PSA: Vendor "Seeds" [Archive]

Dear asshat(s),

Always leave one of an item on a vendor. Fire Beetle Eyes, Meats, eggs, etc.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to kill a vendor? some of them refuse to go down sometimes and waiting for them to respawn to plant seeds on them only to see it gone within a few days and then I have to repeat the process of moving necro alt, killing vendors, and using a valuable piece of froglok meat and hoping that I can at least get a stack out of it.

We dont have an auction house
we dont have a market board
and people just dont save these misc items to sell to people normally

Cut the crap.

So... you sell singles of common items to vendors in the hopes that you can return days later and buy back what others have sold?

Or just kill frogloks ... or whatever it is you're trying to farm ...

Is this what Blue is like?

Writing angry messages at no one in specific about real or imagined slights? Yeah, that’s blue for you.

Probably about as often as people are refreshing to see if they can reply to someone who did some typing about it and carry on :)

I do this occasionally with research pages since they cant really be farmed. either kill the vendor or buy out all of some super cheap item to make room and sell what I want it to stock. Doesnt always work out, but a minor investment that potentially saves a lot of time since it requires no actual work.

I used to vendor mine to get to gem stacks in OOT. I walked out of that zone with 30k doing 57-58 on ranger killing light blue seafuries.

Isn't that what https://www.project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27 is for?? Just think of all the low levels you could help out! If people knew you were hunting for them and saved them for you at later time. you could be the renound fire beetle eye merchant... what else could you want from life honestly.

You're welcome -- though I'm fairly certain we've had this conversation before when I first described vendor gardening. ;) Also, don't get summoned!

If there is another vendor nearby you can just buy junk from one to sell to the other. Get as high charisma as you can, and just buy out the cheap stuff that will sell well to the other vendor.

I agree. Or disagree. Whatever popular opinion requires. Mostly though, I'm pissed that people don't seed their merchants with charged puppet strings.

I tried that but got too time consuming. I got into waiting for guard expers to show up as I sing said vendor to 20% health and command it to attack a GM

For the past few days you folks in freeport/qeynos/grobb/ec/neriak have been cool, either from selling your meats/picks/eyes/skins etc and people leaving one on the vendor.

Thank you.

Emergency edit: There was one ass who bought all the froglok tadpole skins out in both grobb and oggok. You suck.

Gotta love a game where you get called names when you purchase stuff from Npc merchants because it inconveniences others.
