::chuckle:: Well, folks.. it may not be the best BP in the game, but it sure is a nice one. The BP goes for about 18 - 25k on Druzzil Ro. I acquired a "Red Dragon Scales" dropped from one of the red draggys for a Chetari Bonecrafted Shield (15 - 20k item on Druzzil Ro). I dunno about you, but if I cannot get 30 - 50k from the scale itself from folks doing their epics who don't want to wait for a roll in their guild or their guild to be big enough.. then I'll simply make a BP for my rogue. Come on, folks. +20 STR is decent. =) This item IS droppable, it IS expensive, and it IS sellable.
As for the vial of swirling smoke.. my suggestion is to find a vendor you are ally with, or at least amiable. Easiest one I found is the gal near the dark elf bank in Neriak... for 15 - 20 stacks of red wine in the infamous red wine quest, you can be ally with the "DarkBargainers".. the faction she's on :) Get your local inky or enchanter friend to do it.. give em a nice cha buff. Make sure their cha is over 100 for the best price. Talk to your local enchanter or shaman for that one. You will save money if you do it right. ;) For Kyiri, the prices vary between 1050 and 1300-ish for the vial... which, BTW, has a single charge of Gate, and will vanish and gate you if you click on it. (That's what expendable means.) :) That is with 130 - 140 cha, and amiable faction in her wood elf home in Kelethin.
For the folks who say this BP sux0r... who can resist a half elf rogue smirking at you in full red? ;) (Rubicite compliments this very nicely.) I know that even while Velious armor is better.. this was PRE Velious armor. None of my little alts will be getting Velious quest armor for a long, long time :) And 20 STR is nice for almost any melee class :) If you are missing stats because of a BP you are wearing... go buy some decent jewelry to fix it ;)
Just *my* 2cp :)
