The benefit isn't being able toPLACE the vendor, it is being able to have the vendor make sales for you 23/7. Likewise, the benefit isn't being able to ADD the vendor to the global map, it is the continued listing for days, weeks, months, etc. Merchant skills should be just like every other: drop the skill, lose the benefit.

B) Anyone can use a harvester, but only people with the skill create one. Since a character cannot operate a vendor without first acquiring the skills to place it, it stands to reason that the intention is that only characters with the skill to place the vendor should be able to operate the vendor.
Again, if there was a transfer command (as I have now said three times) for a vendor to be transfered to a non-merchant, then the two situations would be identical....I acknowledge this difference...*sheesh*
How about if Merchants create, personalize and sell vendors to each individual???
Rock-oMessage Edited by ZakkAckerton on 03-05-2004 02:32 PM
There is no need for a "transfer" command for vendors because the purpose of the Merchant profession is NOT to "create, personalize and sell vendors to each individual", it is to operate a business. Thus Merchants get skills that help with the operation of a business. They get advertising. They get reductions in operating costs. They get increasing abilities to customize their 'hired help'. They get the ability to hire more help as they progress through their profession. During the first month or two of the game, people were able to trade vendors to other characters. This issue was fixed, because it was the dev's intention that people have least Business III in the Artisan profession to own/operate vendors. They have had higher ranking priorities until now, but it appears they are finally going to put an end to one of the few situations that allows a character to surrender a skill and retain the benefit of having the skill. You can say that GarVa's comments are 'from a dev, so they don't count', but I dare say that he knows more about it than you.
I am sure glad you can read the Devs minds.......because they have not SAID any of this with regard to their "intentions".
Ok, one last thing: Go to the Skillboxes for Merchant and show me word-for-word which skill that a merchant gets that he can keep after he gives that skillbox up.

READ the Skillbox and the skill. THAT IS WHAT YOU GAIN AND LOOSE!
You can add more to your ideas...but that doesn't change the facts.

Since, I obviously know nothing and you have such a clear understanding of how things are Supposed To Be, there is nothing that I can contribute here. Lets just wait a few months and see what happens.

I am looking into a few template ideas right now. I know for sure I want ranger. What I need some advice on is a vendor. Going up to Business 3 is a hefty amount of skill points. I cannot master a combat profession and ranger and have a vendor. My question is for those of you that sell resources. Do you do this by customer orders or by vendors? Please give me some direction on how to make a biz out of ranger.

A lot of ppl create a vendor, andthen drop the whole tree (the vendor will remain yours, to use as you please).

I have just been paying attention to my servers trade forum. Lots of folks there wanting good hides or talusian herb meat right now. I just offer it to their vendor and they buy. Just this past few days I have collected 52k of Rori wooly hide and sold it for around 4million or so credits. Not too shabby all things considered.
Tomorrow I am just going to get up to around 20-30k of the herb meat out there on Talus and sell it for 100cpu.
But, for me having a vendor isnt necessary. Alot of my resources I sell on the bazaar in stacks of 500-1000 at 6k a stack. And it goes pretty swiftly. Best thing to do is find a Master Merchant who has vendors aplenty and make good with them. Or just build a macro and hawk it around. Quality resources will sell.

I don't use a vendor. I just sell it to people.

I better empty my vendor quickly !!! My Alt is a WS (was a WS) and I set up a vendor this way... Well, maybe I should just drop some Medic and build up Merchant again.
Thanks for the info Kajidax !
