Imperial Wootz Ingot
--------------------
This item is becoming increasingly harder to obtain, its rarity in conjunction with high demand has made the cost to obtain it very difficult. Therefore I ask to look into this situation and keep in mind the following possible suggestions:
1) Since Imperial wootz ingots are needed for salvage, have something from salvage able to add stock to the Auction House
New item(s): Archaic Gizmo, Wootz nuggets, Khroma nuggets, Purified Wootz, Purified Khroma
Archaic Gizmo drops from: Chariots, Ramparts, Gear/Gears type mobs in Salvage
Archaic Gizmo is desynthable into some quantity based on synth result of Wootz nuggets and Khroma nuggets
Purified Wootz is synthed from some quantity of Wootz nuggets
Purified Khroma is synthed from some quantity of Khroma nuggets
(Reason for suggestion of the 'purified' is that following the normal nugget to replace ore formula would take the synth over 8 base items)
Additionally wootz/khroma nuggets could be grown in gardening
Modify Imperial Wootz Ingot synth formula as follows:
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Khroma Ore + Khroma Ore + Wootz Ore
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Khroma Ore + Khroma Ore + Purified Wootz
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Khroma Ore + Purified Khroma + Wootz Ore
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Khroma Ore + Purified Khroma + Purified Wootz
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Purified Khroma x2 + Wootz Ore
Fire Crystal + Iron Ore + Purified Khroma x2 + Purified Wootz
2) Implement the mining for Khroma ore in other areas to ease congestion in Mount Z. and to allow more to drop
Additionally implement other methods to obtain Wootz ore (possibly through mining) outside of dynamis; or increase drop rate of it in dynamis
3) Add new or adjust existing Imperial Standing battlefields to drop Imperial wootz ingots
4) Add Imperial Wootz Ingots as the reward for some kind of quest that requires Captain level; This will both drive more people to aquire captain as well as make it impossible for RMT to farm the quest for profit.
5) Have the Smithing NPC in Al Zahbi able to sell Imperial Wootz Ingots very rarely (1 every game month) at a reasonable price which will act as a 'suggested Auction House price'
Thank you for your time
