I know what you mean, I created a chara on Aries server just to check prices there, and I was shocked. There was barely anything, that costed the same or was at least close to Libra prices (and a rarity to find something even cheaper).

The prices on Aries were two or three times as high as here (if not even more). I only thought "I couldn't buy a crumb here with the gold I have ... O_O;"

I wonder how people are able to get such enormous amounts of money to buy some good armor, an alchemy book for compounding or whatever ...
