Well, I am about to go somewhere, but I am gonna fuck around with it a little bit more when I get home.
What I am gonna do is get the addies to ALL the Rank Restricted GP items in the shop, and then I am gonna freeze them ALL to a certain level and find out what I can do with it. I am gonna think on it some while I am gone(getting stoned) and when I get back, I should hopefully be able to figure SOMETHING out. Whether it's a packet edit, or using a CE to rewrite the values to allow it or I will even try spoofing my EXP or something. IDK yet... I'll keep you guys updated on my quest to buy high ranked items.
