Thread: Vendor idea: category labels

This is what I've done for my vendors:



  1. Create one item in each category (i.e. one shirt, one pants, etc - one in each category for each vendor.)

  2. Label each item **SHIRT INFO** or something to that effect. Asterisks are nice because they bump the item to the top of the list.

  3. Load item into vendor for 9999999 credits. Make sure that you load it in during a normal restock, because you want it to show up on page 1, in categories where there are more than 100 items.

  4. Now put in the item description. "Meh," you say, "I don't want to have to type that out on every restock. You don't have to! Pull up /notepad and type in all your descriptions. Then cut and paste it into your item description:


    • Keymapping: do control o, go to "controls" tab and hit "keymap". Then go to "chat" and for chat copy "rebind" it. Do the same for paste. I use control shift C for copy and control shift V for paste.


Here's an example:


SHIRT INFO


  1. The following shirts are only wearable by females:


    • bustiers

    • low cut top and revealing top

    • bikinis

    • dress blouse

    • sports wrap

    • flared cuff shirt

  2. Items that say "wookiee" in the title are only wearable by wookiees

  3. blah blah

Yeah, but in my experience, people will sort by item name within a category... so it will fly to the top.

Hmm.. But doesn't the page the item appears on have to do with the date the item was created, rather then the date it is loaded in?.. That's what I always thought from my experiences with vendors.. Drives me nuts really.. Really really nuts..

That bargain is too good to be true and it demeans the CH profession because they work through the whole tree without being rewarded much of an advantage.BLAH! TELL IT TO THE MERCHANTS!

Alternatively, you can make some Wookiee pillows and put the info on them
