I will start with a single red apple and barter my way up just to see how far it will work, Documenting my trades all along the way. There are no goals set for this experiment. Just what the player community has to offer.
The Rules are as follows:
1) All Offers need to be done via these Forums, either by Posting to this topic or by PM.
2) NO GOLD is to be exchanged. This will be by barter ONLY.
3) No multiplying of the same offer. (Ex. trading 5 apples in exchange for 1 Apple.)
4) Barter must be deemed "noticeably improved" (Ex. No Trading an accurate silver katana for a supremely accurate silver katana)
5) Please keep the barter improvements in "reasonable" increments.
6) Please be imaginative, fun, and unique in your offers.
