They're not live yet, I believe, just regular CRZ. I'm expecting them
to show up in the coming days, or maybe next week, it'll give a little
time to iron out patch bugs before introducing this I guess.

Heh, you can skin coins? That's handy! The place was absolutely
covered in corpses when I arrived so a nice goldmine for any skinner,
shame mine isn't 90 yet.

JC didn't get anything new, as usual (guess what my main's profession
is *sigh*). Neither did alch (guess what my other 90 has...). I think
LW and Inscription are random drops, and one inscription recipe might
be buyable with coins. Doesn't affect me though since all my other
professions are on lvl 85s...
