I went to upgrade my Blade of Saeldor with ~19800 charges to the (i) version, and it ended up taking ~1300 crystal shards. Per the update post, it should've taken ~800 shards to upgrade. Has anyone else had this issue? 500 crystal shards is a lot to lose.

Did you imbue it via the nearby NPC? If so she charges an additional 500 shards

I tried to use on the bowl, I was given a message that I didn't have all the necessary items, which made no sense; after several combinations of using shards/blade on bowl, I ended up using the npc. There was no warning given that npc would charge an additional 50% Had I known I wouldn't have used npc.

Apologies for that, we'll add in the increased cost in next weeks update.

In the past npc's have charged half the cost to imbue in shards
