Buy from a Trader

To purchase goods from a trader you need to Right Click a trader. This will open a trade (inventory) window that lists all the different types of items the trader has on hand. At this time you need to select the item you wish to purchase, Left Click on the item you wish to purchase, this will take you to the purchase window, here stacks of items will be made available, but only up to what the NPC has forsale. At this point you can Right Click to see the price of the stack, and Left Click to purchase the stack.

At any time you can click the Arrow to return to the item select screen.

Selling to a Trader

To sell to a trader first Left Click the trader, an inventory window will open, drag any item you want to sell to the trader to his window. Close the window. The prices will be caluculated and deposited into your account, any items he doesn't take will be dropped to the group on close. (This is going to be changed, Items the trader takes will be listed, and consumed on drop)

Wallets

To set a wallet you:

/trader setwallet <admin|private|bank <player>|owner|town_bank>

Setting a Wallet to admin will create an ADMIN shop, items will not be removed from the shop on sale, and money will be removed from players bank, but not deposited anywhere.

The NPC will hold any money that he makes, and you can withdraw the money later.

TODO

  • Update this wiki

Discounts

There will be group/player based discounts, they will be percentage based.

Sales Display

Will be changing the way sales are displayed and handled, NPCs will list what they are buying in the inventory window, and players will drop and drop the item to the inventory, and the item will be sold immediately. (This change will trigger a release phase)

Manager/Assistants

Add Managers and Assistants to Shops, Managers and Assistants will be able stock stores, and set prices. Managers will have access to private bank, will look at adding additional banks later. They will not be able to link traders, link chests, or remove/fire NPCs, that will remain available for the owner of the Trader. This will allow for Server Admin to setup traders, and assign Manager Permissions to Players to operate a store.

Rewrite Sell To Player

More efficient and will allow for buystack
