I would love to hear the story behind the quantities...
First off- going into 20 years of UO- nothing should surprise us by now... and I agree, I wish there might be a compelling story!
Ingredients were duped in mass a few years back (deed form). Within the last few year, I know of at least 2 with 60k deeds of all the Ingredients loaded up in chests. More than likely these were purchased from stratics and it came out of one of those halls.. just check stratics search and you see several bulk deals that went down on ingredients.
I was at an idoc on Chessy about 2 years ago and got tons... gave away a ton to friends and still have lots left... I've not needed to buy anything but whetstones since then.
