They may be expensive "for the early game", but that doesn't mean they are not underpriced. We've been spoiled by being able to expect getting the JoF, perhaps the best single item in the game, before level 10, before even leaving the first two villages, just by slaughtering a bunch of snakes and puppies.

I kill lots and lots of puppies. I am the master puppy killer.....I am the king slayer of puppies. To be honest you can just raise the price of them to a degree that you need to grind even longer to get.....or maybe just maybe they are exactly where they need to be at exactly the right price.....could be you are so good at the game that it seems unfair for it to be accessible so early maybe for the casual player its just where it needs to be

I agree that moving them, and upgrading the low level armor to compensate, would be desirable, but we don't really have anywhere to move them to right now. We can't move them all to Remgard. There are other aspects of the game that also need rebalancing, but it won't happen for the next release. I've added this to my notes on the subject.
Yes you do make a good point Kashim. We are planning to rework the combat system, skills and items for v.0.8 anyway. Your thought will be taken into account then. :)
