I was hunting in Velk's briefly last week. My partner and I killed about 3 spiders. Got a crystalline silk and a crushed topaz. He picked up the topaz, I had the silk. He traded loot with me. At first I was feeling kind of grumpy about it. After all, I'm a tailor and these silks are part of why I came to the zone. Then I went to the bazaar and saw what crushed topaz was going for. Up to 800pp? Wow.
Um, yeah, okay. My tailoring can wait for a while.
