Valentina’s Vault: Price List and Rare Metal Products
Welcome to Valentina’s Vault, a hidden gem in the Grand Bazaar known for its vast inventory of rare and enchanted metals. Adventurers, blacksmiths, and even warlords come here to acquire strange materials for their weapons, armor, and magical artifacts. The owner, Valentina, always greets her customers with a mysterious smile and never asks where the metals come from—nor does she offer such information herself.
