Has anyone else had this happen?


According to my sales mail, my RIS vendor sold "Knuckles of the Katarn" today. The thing is, I have never had these Knuckles and have definately never stocked them. Because I only stock RIS on this vendor it has a small inventory and I was able to deduce that one pair of RIS boots had actually sold rather than the imaginary knuckles.


Just wondering whether my customer actually got the Knuckles or the boots ....

Hang onto the email and see if it corrects itself after a server reset.

It's possible your vendors have been smuggling weapons that they're getting through Pappi's arms dealing network.

pfft my vendors have been good and not earning money on the side lately, but then I have a 50k entry fee now

sometimes sale emails will be bugged and either only have the item name and not the name you gave the item when crafting, or it'll tell you that you sold some random weapon that's looted or player made. you can try relogging so that it unloads then loads your email again. if it doesn't work the first time, do it a few more until it does. eventually it'll show the correct name.

50k entrance fee you have to be kidding. I won't even pay a 1 credit entry fee when I shop. Entry fees are uncool. Make your money off sales not entry fees.

Maybe she has the entry fee that high for a reason.

Entry fee = a way of getting extra vendor XP

for me, CLOSED until BE tissued clothing crafting is fixed = 50k entry fee. it's just that no one bothers to read the shop sign or the popup. I concluded that people either can't read or don't care, but they still want their money back. go figure...

Thesearethe only reason I have been using entry fees.


Not meaning to hijack, but I'm very new to running vendors.Do people really get that put off by having to pay 1 credit for 2 hours of access?
