Epic Access to Blood of Magic

One task that seems to get old real fast is the gathering of BoM gems; Soul gems too. The dash to shops and treks towards the usual hunting grounds are expected to be experienced in pre-Epic activities.

However, in Epic and Ascended experience, this could be avoided if BoM's were made available in Epic drops such as the dark Realm, or placed in unlimited quantities for Epic prices in certain shops that may already deal in such items and requests. This would allow the more powerful PC's to avoid the drudgery, shorten lines, and even increase availability for BoM's for the lowbies as the usual spots would see less Epic interference.

Or am I missing something obvious?

Good idea. I think BoM added to drops from epic baddies would be great.

I also like the idea of shops, as well ... perhaps wandering merchants?

I have had one encounter with a wandering merchant, but he vanished before I could even finish reading the dialogue box. I was informed that this encounter is so rare that some have not seen him in their enire experience on Aenea. Perhaps with al the Epic, Reincarnated, and Ascended adventurers seen currently, that this Epic Merchant might become a bit more visible and accessable; BoM included?

Yup... I have never, in all my time... ever once laid eyes on Ametharonmon.

Who ?

He's a wandering gnome dressed all funky who sells soulgems. I've seen him twice in 3 years.

I've never seen him myself. When I spoke of wandering merchants, I was speaking of some that would be a bit more ... regular, perhaps with a steady route traveled ...

Perhaps if we traded him some bran flakes and high fiber sources like fruit and wheat bread, this would increase his regularity!
