Trades that you make w/ the merchant/shaman increase in what you have to give but stay the same in what you receive. Gold tools, specially saws & pick ax are increasingly hard to get but you need more of them to clear items. Example, logs & dead trees started out costing one saw. Now they cost 3-5 saws. Plus repairs on the frequently breaking bathroom & shower use to cost items that you could make now they are wanting 1-2 gold tools. Customer service is useless. They send you to FAQ & then close
