Housing what the manuals dont say

Bleri McThrust · Post by **Bleri McThrust** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 3:33 pm

With the upcoming release of Foundations I started to look at a few fatcs and figures. Trouble is what I found was poorly documented and very scattered.

So after a bit more digging I started putting together a simple web page to cover the bits that the manual doesnt say. This isnt designed to replace the manual but compliment it

Im currently waiting to hear from GoA regarding things like, will we have 3 zones or 4 and what price will the reverse auction drop per hour. Also theres no knowing what sort of "Herald" info we will get.

Anyways here is Bleri's Guide to Housing Ver 0.5 Let me know what you think, or if theres anything youd like to see added.

What I do not get is how this merchant (Consignment merchant?) works that sell mine goods, and how much stuff can I place in the for sale part?

Does this merchant take a "merchant slot" ?

And is a bind stone one of the "item" slots (that you have 50) or something else?

And I see each merchant sell 1 type of scroll, so you need 4 merchants? or can you let 1 merchant sell all 4 scrolls?

Can you also "dress" the merchants? Give them cloth and stuff? Would be nice to give each merchant a guild cloak and stuff.

5 pages of 20 - 100 slots, like normal merchants are these days

No it takes its own place inside your porch, dont forget to buy a porch deed

Also remember only 1 CM per house regardless of size.

And is a bind stone one of the "item" slots (that you have 50) or something else?

A Bindstone has its own Hookpoint within the house.

And I see each merchant sell 1 type of scroll, so you need 4 merchants? or can you let 1 merchant sell all 4 scrolls?

Sadly in 1.63 you need 4 Merchants

Can you also "dress" the merchants? Give them cloth and stuff? Would be nice to give each merchant a guild cloak and stuff.

Lol I never thought about that Im sure Ive read somewhere that Guild houses have Guild banners but dont quote me on that.

can't change the merchants as far as I know but guild banners on the inside and outside are quite possible

Hehe cool.

I think you might find though that the answer comes back the same as with the current decoration limits

So the poor merchant has to stay outside on the porch - rather like a door-to-door salesman eh?
