Merchant skills

treehut · 04-04-2001, 07:21 AM

My impression is that once my assassin received the Merchant Skill, the game opens up entirely. Money is no longer an issue and I can buy everything, I mean everything, I need. I can buy special arrows from the dojo and sell them back at enormous profits. Is the Merchant Skill that powerful or did I tap into a "previously unrecognized feature" of the game? (My level - I have yet to complete both the Dragon Spire and the Boogre's Prison.)

If you mean the buying and selling arrows trick, no that one was known. Having the merchant skill makes the scheme even better.

Part of what I was saying is that after hours of struggling and saving every skull, arrow, and bow I could find to sell for paltry sums of money, it seems like a let down to get money so easily now. A major part of the game, at least the way I was playing it, patch and all, was no cheats. Now I almost feel guilty having all this money. To me this is a MAJOR milestone of the game which no one seems to refer to.

Money should not be any issue in W&W: use the "Inn Feature". I started the game with 2000000 of gold. The sum allowed me to forget gold completely. The easiness of getting such sums in the inn makes the Merchant skill a bit unessential. As far as cheating is concerned, does it matter whether we use the "Inn Feature" or the "Stupid Shopkeep Feature"?
