Merchant Archive

Hi i recently mastered merchant but want to purchase a different profession now, i am also a weaponsmith which is not a viable option to drop.

I heard you can drop the entire merchant profession and still keep the vendors?!?! is this true...if yes, that is stupid ...but handy

1. It isn't right.

2. It will probably work fine for now.

3. Many of us hope to change it as soon as we can.

I would like to follow up on the original question. I also need to free up some skill points, I have level 2 in hirin, and am thinking of giving it up (reduciing to level 1). My vendors are Human and Twi'lek. Will they be ok if I surrender the skill, or could I lose the items that they have?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with needing my merch skillpoints back but decided that leaving my vendors up was dishonest, so I am handing off my items to a legitimate merchant to sell. It's a pain in the butt.... alternatively though...

1) Once they fix it, losing all your items will not be good

2) It's just disrespectful to the merchant class to treat it as disposable

In my personal opinion, though, if you need to drop some merchanting skills, the bare minimum you need for a decent shop is advertising 3 and one vendor for each type of item you intend to sell (I forget what that skill line is called). Since I only had enough points for ad 3, what I did about the disgusting clothes is I kept making and deleting an NPC vendor until I got a nice hairy nekked wookiee and that was my vendor. Better than ugly hairdos and pink sweaters.
