We have just released the ability to temper kata weapons. In line with
that, we have also adjusted the commodity price for kata weapons to keep
them in line with warrior weapons, being that now you can temper and
don't need to keep reforging.

Further, we have adjusted commodities across the board for every trade
skill. Part of the reason for this is there has been a snowballing glut
in commodities and we want to start adjusting that to make commodities
more worthwhile and making the commercial government more attractive.

As part of this change, I would like to encourage cities and communes
not to stockpile commodities that trades need. With the possible
exception of marble and wood (which are sometimes used for adding rooms
to cities and communes), there is really no reason that cities and
communes to need excessive amounts of commodities. Sure, putting some
away for a rainy day may make sense but some of the present levels of
stockpiling is simply unnecessary.
