Look for the new "Master Smith" in Hibernia, Jordheim, or Camelot. At the time of this posting, the Master Smith is available to exchange the following items: - Necklace of the Body - Pooka Lord's Mantle - Yellow Silken Robes If you know of additional one-time-drop or quest items with charges, please leave a note in this thread with the item name.

Price of Arnulv's ring of the butcher went sky high after that change, because you sometimes needed to camp there for days to get it, unless you played US time and parked your toon there while you were talking to someone/reading, so you just waited for pop. Even then, it took hours/days. You confirmed ring of the butcher is a classic item, and the NPC upgrader does not upgrade it? I had like 4 of those rings, 3 I used for my guildies and one I have in my zerker template. I farmed one, and payed ****** of money for other 3. It was not easy to acquire, because I payed a lot of money for a low utility item that's only usable by 2 classes, and back then you could use Kobil's ring if you wanted to exchange, cause it was cheaper. My friend killed Arnulv 17 times, I killed him 10 times, other friend killed him 20 + times since the charge upgrade, only one ring dropped. That was a lot of hours, not to mention there are always 1-4 people there. If a quest cloak on Hib can be upgraded by NPC, I do not understand why ring of the butcher can't. Yes, it looks like a simple item, but it was not easy to get for anyone who farmed it after the drop rate/respawn timer change. Sorry, but this makes no sense to me, it's like you are deliberately trying to punish players to farm there for hours and hours and literally fight for the spot. I can understand you don't want to upgrade items from taj or items that are not proven to be classic, but if ring of the butcher is, where is the problem? "He was concerned only with the naked fundamentals of life. The warm intimacies of small, kindly things, the sentiments and delicious trivialities that make up so much of civilized men's lives were meaningless to him. A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs. Bloodshed and violence and savagery were the natural elements of the life Conan knew; he could not, and would never, understand the little things that are so dear to civilized men and women."
