Merchant Archive

I read that, as the game is currently coded, you can get novice merchant, place your two NPC vendors, and then surrender novice merchant and nothing will happen to your vendors. Is this true?

If so, is it going to be the same after the patch. In other words, if I surrender novice merchant, will one of my vendors go *poof* after the match? Has anyone tried this on test center?

Finally, have maintenance rates for NPC vendors been changed on test center? If so, are they cheaper than the droid vendoryou get at business iv, thus makingnovice merchant a valuable skill to hang on to?

Right now you keep theNPC vendor even if you surrender the skill.

However, every merchant is screaming with every fiber of their soul to get this bug corrected so expect that at some point, your vendors may poof. Not sure if this will be fixed in the next big patch or not as there are still lots of undocumented changes in it on the Test.

Same holds true for the broken maintenance charges that the NPC vendors charge. It is just a matter of time before this is fixed. Whether it is fixed in the big patch or not is still not known.

Yeah, I imagine it must be frustrating. I will hold on to novice merchant until we see how this is all going to pan out.
