As the subject says, i have like 5 vendors up, terminals... If i drop merchant will they just vanish or will they stay there until i go up in merchant again?

Because i'm planning on dropping it and then re-doing it.

They won't vanish immediately.
Once you no longer have the skills to support your item/vendor limit, you will be unable to place items on sale.
With no items on sale your vendors will eventually poof.

I did a respec a little while ago, from master merchant / master architect to master merchant / master tilor. I did this by removing all my skills then re-selecting box's. Then I went to my mall and all but 2 of my vendors poofed! No big thing really as I did not have much on them, but is something to think about if you are thinking about doing this...

I had 2500+ items on my vendor, then i completely dropped everything. No Artisan at all anymore, but vendor is still there and stuff still stocked... for now ... i'll find a way to store that somehow

To add a bit to the original question: Suppose I were to go up the hiring tree, place the nice slim vendors (my personal favorites) surrender the hiring skills in favor of management (while never exceeding my vendor or item limit) would my chosen vendor style be affected?


The only rule I have "violated" is having vendors of a style I can "no longer" place.



Any thoughts?

climbing one tree for placement of one vendor type


then another for dressing


and dropping them to climb a different one is actually common practice for dabblers.


just keep item/vendor count in check while doing so and you should be fine


Most commonly people climb for NPCs, place em, drop the line and climb for uniforms, dress em, drop the line and climb for item count





stop looking at me

At this time, nothing would happen.
However, that could change at any time in the future.

Thanks for the replies. I know its kinda cheesy and underhanded. I just wish there were better looking vendors at the bottom rung. But being a Master Chef/BE doesn't leave a lot of skillpoints for "frills" and such. Guess I'll just try and make really good product for a good price. Thats what sells anyway, content, not the package.



Thanks,


Avam.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.

Hm... it doesnt look like it will change any time in the future... with the new merchant buff people get a legal way to place Vendors above their skill...
