New CWK Items?

Yes they do. A higher supply of the untradeable weapons means less demand for the tradeable counterpart, and thus less sellability.

yes they "devalue" a little but I think the intrinsic value will stay intact if the pq is really that hard. Basically, if earning the amount of mesos to buy the tradeable one is compareable to the the effort involved in the pq then the tradeable will win out cause rather than a one shot, you have the potential to make money off the tradeable one when you sell it (if you ever need to).

True fewer people will "need" one if they can work at it (through the pq) but then again look at leeching... *generalization coming* those that leech probably don't have the time/ability/patience to gain the staff from the pq and thus would willingly use their mass amounts of mesos to buy the staff reguardless of the ability to get one for free from the pq.

Though I would love a ele staff for high luk bishops (put an end to all this lukless crap, and I'm a priest so I'd have something to look foreward to)
