Ok, well I've just returned from an extended absence (Left during c4) and although much of the game is the same, I've noticed a few changes, one of which has me confused.
I went to the BS to exchange a BoP for a Kris, but wasn't given the option to do so. The only weapon I could exchange it for was a set of fists. As I recall, it used to be such that I could exchange it for ANY other top b weapon, was it not? What exactly is the nature of this change, or did I just screw something up?
b.) no, you cannot (and never could) exchange <any> B weapon to <any> other B weapon, you can only exchange low and top B weapon to low and top B fist weapon (but not the other way round). Only <any> B weapon to same value B fist.
When 7 signs was introduced, you could only exchange D and C items. Later on, they introduced this "exchange to B fist" feature, apparently because there are not enough B fist weapons on the market.
Ah, I see. My main is a SH, and I bought all of his gear as I needed it, so I never had a need to exchange anything until I rolled an alt. I appreciate the info!
