You buy his item from him for what he perceives to be wealth and then flip it for more value. Increasing your own wealth and dropping him back in wealth. It's what end-game is all about yo!

" Deux wrote: Theres no cure for stupid If you come across a player who wants to sell an Exalted Orb for a Transmutation Orb do you: a) Inform them that an Exalted Orb is worth 1,000s of Transmutes. b) Jump on the guy, virtually forcing a Transmute in his mouth before he can leave. c) Inform him that an Exalt is only worth a Wisdom Scroll, but since you like him, you'll give him 2. Where does the concept of 'stupid' come into play in this scenario? Baring in mind both the long-term and short-term consequences of any decision. Isn't the issue more about 'morality' - to which, in an RPG setting, wouldn't it be great if characters had either good, evil or neutral auras which changed upon decisions like this!

Do they create an alternative currency though? For instance in the game Haven & Hearth, a type of "leveling item" called "curiositites" are used as currency despite not being coins of any sort.
