Just my 2 gp worth on the inventing:
Any of us who have been around for 7 years or so have seen a lot of originally expensive epic items drastically go down in price. Most of this is caused by what I'm calling the "Fallen Sword Effect". The things just don't wear out, as our blacksmiths can return them to pristine condition even if totally destroyed. I'm not complaining mind you, just stating the obvious.
In my humble (or not so)) opinion we don't need to have the market flooded by new epics. They SHOULD be hard to produce, (hence the term "epic") and the word hard implies a certain amount of risk.
Yes, if my pail of milk got spilt, I'd be irritated, in fact, a "Golly Gee Whiz!" might escape my lips. But it would be part of the game, equally applied for everyone.
Probably not a real popular view. but the game doesn't need to be made easier. A few honest challenges are always good.
