You don't play a cleric then.

You don't play a paladin (cos they have to be a master smith in addition
to do a very long and involved quest).

Previously when I hunted in OOT I had what I wanted, now I have to
compete. So I am not a big fan of that.

Sell Rubi in a shop, say the SolA Merchant, make it mega expensive. Too
easy.

Ummmm. Cleric quests are completely pointless .. Sit in a burnt out
house in Kithicor for 8 hours, then go to a tree stump and sit there for
8 hours (BTW nothing to kill in kithicor to pass the time). Do some
running. Pay 250pp and get a pair of boots only slight better then
bronze or steelplate and worse then Rubi.
SK's and Pala's is much much worse.
Why is the chain wearing classes quest armour higher AC and stats then
some of plate wearing classes ?
Warrior : AC and stats better then rubi.
Ranger, Shaman, Rogue, bard : AC as good and stats better then rubi.
Clerics, palas and sk's : AC worse (and for cleric stats pretty useless
except for bracers).
