So something that's always bothered me....

If I disenchant an unusual item... I get 5 platinum coins.
If I disenchant a peculiar item... I get 5 platinum coins.
If I disenchant an exotic item.... I still only get 5 platinum coins.

Since I have to pay 25 platinum in a scaling manner from unusual-exotic in order to take the enchants off I really think the system should be a little more like this.

Unusual = 5 platinum
Peculiar = 10 platinum
Exotic = 15 platinum

Well, I agree. I had a look to see if it was an easy change, but it looks like it will require some effort to fix it. Any volunteers amongst our wizards?

I'll have a look this weekend

i think proper payment when you disenchant imbued item would be nullstone. He destroys the item and his magic abilities, take nullstone from it and give it to you, what do you think?
It is better than money and suits more in enchanting world.

Good thinking from Irk here.
And Zestana for that matter.
Peculiars and exotics are rather rare so it makes sense that disenchanting them should give more of a reward too.

Given that the intention of the imbuement system was supposed to be a money sink of sorts I can't see Gorboth going for that idea.

In essence. Items you find useless do end up giving you a nullstone after 5 of them. Since that will yield 25 platinum. I am sure you find more imbuements that you don't use than you do of which you use. I rarely have to take money out of the bank to buy nullstones. I disenchant at the end of the armageddon, buy nullstones with what I have, and transmogrify the rest.

even with my idea it would be still money sink system

No it wouldn't. The only money option would be the random enchant... which I don't think as many people do.

Just give me my five plats and stfu. The system works fine the way it is. Don't fix what's not broken.

By upping the payout to 10 plat for peculiar and 15 plat for exotic it would still be a money sink.
However the rare occurance of shit exotics and peculiars would give you slightly more of a payout.
