As some people were upset for a long while that a few items are only available for those who are on good terms with the Grove, I have browsed through the shop and took the items which are:

1. Not available in other Stores
2. Not able to be crafted via Mythals
3. Aren't available in a very similar other fashion

and added them to the Djinn Merchant. Mind the armors will be renamed there. One item I also upgraded a little even.

For those who know the items and wonder one is slightly differnt, they got a re-do a while ago and were changed in the other shop aswell. Some are gone and some were changed a little.

The Djinn merchant will be available once a week, which will be announced over forums and via website.

The new items will be available next time he shows.

Would this be the wrong place to ask if he can sell non-evil-only versions of some of the gear available in the Tarkuul shops? The mage armours especially are far better than any other gear sold by merchants (spell slot robes, for example).

I'm so glad the groove's monopoly finally has ended

I'll try to be as polite as possible, but I cannot let that comment go uncommented as it twists some facts quite immensely.

The shop we speak of is the result of a faction investing a lot of RP and a lot of time into their RP. It was designed so it creates a lot of RP as you only gain access after some heavy RP.

Several factions had own shops for their members or gear in the past if they had enough long term RP, members and effort put into it.

No other druid or ranger group ever made a faction and tried to obtain an equivalent. All that was done was an occasional annoyed post of some individuals of "why do they get goodies and I not?!"

I have never seen a single attempt to get something similar for an evil druid/ranger faction or other nature faction who rped towards getting such.

So I am tired of people claiming the Grove has some kind of monopoly when noone IC attempted to do something similar but only ooc complained that it should be public.

I think some more factions have their own gear.

Not going to name them but as long as that gear is carefully balanced I don't mind it one bit personally. Still, its a very nice gesture of Ama to add this to the Djinni's wares (and it's nice of her to put a lot of time into this in the first place!)

I think having faction based gear that people have put time and effort to being exclusive to that faction is a good idea personally. It gives an incentive for people to join a faction. Plus it also makes you feel like your efforts have been rewarded when you have created an item that few to no other people have created.
