Hey Garrot, I don't have the answer to your above question but I do know that if you need swords and staffs run kill the kobald spawn real fast and you will have 2-4 swords and 1-2 staffs in one spawn. The shields....take one other to the centaurs and they drop them often. Very quick way to stock up on those items.

I do know we need more people donating these items if they are to be distributed often there will be more going in there.

Check the weaponsmith spreadsheet in the crafters forum. Have the ingredients on hand for the weapons you need. That way when someone is on that can make them for you, you can just hand over the supplies and get what you need. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me if I can make them armor and then said okay one sec let me go farm the resources....one sec? try 2 hours lol.
