I guess people don't want to buy "weird" consumables. Think of how many items are not used when they're difficult to get. Scroll of FOM, Scroll of DD, Potion of Alchemical Intimidation. People hardly use them. At least They are useful and people use... but how about "Repair anywhere" thing or "Guild Portal Beacon"?
My idea is to make them permanent use by a feat... with a long cooldown. People will buy them even if they're really expensive.
Exmples below:
- Convenient/Silly Tomes: Reading these tomes will grant you some feats.
- Convenient Tome of Eladrin Favour: [Public zone only] Restore your HP, SP, Stat Damage and Charges fully. CD 60 mins.
- Convenient Tome of Lesser Teleport: [Full casting motion] Teleport to Marketplace or Harbor. CD 1 min. (It needs 3 seconds to cast, becuase you can't use this as an escaping spell.)
