Proposed Marked Ward Changes
On Lodestone today Square Enix has stated that market wards will be organized according to specific item types, making it easier to consolidate similar items in the same area. Further, if an item sold within a ward corresponds to that wards’ item type, the tax incurred will be reduced. Items not of that ward’s category may still be sold, but the tax imposed will remain the same.
The ward names are subject to change:
Battlecraft Ward: Pugilist’s Arms / Gladiator’s Arms / Marauder’s Arms / Lancer’s Arms / Archer’s Arms / Shields / Arrows / Throwing Stones / Throwing Spears / Throwing Circles / Throwing Axes

Wow, I’m glad the legfitters ward is such a narrow group, because after looking in the new “tradescraft” ward I’m gonna need a new set of undergarments from the 3 days it will take to find, A. someone selling the type I want B. the actual item I want C. Comparing the PRICE to whoever else I might never find selling the same item.
I bet in the same time it takes someone to buy a rank 6 thaumaturge weapon in the wards, I can find a better GAME.
