This post actually made me smile
Been a while since I heard people ask for basic supplies in a place like this.
Means UO (and RP) still gets a flow of new people!
(perhaps the OMGLETSMAKEUOLOOKLIKEWOW-tactics paid off)
Or you just may not be new but can't be arsed to put in any efford to get what you need and beg on a public board. In which case I say boo! Hrm...
Heh, anyway, there are some scribes around in Cove. Ask Erik Arkay, he'll gladly make you all the runebooks you need, including runes! For free!
