Merchant Killing

[Nilstoniakrath]

Went to buy some spells in the far remote regions of the Erudin library the other day and someone who knew I shouldn't be wasting my plat on such nonsense was thankfully clearing the library of all the spell merchants. As I thanked my lucky stars that I only wasted the port tip to get there, on the boat ride back to Qeynos, I wondered what other merchants had polluted Norrath long enough - but aren't merchants nerfed so that killing them gives no xp or loot?

I’ve seen a couple in another zone leave corpses, I presume by design. . .

Merchants not giving EXP is lame and if you kill even one npc inside of a city you become KOS to everything in it and it should become a fully itemized dungeon w/ rare spawns for you to grind in.

And you should be able to raise faction in the city by killing rare spawns and doing quests in enemy cities.

Well, it looks like Erudin has a respawn time of 24 minutes, so it might have been worth it to just chill, kill some mobs, explore, or log out for 24 minutes. https://wiki.project1999.com/Erudin

And yes, there is no exp nor loot from killing merchants on P99 anymore.

One thing that's always worth doing is communicating. You can ask the person killing XYZ how long they'll be doing it for, or if they can leave a mob alone so you can buy from it, or do a quest turn-in to it, before they resume killing.

this would happen less if quakes flushed a merchants inventory
