Why is the shop keep being such a stingy bastard? The sword I want says it's 5Γ...I don't even know what that means...I tried giving him 146*. Assuming maybe there's some discrepancy between the two difference currencies(?), I tried to trade an item that also said it was 5Γ. Looking up ANYTHING on the wiki concerning Adventure Mode is like trying to pull my own tooth out with two spoons and a handle of Jack.

Can someone set me right on this please? I'm clearly doing something wrong, and this snippy little shopkeep is pretty close to giving me everything for free, if you know what I mean.

Can you give us some hints by providing a screenshot? Tileset or ASCII. I never heard of such prices.

Though you hit the nail by mentioning the currencies. Right now all the gold becomes useless junk when you're shopping in different civ markets. There realy should be a currency converting system, with moneychangers in towns.

... Thats weight i believe...

[Necalli]

Yeah, that's... weight >_>
(it's in the graphic set I use)

Anyways, read some hints about trading on Magmawiki.
One special hint though: if you can't get a price on selected shop items (by offering a minimum), it's because you don't have enough money. The same works vice versa (asking for maximum), only that shops usually have plenty of gold to show prices of even the most valuable items in your posession.

It all makes sense now.

Not that I don't appreciate the awesomeness of this game (especially being as it's, you know, free), but currency has to have one of the most insane designs in this game. Next thing I have to learn is where and how to modify the raw files for adventure mode. There's all sorts of cheats/hacks that work with DF, but testing out things like knapping in Adventure Mode is slow-going with the current attributes my characters get.

Speaking of which, anyone know how to get better "sharp rocks" from knapping? My first character managed to make all kinds of quality rocks, but my new character can't get anything but the vanilla rocks, no matter how high his skill gets.

There are plenty of aventure mode cheats, and sharpened rocks are actually pretty random...

Spoiler: list_cheats (click to show/hide)

From an outcast at generation, go to a shop town (+ in Ascii) find a shop that is selling any kind of backpack (cheaper is better since quality doesnt effect it at all) drop one weapon on an empty floor space in the shop, grab the backpack and (w)ear it, go back to the weapon and spam (g)rab, (b)second choice till your speed is below 500(less is betterish)-(a key spam program would make this heaven), tal(k) to the anyone in the shop and go into trade spam down(arrow) enter(return) until you have come back around to your still held weapon, then either click the backpack to just have money or press (t)rade and exit out and spam (t)hrow (t)soil enter(return) till all the soil is out, then buy the backpack, one of every weapon skill type, and armor+sheild, and then go find some quests or a nice beach to train your swimming for a river fish killing spree...because you must cheat.

I'm actually only looking to up skills to figure out what increases knapping, and to what degree. I'm sure I'll find other uses for modding skills/attributes, but I'm trying to just use it right now to get a better grasp on how some skills work, and with what attributes.

I'm just really obsessed with knapping right now, because it makes absolutely no sense to me. I once made 10 of the "finely-crafted" sharpened rocks in a row, then I made 1000 with a macro program on another character with nearly hidentical stats, and I didn't get a single one.
