I'm with LM. If he has the information (and he's one of the rare players anal enough and cunning enough to get into the Imms heads when they go hiding wands) let him bust the info wide-open ICly. He may as well start sending notes to all or note to cabal. None of those methods break rules and while the locations will be moved and have to be found again, it'll continue that way until either the sets are put back in, the wands are completely removed from the game or it's entirely rebalanced some other way.

For instance I'm really partial to thieves and bards even if I'm not yet really good at either. But I'd like to actually make a real go at a conjurer. Given how much I hate exploration due to the mix of old and new areas, generic tedium, and Detect Artifact still being level 51, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Instead I'll just keep picking up tidbits from whatever mage allies I get who still have sleeks.

You have three locations out of ####ing potentially 50 or 60 in the entire game even removing the locations your ethos will prevent you from getting. Those are ####ing terrible odds no matter how simple/complicated each individual location is.
