Thread: NPC Vendor Status. **edit**!!
I put yesterday a NPC vendor and payed 1000cr in manteinance..... And it says 2 days of manteinance!!!
When did they change this?
It went in on Thursday's publish. It was listed on the TC changesfor a couple weeks and then it went live with everything else, along with the duration increase from 7 to 30 days (but so far it just seems to be items made after the patch that can be put up for 30 days -- hope they fix that).
I just dropped 10k on each of my vendors and now they have 27 days...
10000 k will give you over 40 days if you have Efficiency IV.
Merchant got a fair amount of love in the patch - so I'm somewhat less broken. 
Iguess this is how it was intended all along, to give people incentive or desire to go higher in merchant.
I may have to start looking into it myself now.
Yeah, this was the way it was supposed to be all along. We lucked out having to pay virtually nothing for our NPC vendors for so long...but then again, with all the nonsense that was broken with vendors, it seemed like a fair tradeoff to me.
Now that I don't have to log in every morning to put my vendors on the planetary map, and now that ad-barking seems to actually work, I guess it's fair that I'm payinga fair amount to have them.
I don't know but one of mine was at 12% (condition/decay whatever you call it); It wanted 13,000+/- to get it back to rights... the weird thing was I always paid my vendors (just in case somethign like this patch happened, I was fairly paranoid about it). This was one of my newer ones too. Anyway, I put 20k in it, just to be sure it didn't go poof and it did its usually wait-to-see-if-the-maintenance had any effect thing. (It doesn't update the vendor status for a fair bit, I'm not sure why.)
So I go back this morning and my vendor is at 100% condition with 19k maintenace (not minus the 13k it wanted to repair it). *shrugs* Just a weird tid bit. At least it is working now!

Thank god for that. Registering my vendors to the planet map every day was really really **edit** tedious.
So am I, on Radiant, the only chef who's vendors still need to be reregistered every day? I pull up the map and no Delusionne Delicacies listed... so I run to my two shops and turn them off and then back on just like before the patch, every day

Delusionne, I believe it was mentioned somewhere that you need to unregister, disable ad barking, re-enable, then re-register. That makes it stick.
