buttons. Typing a
large number of items
works well when you are
dealing with cash.
Once you have
balanced the two sides
of the table with an
equal amount of goods
(or if the trade is in
the favor of the NPC),
then you can press the
OFFER button to make
the offer. If the NPC
accepts, the goods will
be exchanged
automatically. Your new
items will be added to
the top of your
inventory list.
If the NPC does not accept the deal, you need to
place more items on your side of the table or
remove items from his side. Remember to watch the
dollar values of the items at the bottom of the
trading table. Press the OFFER button again when
you have adjusted the trade.
Price Influences
There are many things that will determine the total
value of your goods compared to what the NPC will
barter them for.
Obviously, your Barter skill is the single most
important factor. Remember, the better your Barter
skill, the more you can get for your items.
The Barter skill of the NPC comes into play.
Some NPCs also just charge more for their goods
(shopkeepers for example.)
Your reputation will modify the value of the
trade. Having a good reputation will give you a
better price break.
The NPCs personal reaction to your character
will also modify the value of the goods being
Not all
trade is done by pure
barter. Some of the
towns are printing money
again. Money makes a
great way to store lots
of value, since it is very
light-weight and takes up
no real room in your
inventory. When you
have the chance, convert
your heavy loot into
portable cash.
