Thanks for your comments, (at least someone wants to hear what I gotta say) I agree with you 110% on this. However this is the closest thing I have available that passes for information and the mans numbers add up suprisengly well in many cases. Anyhoo the idea here is to extrapolate from origanial data rather than use my own.

The potion asks for weight here. I've got a whole bit on relative sizeing that I'll try to get posted but what if we gave all the elves somekind of whateverthehell that bug is that makes your nails grow in thick? Would that mater for the potion?

There are some clues to the population of the southern regions of Elyntian in that Gazette article... This needs to be it's own post. I also noticed some Gamelord disscussion last month so this analysis should be aprapo.

IMHO NPCs' are much more valueable than gold. Thanks again for the comments.
