For lack of anything better to do, I used up my charms. I did not expect to get a level today, though neither did I expect to get within 98k of a level. I’m sorely tempted to hit waterfiends this weekend, but it will be crowded and I don’t want to go. I can smell the bulk haulage already! 
Last post, I asked about the rising prices and received an answer from Chazite (relevant bits quoted):
“Secondly, the introduction of PVP artefacts has been CREATING gp and sending massive amounts of it into the economy. As a result, the value of the gp is decreasing, causing inflation. Thus prices are rising”
Ah, I get it now. Thanks. 
I noted 2 things of great interest to me and maybe you. Firstly, I cleaned out the coffers of my kingdom and found a new seed:
Since I completed the quests (Throne of Miscellania and Royal Trouble) and put money in the coffers 3 years ago, I have never EVER gotten toadflax or snapdragon seeds. Awesome!
Secondly, for those of us who use the plank bridge in the Hollows of Mort Myre swamp, fondly recall having to repeatedly click on specific portions of the bridge in order to cross it. With the recent update, all you need to do is climb the tree and you automatically walk across the bridge!
I found an evil maple tree and helped kill it. It was close to the elf magic trees, so I cut those until the leprechaun’s magic wore off (didn’t get a full load of logs before it did, lol). I did a clue scroll I’ve had and got a rune platebody, black dhide legs, 13 sharks and 30 blood runes.
