Quicksilver Merchant

I was in the Anomaly on my main normal save and a player asked for a void egg. I went to purchase one and I was unable to buy the thing. It showed the cost as “Available” not the 3200 quicksilver I believe I remember it cost. I have not tried to buy a void egg in a very long time. I already own all the blueprint items so I can’t verify the cost of those. The fireworks also show “available” but no cost. Only the myth beacon has a price on it. But I can’t buy anything and I don’t hear “Item Received” after the circle completes. I’ve had nothing to but with quicksilver for a very long time, but I still do a lot of missions. I have about 38,000 quicksilver at the moment.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I checked my Permadeath save and the purchase price also says “available” but I was able to get a void egg without it costing any quicksilver.

Correction: I have been buying the Community Research items as they become available.

Any Items you have gotten before, are available on your account to other Characters you create. (Yes, I have had the same situation)

I have collected all expedition rewarxs except the Vector. On the regular purchas list, the void egg and fireworks were the only things I could still purchase. But now I can't purchase those. And only on this one save.

Key Word: "Available"... You already OWN It, so you can't Buy it again. You should just be able to Take It. I have done that with the Armor Sets for Three Characters I started new.

I understand what you are saying. What I think is being missed is that on all my other saves: Creative, Permadeath, Survival and Expedition, I actually hear "Collectible Received" and the Void Eggs are in my inventory. On my main, and only, Normal save, the circle completes and I hear nothing. And there is no egg in my inventory. I don't receive the egg.

On this Normal save, I have only ever gotten 2 void eggs and completed the quests to get the living ships. I should be able to get more, but I can't.

Note: I now have some in my inventory. I got 10 on my Xbox Normal save and gifted them to myself.

The Egg is not a Collectible Item...?? I would post a question about it in the Bug Report Section, and ask why you can't get it again..

I was looking at a couple of my own Characters... Though I Bought the Egg with One, it is NOT Available for me on any that I looked at. I Could BUY Them with the other characters, 1 to 1,000 of them with enough Quicksilver, but I think your problem is a Bug that says it is "Available" to you...
