.
