Merchant Archive

You used to be able to drop Merchant skills and keep existing vendors. Is this still true post-patch, and will it continue to be true?

It is currently true. I hope it doesn't remain true much longer but that is up to the dev team. Having you be able to continue to run vendors without merchant skills is a complete slap in the face to everyone with merchant skills.

Yes. I am told that it will be fixed real soon - you will need to have Merchant skills to manage Vendors in he future... so if you drop your merchant skills, you will not be able to use your vendors, which makes perfect sense to me - we worked hard to get it in the first place!

Yea that has to stop. It is just not fair and there are only a few other professions that have anything remotely like this for skill perk abuse.

Actually, you can drop Efficiency IV and still get the reduced rate for structures - at least I am.

It's nice having it...but I suspect they'll fix it shortly.
