@Trey for being a super laid-back guy. I took him up on his credit trade offer for 2k credits. I ended up gaining an extra 600 from him for the trade. He didn't get a single talisman piece he was looking for. He took it in stride and even declined my offer of refunding some of his loss. The guy is a rock!

I hope you find, at least, some of what you're looking for before the end of this month.

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but I can't ever find anything with the heraldry charge list search function thing. So I wrote a script and it does exactly what I've always wanted the list to do:

he search albatross

4050      albatross close
4054      albatross's face
4052      albatross displayed
4060      albatross inverted contourny
4059      albatross inverted
4058      albatross's head erased contourny
4057      albatross's head erased
4055      albatross's head couped
4051      albatross close contourny
4049      albatross volant contourny
4048      albatross volant
4053      albatross displayed contourny
4056      albatross's head couped contourny

It uses the same wildcard syntax that nds list does.

he ch list *albatross*

4048: albatross volant
4049: albatross volant contourny
4050: albatross close
4051: albatross close contourny
4052: albatross displayed
4053: albatross displayed contourny
4054: albatross's face

4056: albatross's head couped contourny
4057: albatross's head erased
4058: albatross's head erased contourny
4059: albatross inverted
4060: albatross inverted contourny

this makes me sad. I've been looking through it one at a time for years.

Valkyn · February 2016

Silly Mosr! Should have asked!

Magenta · February 2016

Big props to @Gamden and @Skye for remarkable rescue missions after silly me thought she could tango with the scorpions on Zaphar Isle. Three times in a row. You guys rock and I heart you dearly for it.

Kiet · February 2016

Should've taken me up on my offer!

The wildcard search function isn't as widely known as I would like. Along with the other things I've been trying to communicate with Elpida about, tweaking the heraldry helps is another one (we need to add in REJECT HERALDRY, for example). But yes....for questions, please please please ask on TAHA - we have new masters for a reason (no, I haven't forgotten you, @Valkyn

) @Jonathin - sorry you've been struggling for so long, but hopefully that makes it easier going forward. @Ahmet -

uh. Oh yeah. Raves. Uh uh uh....lots of new nifty shiny things to procure. I've actually been hunting (almost levelling....I'll catch you again at some point, @Miriewand @Bronislav .....and Anai's almost 500 years old. Don't know if I call that a 'rave' but....yeah. it's there! Oh, and family's still awesomesauce. @Gamden, @Garis, @kaiu, @Sneijder, @Czanthria.

to you all.

@Oceana -

for the poke.

Created Vallie to be a throwaway, testing the waters kind of character to see how I'd like Achaea compared to other places.

Cyrene has been so lovely, I don't very much feel like tossing her away!

Thanks for making my stay so enjoyable!

Subject: A new day for shopping
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is now even easier to find items in the various shops around Sapience - DIRECTORY! This command will scan through shops in the current area looking for the specified item.

Looking for a new tunic? DIRECTORY TUNIC will bring up a list of shops selling tunics.
Looking for health refills? DIRECTORY HEALTH will show a list of shops with tuns or vials of health
elixir.

This command can be done from anywhere, and carries a small balance cost.

Penned by My hand on the 13th of Ero, in the year 706 AF.

Yus! No more in and out of every single shop in a city looking for potash.

Antonius · February 2016

Does it also show you the price or do you still need to check them all to find the cheapest?

Ismay · February 2016

Shows prices, item descriptions, and names of shops too. It's very handy.

Loving Mhaldor. Loving Infernal. Love vivisect so RAVE Infernal RAVE Mhaldor

Aerek · February 2016

I had been wondering why no one was playing Infernal lately, particularly DSL. Requires patience, but still one of the deadliest classes around.

Lala · February 2016

OMG! Omg! I've wanted something like this for so long. Yes yes yes!

Exelethril · February 2016

The infernal class has been around for a really long time, @Lala.

Lala · February 2016

@Exelethril Shush you, Mister Snarky

Jukilian · February 2016

I'd prefer a better way of tracking stock in shops with sales, profits, etc

But this is still a great addition!

Vayne · February 2016

I personally do not like this change. I think it detracts from the world.

Gamden · February 2016

Now i dont have to run into each Cyrenian shop doing "wares sigil"...!!Love it!!

Agreed. Still hoping for a shop log. Doesn't have to show who bought stuff. I'd just like to see what sold.

That and it is ultimately going to ruin the marketplace I think. Before you could go through a lot of work building a client base and building a buying habit in them and they would continue to come to your shop even if you weren't the cheapest around because they weren't "shopping" anymore, they were buying. This was possible because if you were the most consistent person at stocking a certain ware people would develop a habit of always coming to you because they know they can get it there when they don't feel like checking every shop every time they needed a health refill to make sure they're getting the absolute best deal. Consistency and long term service as a shopkeeper and marketing would give you success. Now with no effort at all they can buy the cheapest wares, which means everyone is now going to be cutting their prices to be the cheapest until herbs and minerals are selling for 1g each. Marketing your wares is nearly useless now because everyone will see what you're selling without having to ever go to your shop. With wings I can pop into every city and check the price on something in 20 seconds to ensure I am getting the lowest price, where before this would take a good deal of effort and thus cause someone to develop a relationship with certain shops they know stocks what they need.

Another effect is that out-of-the-way and thus less desirable and cheaper shops will benefit tremendously from this. Shops that people paid high-dollar for because they are located in prime shopping areas are going to take a hit because now their proximity to the popular shopping areas doesn't matter anymore because people can check the prices in every shop (including the out of the way shops) instantly with no effort. It no longer matters that your shop is 10 rooms away instead of 3 because now people will see your wares regardless of where it is and will walk the 7 extra rooms to save gold.

Everyone's prices will plummet to the lowest listed price for curatives and enchantments and then will slowly go down as they undercut each other to the point where it is no longer profitable.

But yeah, I think the big downside to this is that you no longer have to learn where to get your supplies from. You just walk into the city and magically know the prices of everything in the city and where to get them at.

Debbie Downer, I know.

This is great for people who don't own shops and people who don't make their IG money from curatives and such, but it is terrible for shopkeepers (except those who had shitty locations). It makes saving your money while shopping much easier, however and it will definitely make combat and hunting cheaper as curative prices drop.
