Shopkeeper wants a cage for the bugs I found.
« on: June 25, 2009, 11:55:44 pm »

Alright, so I'm using the Look command to dig up beetles and worms, however the shopkeeper will only accept them inside a cage. This leads to two questions:
1. Where do I buy a cage?
2. Will the guy who sells the cages accept uncaged critters?
3. Is it possible to find something that isn't alive when using the Look Carefully command?

1. You cant buy cages, only way to get them is to make a fort, abandon and visit it with your adventurer.
2. N/A
3. Not that I know, but I dont use it often.

Have you tried to stuff them in a quiver or backpack?

My character is a nonstandard 'Play Now!' entity, meaning that they started with no equipment and no skills.

You could retire in a town to get clothes, start a fort in the same world (near the town), make cages, and then use those.

Heehehe, I can just imaging the shopkeeper being all freaked out at some naked adventurer who is all covered in mud and blood, trying to sell him a bunch of bugs and worms.

While playing a modded kobold adventurer I killed many a shopkeeper throwing bugs hehe.

If your looking to make some money I'd suggest you take a quest and steal all the junk that semi/full-megabeasts collect then sell that at the shops, I'd avoid going into the caves though unless your reasonably skilled in combat.
