Hiya

I'd like to know what the specific differences between each box are.
Please be detailed since "Vendors have more different looks" or something like that wont help me much with my decision for this skill tree.

Thanks

To avoid confusion and possible flames. I looked in the FAQ and know that more races/botsbecome available per box.
What I'm asking is, what about the clothing? At Novice allvendors seem to wear ugly colored casual stuff.
Does this get better with more hiring skill, and if so what are the exact differences (like: formal dresses at hiring 3, etc..).

Read Draznar's Merchant Guide v 2.5, it will answer all your questions.

At higher levels the npcs don't come with cooler clothes. But at hiring IV you get the option to customize their uniforms with whatever outfits you like.

Hope this answers your question

Thanks Burgundy
So I take it, it's completely random. Sounds like much trying around and waiting for hiring4.

Btw, you actually have to buy or make the clothes to put on the vendor to customize their uniform. To dress them just drag the clothes over their person. You will not get the clothes back even if you remove your vendor. Be careful, if you give your vendor a hat and decide to change your mind later, there is no way to remove it except to give it a different hat.

I have all of my twilek vendors in different bikinis to go with my "beach resort" themed boutique. If you guys ever make it to the kettemor server, feel free to check it out! Location in sig.

I have tried dressing some non-standard NPC vendors, i.e. Ithorians and such, and they cannot recieve clothing. You have t accept what comes on them. Also, a few of the non-standard NPC vendors have only one gender available. This may be that no female or male versions have been seen. I'd sure like to see a female Ithorian, or be able to dress up my male Ithorian vendor.

Hiring 4 is the coolest skill to have in the game.
