How do I use shops ?

Post by calisto » Tue Sep 19, 2017 1:50 am

I'm pretty sure I have not sold a single item with shops. Every time someone takes over my shop and I lose all my items, and what they were worth for selling to an NPC.

Can someone explain to me how to use shops in order to sell items ?
So far I know how to "take over" a shop, put items in it, change prices.
What is the "Make available" option ? I don't understand it.

Hopefully I can put items in a shop without them disapearing caus someone paid 100g to "take over"...

Thank you for your patience.

Make Available puts the shop up for sale.

Put the items in the shop, set your price ( Hint, you can do this by saying the price before putting the item into it) Then wait, if its a temp shop, stay at your shop as it times out after a RL hour of you not checking on it manually ( Aka clicking into the shop) and becomes available to buy.

So if I don't check my shop every RL hour, someone can make all my items vanish by paying 100g ?

If it is a temporary shop, yes. The more permanent shops have (usually) a 7 day time out.

Not vanish per say as take them as legal property. Only temporary shops do this though, as stated above MOST set shops are 7 days without being stolen. I hope it helps.

There are temporary shops. Like the cart in Tower. The shop will have notified how often you must check it in - 1 irl hour is temporary shop. Other mostly have 7 days or so. Maybe these temporary shops should have some kind of warning on them for new people.

Or make it... 3 hours? 1 RL hour is pretty short and ties a character to that spot pretty much.

I think that's kind of the point, it's a place to generate shop based RP easily.
