Hmm.. after trying out some test merchant lists with only a few items in them, they work OK every time, so it is definitely a problem with my DB, not a bug.
What I think it may be is items with zero value (many items that had a value in earlier item DBs don't with the newest DB).
Anyway I'm completely revising my merchant lists, now that all the EQLive items are available.
No luck with sorting out the loot problems yet though.
About NPCs helping you, though, I definitely remember in earlier EQEmu versions that only allied (faction 1000+) NPCs would assist you in combat, so it isn't a missing feature.
