Increase the value of an unsold item.

That is - uncursing an item for sale? Tried that, doesn't work. Shopkeepers chuckle evilly then say: "Now you owe even more! But thanks, anyway".

That's too close to save-scumming. Ruins the fun. Restoring a dead character is always kinda reusing a condom, if you pardon me.

Morio: Merchants guild is just who the shopkeepers work for, i know how to owe *them* money (just pick up store potions with poison hands, or wands with mana magnet and youll have to pay the shopkeeper extra because "you owe the merchants guild <blah> gold pieces for recking their stock)
But i am also curios as to how exactly to get them to owe *me* money.

Will do some research on RGRA...

Edit: I believe it has to do with Poison Hands corruption. Poison is, of course, quite a low-valued potion, but there are some potions with even lower values (not sure which ones). Touch one of those with Poison Hands, and you ought to increase its value by turning it to poison.

Unholy water, perhaps ? Or plain water. IIRC plain water is valued at <10 GP so poison could indeed be more valuable.

TheTimpen, well, I *do*. It's like the whole Universe collapsing on you :-)

No, really, restoring the character and going through the places you've already been to, knowing they were different with the very same character and stuff... Ugh, I don't like the feeling, even if you have a crash as an excuse. Still resembles those save-scumming days too much.


Iridia, J., wouldn't scrolls of IMA/IMD work too I wonder? It's obvious that simply increasing the value of the item doesn't work, so there might me a *special* scenario, like the one involving poison hands... Still, I feel this is somewhat incoherent on TB's side...

You could always *bless* an unsold item, that should work.

Well, as I said, uncursing cursed items doesn't work. Why blessing uncursed should? I'd bet you'd see the same "Now you owe even more! But thanks, anyway".

First of all, spellcasters often have that Remove Curse in abundance (I, personally, have never ran out of it once I found it). Second, the idea is not to win some money, but to have 'cheated merchant's guild' or whatever it was on your accomplishments list.

Well dunno about winning gold, if the item is extremely valuable and you bless it (if it works) I bet it would give a lot more money than the prize of 1 holy water

Handling potions with poisoned hands (or turning potions into poison).....if the price of the poison is greater than the price of the original potion will cause the merchants guild to owe you money.

Be careful with handling wands in stores with mana battery corruption.

Yeah, this can be especially nasty when picking up unidentified WoWi at Casino... Ugh, horrors!

only a fool doesn't know that WoW is always a glowing wand, therefore even if it's unidentified you should know it's a wow :E

I've never had a WoWi that was a glowing wand. I ahve found two WoWis, and they have been two silver wands. I think. But I'm sure they weren't glowing.
