New Profession [Merchant]

[Dielan9999]

What if everyone could make shops for gold ingots, stone variants, and wood variants. And leave the rest of the items for merchants?

 

[Tyronus]

I think they should be able to make shops for other people but they get the xp for anything bought from that shop.

Exploiting would be so very easy for rich players - exp won't be granted for sales.

I helped fix that initially last map.
Tyronus is it really a good idea to give someone the ability to make a stick shop in another players name that buys sticks for 1000c?

Danda is right. That system is easily exploited.

Not that I did it as a Joke to IDKHowtoplay last map <.< >.>
(gave him the money back right away of course )

Love this, but when can they start to make them, lvl 50? And what would be if any the specs of this class.

I asked the creator of chest shop plugin for something like this and a few other things, he is looking into it. AND btw says its possible! and this was a month or more back so this may be almost ready.

exp for selling goods in chest shops would be very exploitable if two merchants just kept selling goods back and forth between each other.

something however, that would be very neat would be if merchants had the ability to see a log of transactions to/from their money balance. (basically see what has been traded since last time they logged on) This could also apply to sales to/from their shops.

I like the Crafter Chest shop only idea, as in

1. I like the tiered level for shops per item.
2. I'm a huge fan of the cost per shop setup and 50% refund when destroyed currently in use and I think it should continue.
3. being able to sell junk for trival amounts of coin would be fun.
4. Black market idea is interesting, it would need a random failure rate, so people trying to get high end items would sometimes just loose out... (what you mean I got a block of dirt I ordered a glowstone!!!) dam you Ebay!
5. sorting transactions for day per sales and purchases. (ive had days where this feature would be so helpful when I've bought and sold 10k and had to search for what it was, (dam you wool sellers!)

6. I got more I need to think.

BUT, not a huge fan on instant transfers from inv. I smell exploits and issues, and server looses out forcing people to travel, aka unhappy pk players...

I could not agree with you more on that one..

Is it possible to charge coin with a skill?
My Idea is Coin Toss a weak attack that charges the merchant coins and it slows its target confusing them.
Longer slow at higher levels and costs more money to perform. Maybe at 50 have Coin fury which throws coins in all directions confusing all enemies around you and slowing them.
This gives a small bonus to the player picking merchant as a crafter class for a small slow to get away if they have items they were selling in town and get jumped.

While I like the idea I feel that crafters should be just that and have little to no combat utility.

Zombies, spiders, skeletons, creepers, and endermen dont care for coins. They want your soul!

Merchants aren't combat classes, they will not have an 'attack' or combat style role

But what will become of non-specced crafter. They're biggest Boon was chest shop.

wars get disarm and rogues sneak, maybe something of similar "power", woodcutting or something, though I'd say crafters would get that not at lvl1 but higher.

That skill scales as they level up.

@Airbus101 will be making 80% of this profession.

 

[Kainzo]

Added first draft from Airbus for skill nodes. Dear god its a long list.

 

[ChunkyM0nk3y]

How about kind of a gamble for merchants?
They could either get something that they can make a button that charges you money when you press it so they can make dispensers slot machines,
or some kind of a raffle system, unlocked at higher levels.
They could make money with it and it would add more fun

What do you think?
