...The question would be would it be thematic only and therefore not use gold, have some sort of bonus, or just use a different resource so even though it's mostly thematic you still have to earn it? alot to think about xP

Since we haven't gotten too in to the RP yet I'm not sure how tight we will be on gold to spend on items and how much we'd have to spend on frivolous things if they cost gold. I think we should have to earn thematic items somehow, I'm just not exactly sure how since we're still so early days
