Have a vendor that has been in place for quite a while now. Was checking it and saw that it no longer had Merchant Discount applied like all my other structures and such get. So I add Credits and still it does not show discounted. I am still a Master Merchant and have never given up the skill. Am I losing my mind cause I could swear that vendors also recieved the discount rate when we were able to do so. Just double checking myself before I submit a ticket on the matter.



Ahazi Server is where this vendor resides.

Discounts are calculated in the maintenance cost and do not show the % discount in their status window the way structures do.

Hmmm... ok.. thought they did must be losing my mind then either that or it is just too late.


So this would be correct maintenance values for the vendor for a Master Merchant(still not up on how vendor maint is calculated )


Condition: 100%

Maintenance Rate: 9

Maintenance Pool: 12136 (56 days, 4 hours, 26 mins, 40 secs)

Vendor Search: Enabled

Yes, that would be correct if your vendor is not visible on the planetary map.

There is no maintenance change to list with the global search.

Yeah it is not listed on planetary map. Is there anywhere that lists the forumla for how maintenance is calculated on a vendor ? As in the math formula. An thanks for the info I guess I am just losing my mind tonight and thinking that it did show up on vendor for the discount like it does with all my structures.

I think its 15 credits if its not on the map and 18 creds if its on the map, if you're Novice Merchant (well Advertising 3 at least for the map)
As Master Merchant you get a discount of 40%, which results in 9 and 10 credits.
At Efficiency 2 (I think) the discount is 20%, so its 12 and 14 credits.

Don't think there are other variables that influence the maintainance costs.
