Alternate Currency

[Born2rot]

You add the items to the merchant as a reg merchant. Then switch it over to class 70 i believe it was. Got into the merchant list table and find your merchant's id #. Just go to the row at the end for the alt currency price for each item. Will take a restart to take effect though.


edit: nm just saw your update. Too tired didn't read the whole thing.

Something I did learn through the whole process. I only had half the items on the merchant that I wanted on him, figuring I would finish it once I got the merchant working. After pricing the first half of items in the merchantlist table and then going back, switching the class over to 41 to add the rest of the items and then switching back to class 70, when I went back to the merchantlist table, the pricing I did before was gone. So when I did the second gold merchant, I got all the items on him before I switched him back to class 70 and then did the pricing all at once in the merchantlist table.

for some reason I cant figure out yet, when I change my merchant to class 70, not just that merchant, but all merchants now will not respond to a right click....even the ones that that still have class 41... ugh

Few things:

• The alternate currency ID must exist in `alternate_currency`
• You need to have the Merchant set to class 70 in `npc_types`
• You need to set the npc_types field `alt_currency_id` to the corresponding currency that you wish to use.
• You need to set a alternate currency cost to the items that are in the merchants table
• In order to see the results of adding items to a merchant you must reload the zone
