Another idea to help get the economy growing some. What about player craftable spell componets. Does not have to be a lot of diffrent ones just do for spell componets by teir and skill. I.E. Flame Tier 1-5, Ice Tier 1-5 and so on. Weapons could be done the same way a sharpening stone, for crush I am not sure maybe call it patch kit?, for Slash teir 1-5, Crush teir 1-5, Crossbow 1-5, and so on.

I think something like this would go over better then item decay, at least at lower level. They would give more crafters a consumable resource to sale, and I think they would sell much better the the blighted recharge kits that are already out there and follow this idea.
