I'll just give them equipment out of my backpack, I have 10 enchanted weapons and like 20 pieces of enchanted armor.

500 to 1000 is not even worth running all the way back to a merchant for me. As I said I've not bought one piece of equipment yet. Heck don't even use potions now that I have 3 healing. Never even need that usually as most NPC's are dead from range before they even touch me.

I've already got legendary monk's armor out of some locked chest. Also have some legendary leggings (forget which) as well off a creature I believe. And the rest is Heroic. Not even using the legendary leggings as I have a different set with better enchantment and charm added stats.

I don't even take most loot anymore as it's just a hassle sorting thru it all and then finding a merchant.

As for the runners I'm just slapping on them whatever I have I'm not buying them special armor and weapons. Don't have the runners yet but I suspect I'll hardly use them either. Heck I have 51 greater healing potions and over 100 lesser I never use so those just keeps building up.
Have over 100 of most plants. Never use those either, they just keep building up. Only hard plant to find is Black rose, only have 13 of those.
