is there a way to figure out how much of an item a npc has? because they don't tell you how much they buy for so if someone just sold a bunch of items to a npc and you wanted to also, right after, you wouldnt even know what the real price of the product is because you would think what he is giving you is it, when in reality it could be sold for a lot more.

As long as the "How much do you pay for xyz" doesn't work, you simply have to sell your things and hope for good luck, but its getting damm stupid, when all these crafterchars steal from every merchant and you as a figther can't even sell one thing, not even a simple dagger, I hate that, its unfair.

Fighters get cash easily, crafters have to bleed for it.

Don't complain.

Are you kidding me, playing a figther takes much more time then playing a crafter, when I see that a dwarf sells his 50 twohandswords for 18silvers and then see how long an figther takes to get this kind of money, then I think you don't play a figther do you?
Crafting has never the danger of being hurt or get killed nor do the most need to walk very far away, we have a mine right next to trollsbane so miner get their stuff easy, we got several woods around the town aswell, so lumberjacker too get fast money, its all pretty easy for crafter and don't come with the sh*** that figthers can gain money easy and becoming a mage in these time takes forever too.

PLUS: as a mage you have no possibility to gain money at the moment. well you can bitch around... or you can do tricks on the street... or you can summon a demon and let him dance in town and beg people to donate something for a poor mage and his tame demon... or you can sell your soul to a dwarf... or you can summon a sheep, ask someone to get its wool, kill him, rob him and sell the wool.. oh wait, I shouldn't have told that.

For a dwarf to get 50 twohandedswords he would have spent hours and hours mining, then smelting it and losing half of it, and going to mine again ect.

By the tyme you get to make anything of value...

I disagree. I think the word is carpent, because fletching refers only the archery equipment I believe, not fishing rods and other items that require thread.

I guess there are only seeable "levels" in things you can create, like carpentry, smithing, backing and so on, skills who actually have no produce line, like mining, lumberjacking and farming are jsut "getting better" means you can mine better things, get more wood out of a tree or plant plants better, so you get more seeds and so on. Oh and you could press f8 to see how good your skill is already.

Either their calculating the swirlies

Or the new items they can produce

Either way, they're not supposed to

Sounds like an orc, gms are racist so they do not add orc traders...just ones you give axes. Like all orcs have some axe fetish...pff.

But if he is a player he might be around Troll's Bane...

Depends on your skill

Dexterity helps, but you need to have some good skill to be able to craft anything worthwile
