crystals/gems stopped appearing in vendors

[Krom]

(*EDIT*) clearing tower of fangs lower route from main quest line seems to fix this..
(!EDIT!2) problem seems to persist and re-appear after a gem is purchased anywhere
now! sloted junk gems can be seen in gear from vendors; hopefully this cursed
quest script can be purged at some point..

Related to veritas mine; ran a merchant guild quest there.. Bought a
few gems from miners/workers in mine for dirt cheap, then all of a sudden
the last buy set their inventory to zero; now every shop on entire world map
will not sell them?!

is there a console command or file fix to remedy this?

actualy i can tell you a bit about this issue as i experimented with some time ago. from what ive seen i belive you can buy one crystal per level and when you do merchants will no longer stock it untill you level up, this only affects crystals not slotted, but they level up with you, so when youre high level youre likely to buy high level crystal so better choose wisely. i tested it using cheats changing levels with commands does indeed allow to buy more of them, however when you play flying pirates dlc ghost merchants seem to be unaffected by this rule. though anyway you dont need many gems to finish the game.

my advice is each time you level up buy desired yellow stat crystal as they are the most useful, or reload untill you see a few on sale that you want so you can grab them before restock.

Thx for info/testing;

Probly was like that before the mine no idea though since I was new to the game and
did not bother buying gems much off world vendors.. became clear fast something was
going on with the shop gems past that point.
