gold? wouldn't it be simpler to have "repair points", so to speak, that is based on the base cost of any and all common items? rather than specific items.
anyway, you would think ooc clans would be into this sort of thing., 1 noble each, 1 advy each. gang together to fight and search and repair, and every noble get a bundle of items.
i probably should go back to 2 advy in an island to see how the new thingy goes.
