Help with traders
« on: September 14, 2009, 11:13:55 am »

In Adventure mode, every trader I try wont trade with me even if I give them a huge offer in the favor.

ie. I tryed to buy a iron whip for 82 with a jaguar corpse worth 250. All I get is 'These _are_ fine items aren't they? Now, What do you offer for them?' No matter hoe many times I world gen or clean install I get the traders who hate me.

Any help will be appreciated.

That's not worth you're looking at.

That's weight.

I don't know how to check worth in adventurer mode except for asking for the price.

Adventure mode shopping is not really near perfect yet, I'd say it(And the whole of adventure mode) is a work in progress.

Just a note though, corpses are worth exactly 0, no exception, so as Vester said, you are probably looking at the weight.

Try burning the corpse, and then throw it at someone, it's a very effective weapon.

-I have no real experience in adventure mode past burning things and throwing things.

What kind of statues are your masons making, that you think they have "maximum exposure"?

If you want to buy something, offer 1 dwarfbuck for it. If you want to sell something, ask 9999 dwarfbucks for it. In both cases, they'll respond with the item's actual value.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
