Item ID

[Prurk]

So I GMed a character's Item ID a while back before leaving. Saved me lots of money on ID wands. However, since returning I notice that if I use item ID the item is only Identified to me. EVen my other characters don't know what properties the magic items have. Does this persist through vendors?

ie: if I used the Item ID skill on a magic axe of power, would that axe display the power suffix, or would it read "a magic axe" on the vendor?

It would just day a magic axe. Ppl would have to take your word that it's an axe of power.

Shame that changed. Oh well

Also, remember to ID stuff before you sell it to an NPC, and sell it on the char that IDd the item to get the full price.

As for people having to trust you when selling items on a vendor, if they don't trust you they can always just ID the item themselves before purchasing.

There are actually 3 things you can do to maximise profits from npcs.

Item id the item.

Have the character join the npc's guild

Have a high amount of fame/karma

Those three things will yield you a higher price when selling wares to an npc.

Have the character join the npc's guild

Would joining the merchant guild yield a higher profit with all of the different merchants? That is if the merchant guild exists at all... I know there is a merchant guildmaster... ;)

I'd be curious the Merchant Guildmaster as well. I'm going to find one and try it.

Despite this character being GM Item ID and cooking, I hate to think of them as my item seller. He can cook your cake and poison it too! He is worth something!

[Safir]

My Item ID char is my seller. I have special runebooks on that character for whatever needs to be sold.

You can only be a member of 1 npc guild at a time i believe

I'd be curious the Merchant Guildmaster as well. I'm going to find one and try it.

If anyone has some results on this, please post them here. ;)

If I go little bit off-topic... What's the advantage if you join NPC guild? For example fighters guild, or that merchants guild..
