I had a few questions about what exactly lands an item in spec.
Obviously there's the whole net 5 stat thing, but where does either
the rent or the difficulty in acquiring come in? If a builder makes
an item that's +5 stat and 500 rent would it be considered in spec?
What about a 5 str 6 dam held item that's 5500 rent? It seems to me
that there should be an acceptable range for rent based on the ac,
material, and net stat of an item, then if it falls below this range
it needs to have additional penalties to be considered in spec and if
it's over this range it gets a kickback towards being in spec. As far
as weapons are concerned I guess weight of weapon seems to be factored
into rent as well, or there's just something I don't understand since
the average good str weapon is like 7k or so rent while the average
good dex weapon is maybe 3500 - 4000 rent.
Let's say there's this really difficult quest, takes like 10 hours of
collecting items, being in the right place at the right time to perform
a task, lotsa of effort involved, and the quest reward has a really
high rent value associated with it, could this item be out of spec?

'In spec' only determines the minimum, NOT the maximum for rent. Therefore
something with +1 and 3000000 rent is 'in spec'

but what martyr is saying(I think) is not to take away plus hit and
dam items, and restrict very effective weapons, but to make
the rent and the dificulty of acquiring(long quest and 1 per char)
reflect the nature of the item, and allow better items in the
game.
At most a character can choose one or two items that are maybe 5k or so in
rent(maybe 8500-15000{old nuada's} for weapons
that complement the characters desired skills. Instead of lowering
the output of dam and hit roll items, and the bonuses of weapons
raise the rent and the difficulty of acquiring.
