Merchant Archive

I ran into a problem after I hit novice merchant last night. I used the work around for my first vendor by trading my vendor to the house owner and then letting him place it. That worked out great (great in the sense that, even though I had admin rights to the house I couldn't place it myself, which is stupid, but at least I could start selling products). Well, now that I could put up an random NPC, I decided to do the same thing. Now, here is where things are pretty screwed. I traded the vendor to him, no problems. But, now when he tried to drop it, it says that he doesn't have permission to the container! His own house! Even worse, he can't trade me the vendor back nor can he destroy the vendor! The vendor now sits in his backpack taking up space and taking up one of my vendor slots doing nothing. Basically, I'm completely screwed out of another vendor until someone helps us with our CS ticket. Quite ridiculous if you ask me. This is a word of warning, and a cry for help. If you get your chance at a second vendor and don't own a house yet, do not trade it to a friend. If you ran into this, and found a way out of it, it would be much appreciated if you helped me out here. Thanks.

Had this same problem last night.

Have your friend offer the NPC vendor to youin your first vendor. Then just buy the NPC vendor object and retrieve it. Another wacky thing, you cant place the NPC vendor once you get it back... Even in your own house. Thankfully you can at least destroy it.

Geez, I love playing such a BUGGED profession.

Can't wait to see how well other skills work. I'm sure as each of us gets a new skill, we will have to bug everything and then wait a month to get it fixed. Oh well, I don't like killing or crafting....

Thanks, I'll give that a shot sometime tonight.
