Hey, Cheris,
You logged out, and then if you came back I can usually only negotiate two successful connections per day. I really did think an Oliver Twist esque would've been fun if there were bigger crowds and not most of it at only two stalls.
EDIT:
One little thing I noticed: you were calling them āRuinedā knives, when surely you meant āRunedā.
Thanks, cdmoreland. I've not crafted weapons yet, so I wouldn't know.
