All quest/area explore caveats in place, posting ingredient/type/area doesn't
really bother me. The combination of ingredients to make other things kind of
bugs me, but I know that Diku or Aether will just fuck that up for everyone
now that the question has been raised anyway.
If you guys do open them up to discussion it won't tick me off at all, I'm not
going to go moving things around. But. There will be some game balance
adjustments to be made depending on what is publicized and any resulting thief
population changes. The one or two I can think of at the top of that list
might feel a little punitive at first.
