Where do I find shops?
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:33:15 pm »
Yes, I read the wiki.
Yes, I'm in a town.
But I've been wandering for 20 minutes and still can't find a shopkeeper :/

Forgotten Beasts seem to be akin to Toady playing Russian Roulette with your fortress, as they can be anything from harmless giant worms made of mud to necrotic-gas spewing nigh-invunerable iron hydras of doom.

Are you sure it's not a Hamlet instead of a town

I found it, just now finally :L
Another question.
I bought copper greaves, but I can't wear them? The only other lower body item I have on is a dress, I assume it should layer, but I unequipped it and I still can't wear the greaves?

Large :S
does it matter?
Also do I get a penalty if my companions die? Like I won't get a ghost or anything right?

If they have a size descriptor, they're for a different race.
No penalty for dead compainions.

Did you happen to sell a container, like a bag? It could have had all the money in it.

Go to the drop menu, and see what occupies your hands. Drop something, if you're using Genesis, kill something and make a backpack from it's leather. If not, go buy a backpack from a shop and put it on.

Yes, you can store items only in free hands or bags, if you have no bag and your hands are busy you can't pick anything up.

Actually, if you have a waterskin congrulations. Press I when close to a pool and select "fill with stagnant salt water", if it is not already. Them sell the water(not the waterskin) until you get 10 copper/1 silver. Then buy a backpack.


Also, want a tip on how to get fast money? Buy a barrel(or make it from wood if you are using Genesis) and fill it(by the I, also remember that to fill a barrel it must be on your hand). Now sell stacks of 100 salty water and buy/craft barrels and now you have a water corporation! Sell, buy, mwhahaha so much money!  :o

If you dont have waterskin, just sell some dirt to the shopkeeper and wait until you have 10$(1 silver, or 10 copper).
