Thread: Merchant Tent questions
Does anyone have answers to the following questions?
1) Are Merchant Tents buildable outside of Player Cities?
2) Can you drop items in a Merchant Tent?
I am curious because I think it would be cool if I could have a Merchant Tent placed next to my house. I would use the house for crafting and strage, and the tent for my vendor and a few decorations.
Thanks!
The answer to all of your questions is Yes! You can place items inside, you dont need to be in a player city to place and you can declare residence...oh and it takes up 1 lot. I hope this helps

Merchant Tent FAQ:
Can tents be placed outside of a player city?
Yes, they can. My tent right now is just outside the perimeter (currently) of a player city. They act as a small house deed would, so they can be placed anywhere. (within reason)
Can I declare residency at my tent?
Yes. It acts like a normal house in every way EXCEPT for the fact that it always stays public.
Can you drop items in a Merchant Tent?
Yes. Right now there seems to be a display bug where items you put in 'disappear' to you and to others. But confirmed, they do reappear, so just be patient with them. As a caution though, don't place anything too valuable yet.
How many lots does it take?
1 lot. It's just short ofa 3x3 footprint, about the size of a Naboo round.
How many vendors can I place in a tent?
As many as you want, Merchant skill permitting. Any type of vendor can be placed in a tent.
It says I lack the skill to own the building. What's this mean?
Means you don't have the Merchant skill Efficiency IV, structures.
Can someone else place a tent for me and admin me to it?
Yes. Someone with Eff IV can place a tent and admin someone else to it, and they receive the same full rights as they would on a house, including the ability to drop vendors. However, keep in mind you are still renting a lot from the person with Eff IV.
What colors do tents come in?
Tents come in three colors. The default (the deed listed with no color) is a mild, wood-like brown. The grey is a soft, almost blue, grey. The green is a muted emerald. All feature the same two hanging yellow lights out front. Any color can be placed on any planet.
I'm on a mount, and the tent interior displays as red like a private house. Why?
All buildings are automatically private while riding a mount. You need to /dismount first, and then enter. Can tents be built outside player cities?
Thanks for the information!
I was able to drop a tent and check it out last night.

Can tents hold 75 items the way the 1-lot Naboo house can? I don't want to waste the lots on a house, but I could use a place for a vendor and some item storage.
