    Default End Rewards - cash option / mana pot

    Offer a cashout option as an end reward..
    Give all caster classes a fixed Mana Pot option as an end reward.

    those with poor haggling skills don't get fair value when we have to sell junk end rewards.

    Well, to clarify,
    I have a couple of toons..
    a rogue with great haggle so he can buy and sell reasonably well and an evasion cleric with haggle of about.. n/a.

    The cleric usually sees 4-6 types of heavy/med armor and a couple of shields. for him not all that useful.
    - usually looks for the best money reward and sells. Mana pots would be more usefull or even a stack of heal scrolls would be nice (but these I never see). My cleric is usually broke and relies on my rogue to mail purchases to him.

    I've been playing for about 6 months and I'm having a great time...
    I am sure as I get better with the game and mana management this will become easier.
    Have only really played on Argonessan and have recently joined a fun to play with guild (Order of the Drow).
    I still consider myself a noob. and I'm ok with that

    So sad but true.

    I don't agree with this one at all. This will simply encourage even more plat farming than we see now.

    Offering a decent number of Heal scrolls as an end reward option would be excellent, IMO.

    At lower levels, you are occasionally offered Cure Serious wands as end rewards. These, while great at low level, are mediocre by level 9 and useless by level 12 or 13. But they aren't replaced by the actual end-game consumable of choice.

    IMO a stack of ten Heal scrolls would make a solid end reward option for level 11 to 15 quests, and a stack of 25 for level 16+ quests.

    And, perhaps other random scrolls could occasionally appear as end rewards too.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    That *might* be nice as a way to not have to clutter up the inventory with stuff you were just going to sell anyway *but* it I can't imagine they'd give you full broker prices, rather standard vendor prices, with haggle factored in. Seems only right... and possibly a fee as well.

    Egad no! Mana pots *should* be rare an valuable. Someone mentioned some consumable love at higher levels, and yeah, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

    Well, to be fair, folks with poor haggling skills *shouldn't* be getting fair value for their end rewards.

    Bound Mana pots as end rewards could work too.

    I like the idea of getting a stack of class related higher level scrolls.

    Perhaps give clerics a portable hole like area using the recall spell to theTemple of the Sovereign Host in House Deneith that will give us a place where we can buy scrolls at a discount.

    I realize Mod9 will bring some good things (but will also be damaging to my Paypal balance and draw wife aggro) o.O

    I think Sirgog is on to something here. Other than the occasional manapot, we really don't get any consumables as an end reward.

    Though I am against having any end reward being fixed to static. It's easy to sell everything, and manapots sell for 10k plat easy. I buy most of my ings with manapots, when the need arises.
