Shop suggestions

Postby Zolav » Mon Aug 08, 2005 3:24 am

One of the biggest frustrations for me when I was first starting out was that I couldn't really tell what any piece of equipment in the shop was any good. The price wasn't a direct reflection of the items "goodness". So many times I bought something thinking it was good only to find out it sucked and I had dumped 10+ plat into something that wasn't any better than what I found off of a mob.


Return an item:

It would be nice if you could either return the item to the shop keeper. If you were allowed to return it, there would have to be some rules, such as maybe not returning an item as soon as you leave the shop.

Compare an item:

use a command of some sort to compare the shop keepers item in question to your own item of the same wear slot to tell you if it was better than your current item.

Shopkeeper identification:

When higher in level It would be nice to pay a fee to have the shopkeeper identify an item for you, even if it was the cost of an ID scroll. It would save having to buy the item and the scroll and ID it and not be able to return it.


Are you sure Toggle:

I can't tell you how many times I've seen an item and though great.. I wanna buy that and typed buy sword and it grabbed one of the other swords somewhere in the list. It would be nice to have a confirmation of some sort. "Are you sure you want to buy <items short description>?"

The best way to buy an item when there's a long list of potential multiples is to buy by the number of the item on the list.


1. a sword
2. another stinking sword
3. yet another silly sword

"Buy 3" will buy the item third on the list, yet another silly sword.

It would be nice if it forced you to the items list numbers , there there wouldn't be any mistake about it.

I only use numbers in a few situations though...Some shops run out of an item after so many purchases, which means the next item will drop in rank.
