Simple suggestion with a simple thread. It currently takes 10 xp levels in order to add vanity lore to items. I suggest lowering it to 1 level. This still allows there to be some cost to vanity colors, while not forcing one to darkroom just to get 10 levels each time.
10 levels is nothing and takes no time to acquire and you can buy it for like 4r MAXIMUM if you cant darkroom/don't want to spend time doing so.
