Note: The amounts paid out by Rogar include the expense of creating the items purchased.<br/><br/>In the case of the potions of Cure Light, 250 is the cost that is incured in the production. The remaining 25 is the 10% that Muse's character earned for the effort. Muse spent 250 to make the potions, and got that back from me. It's just like buying a car, the majority of it's price is manufacturing cost and other expenses that must be spent to create it.<br/><br/>In the 5,500 exchange, the actual profit, that which may be added to the spendable gold, is 500. One character and that 2,400 GP reduction is 25% paid for. Not as bad as it seems is it?
