So I noticed a thing that absolutely blew my mind. Mainly because it makes no sense. Now let's look at my complaint.
The Priests Robe. It costs 3018 Gold. It has 8 Body Armor and 6 Leg Armor. It has an upkeep of 211 Gold.
The Monk Robe. It costs 18 Gold. It has 8 Body Armor and 6 Leg Armor. It has an upkeep of 1 Gold.
They have identical stats, weight. Everything. Yet the Priests Robe costs more than the Byrnie and Mail Shirt with Fur which give 36 Body Armor and 3 Leg Armor.
They have even less upkeep cost and general cost.
As you can see below. Compare and tell me if this is fair.

The Monk robe is the same, you can even buy a Byrnie and the Mail Shirt CHEAPER. Pay less for it and you have also the same upkeep. This makes no sense to me.
I asked people ingame why it is like it is. I had one person answer "Because it looks better" (the priests robe). Is this really a reason? Because if it is it makes no sense, there's plenty of really objectively ugly armour that is extremely expensive.
I think this needs a change, it has no consistent reason to be like this. It has no logic. A lot of people go for stats. Why get the Priests Robe when you can get the Monks Robe then? same stats, different look. Costs waaaaaaaaaaaay less.
Come .. Seriously. This needs a change people. I like to save money sometimes. I want this to cost what it should, this is some serious inflation.
