How about merchants like Stovel. Loved stovel equipment. Was GM Khaladon Stove? I remember Khaladon was good. I've been gone awhile, I'm sure there's other good merchants out there, but haven't really seen much in the 2.5 months I've been back. Maybe that's not enough time to cast a judgement. A lot of alter, lighten and deepen, which are fine; not punching a gifthorse in a mouth, just providing an example of a "beefed" merchant.
