I've got a Ranger & Scout vendor in my shop, and I want to make sure I've covered all the bases I can. I want this vendor to be a nice one-stop kind of place, and I want My Fellow Rangers to help figure out what areas I've missed.
This is what I have so far:
- Cases of all types of tents, from Basic to High Tech Field Kit. At least 2 crates of each, with more crates of some of the middle tents (for that push to Master Scout). A few singles, too.
- Cases of traps. 3-6 of phen darts and wire mesh, 4-6 of sharp bone spurs, 10+ of glow-wire and I'm aiming for 10+ of adhesive mesh and 3+ of sonic boombaddas. (The AE ones.) A few singles, too.
- Camo kits: Dathomir, 19-use. (Go go gadget experimentation points!)
What I plan on adding:
- Surveying tools
- Camo kits: Yavin, Endor, maybe Tatooine (think Tuskens), as well as planets with POI badges inside NPCcaves.
- "Scout Holiday" and "Ranger Holiday" kits - backpacks with singles, partial or full crates of tents, traps, camo kits, and edibles. Example: "Ranger Holiday: Dathomir [large]" would have a 5-crate of Field Bases, a crate of glow-wire or adhesive mesh traps, at least 10 uses' worth of camo kits, a 5-use veghash and 5-use jawa beer. "Scout Holiday: Tatooine" would have a 25-crate of High Quality or Multiperson Camps, a crate or two of the lower traps, 5-use veghash and 5-use jawa beer. (Exact contents outlined in item description.)
And what I'll add if I can get suppliers:
- Veghash (crates and singles)
- Jawa beer (crates and singles)
- Ranger- and Scout-aimed BE clothing
Okay. What'm I missing? What would you want to see?

Get fishing poles from an artisan. But the big thing your missing, and i know its odd, is bait. The number one thing pre-pub 10 i got asked for as a ranger was for bait

Well I have a shop, mainly to sell my resources on. I have one just for organics, where I put the hot resource shifts there, and other desired resources.
I also have one for scouting supplies. The idea being camps, camo kits, and some P. dart and Adhesive mesh traps. Also some BE clothing with maks scent/camo bonuses.

FISHING POLES! And BAIT! Great idea. Despite being on Tatooine, I'm sure someone would want.

Luckily my alt (who is my just-need-the-AP-to-get-it Master Merchant) is also an artisan and can make those very poles. Maybe I'll even put a "menu" on there with locations to a couple of our local fishing holes/oasises. (Oasiis?)

I was thinking that too - put the wp of the oasis in the title or description (if possible?).

See if you can hook up with a droid engineer and get some scout droids in there.
Especially trap droids. I've been running around Starsider with my rodian that I'm looking to turn into a master ranger/fencer for weeks, casually looking about on Tatooine and Corellia for trap droids. I haven't seen one.
Not that I'm sure that a fencer/ranger can get much benefit out of a trap-spamming droid, but I've really been itching to experiment in any method of gaining xp besides 'get buffed, get armored, go to dantooine'.

There's a Master Droidsmith around the corner from my shop; I'd rather do a pointer to him than sublet, easier for us both. He's on the map, but pointing to him might still be a good idea. When I finally get Master Merchant (I've got everything but the AP :/) I want to set up a 3P0 droid as an "Information & Menu" center thingy.

How about putting some non-ch mounts up for sale, always feels more "Rangery" on the back of a critter whilst on the hunt. And some Ranger skill/armor attachments can be handy too.

Sounds like a cool shop! Crates of camps and traps is a big plus, and crates of veghash if you can manage to supply some. Those are the things I'd buy most of.
Maybe some vehicle customization kits, as well. I usually run or ride a mount, but whenever I pull out my speeder I always wish I'd remembered to pick up a coloring kit somewhere -- I like the earthy/camo tones.

How about resources that Rangers use but cannot acquire on their own, such as cheap metal for bases, cheap polymer for certain traps (Adhesive Mesh, I believe). That would bring Hyro in, were he on your server.If you have the collaboration or are interested in retail, you might purchase Ranger-mod SEAs and Bioengineered clothing to sell in your one-stop-Ranger-shop location.
