Misjbar always wore dwarf leather. Is that a problem for anyone?

Yes, the dwarf.

Let's just say it wont happen for a while. They are too busy fixing more important things.

Tell me a price for 10 arrows. 20-30 copper? I will see what I can do.

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 9:14 pm

Eliza's price --> 10 arrows 50 coins....

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 9:16 pm

20 Copper, I would say.

Crossbow bolts? Wind arrows? How about those?

Oh I like Eliza's prices at the moment.. If your in the know you can find arrows for far cheaper...

You can find cheap arrows, and they restock pretty fast too.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 1:29 pm

"if you are in the known" great for you who knows *rolls with his eyes*

Gro'bl, your description of it sounds like a bug-using <_<

Crossbow bolts and windarrows, haven't seen them yet ingame, don't know if they exist.

Since when is buying things from an npc bug using?

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:31 pm

i didn'T said that, i just emant it SOUNDS like bugusing.

"find cheap arrows, restore pretty soon", you understand?

"Crossbow bolts and windarrows, haven't seen them yet ingame, don't know if they exist."

They exsist, trust me. And, I believe windarrows can be made very easily. Atleast, I think so. *wink wink*

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 5:35 pm

If you use your brain you can make wind arrows..

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 6:28 pm

Where can you buy them??? from that elf (elenas)?? he seems to buy bows....

Crossbow bolts exist... wind arrows...never seen them... do they require thread?

Don't you just add wind potion to regular arrows?

Last time i had checked... 4 days ago.. they were 5 coins PER arrow....

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 7:20 pm

I meant 20 for ten arrows <_<...read everything, not just one post

OK, 20 cp for 10 arrows as a basic price, acknowledged. Crossbow bolts, hmm, 30 cp? Wind arrows... 50 cp?

Is that the order of magnitude you have in mind?

Ellaron · Post by **Ellaron** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:08 pm

Maybe I've missed something but 20 cp for 10 arrows seems too cheap.

For each arrow you are looking at :
1 plank = 2 cp,
1 string = 1 cp (sometimes 2 cp)
so that's at least 3 cp per arrow. Even at 30 cp for 10 arrows there's no profit for carpenters. Either the price needs to be around 40 cp for 10 or we need to be able to get more arrows for each plank and string.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:41 pm

Thats right, and often you pay even 3 copper for a string!

But as long as there will be no change in the producing it would be good to have a change by the trader, so that archers may have the possibility to make a living.

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:48 pm

Better to create a new type of arrow... sold only by salespeople... and that would be more fair on those who bought the expensive ones....

Adano Eles · Post by **Adano Eles** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:50 pm

I'm not sure creating a new item would be less work then properly balancing the production cycle of the existing arrows.

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:11 pm

Maybe... but for example my character has 55 arrows.... if you work out their cost.. it calculates to be around 260 coins...

Immagine the price dropped.... it would be unfair to those who have arrows...

Dónal Mason · Post by **Dónal Mason** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:12 pm

Accept it. Maybe Eliza might decide that her prices are unfair and drop them. It's ROLEPLAY.

Adano Eles · Post by **Adano Eles** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:15 pm

We all had to accept that years of work on skill and item numbers just vanished into thin air. At the moment Illarion is in a stage of rebalancing and, honestly, shit happens.
