Purpose of shops / vendors

[Kattz]

Other than look what are the uses of shops.?..items to buy are soooo expensive and the return on selling things is almost pointless.

[Lord Fiq]

I think the player-based economy will come soon. The tools are now almost in place (i.e. player booths, horse wagons, travelling merchants, etc). For a start, coffee has a buff now so there might be some demand for it. Seems to me the devs are slowly working this out.

what selling?my merchants won't buy anything

Merchants do buy things. Before they fixed the clothing prices I made a lot of money making shirts and selling them to the tailor.

So just the tailor buys stuff? That is so lame. The general store shoudl be buying stuff

I only did the tailor when the shirts was selling for 80 each til they fix it. (I made over 75K doing that) I have sold guns to the gunsmith. Horses sell for 50-100 each. To low so I did not bother. I was able to sell seeds back just to give it a try.

The gun vendor also buys guns n ammo. Don't forget your gold guns as they can turn a fight in your favor quickly and they more than pay for themselves. Try the gold double barrel in the mines you won't be sorry. The Fur Trader buys pelts. I'm sure other vendors will buy their specific product as the game develops.

right now the gun shop buys guns, just drag an drop anywhere on the interact screen. make clothes an sell to tailor, even the rawhide shirt is worth 20. the pelts animals give make that daniel boone hat sells for 15, raise cotton an make shirts free then take to tailor, bandits guns to gun shop.
the hunting store only gives u 1 dollar for pelts so make the boone hat an sell to tailor.
all those shops should an probably will in future buy stuff like the milk an butter you make, booze to saloon from your still-just tried it, saloon AND general store will not buy ANYthing.
horses can be caught an sold too.
it adds up, first 750 u get buy the T2 mine an get that gold an silver.

I beg to differ, Yes gold guns have the most damage, but for the mines, I prefer the gold bootleg shorty shotgun- And it melee's with R click. also I used the sword down there, just dont step back an give them a chance, stay in their face swinging.

Now you know why over 4,000 people quit playing this game. There is absolutely zero logic behind many of the decisions being made with this game's development. It's the same old song and broken dance pretty much every single month with these companies. Note that Wandering Wizard is tied to Snail (as a subsidiary company). Anyone who's been around video gaming for any length of time knows exactly what Snail is all about. They're not your friend and they're definitely not good for gaming. More prefabs, more animation tweaking, a few minor bug fixes and a whole slew of much more important things (like the controls that have been broken since launch day for example) remain unfixed.

Bad game design has been normalized and even more so in Early Access since nobody is held accountable for their actions. Valve's Early Access hands off approach protects companies in such a way that their software does not need to meet any significant quality control standards other than 'it runs'.

Support bad game development and you get bad games. It's as simple as it gets.

Agree with all that.

The gun shop buys arrows as well, at least it's something to do with all that stone. 1 stone + 1 wood = $1. I have a macro set up on my gaming keyboard so at least I won't wear my mouse out!!

[Wyld45]

Buy your President for 10,000. to iron out the Chinese Trade.

[BlackLabrador]

For the record. Does anyone know which merchants will buy stuff in single player?

I'm sure they will find some way to screw that up too now that you pointed it out. They did it with the miners, with the taxidermist, with the tailor, etc. People found a way to make easier money because the grind is so ridiculously stupid and poof - it's taken away. They change things with extremism. It's as though they want to punish the players for finding a way to enjoy the game better.

I don't think you can compare a real grind to get $1 per item to $800 for a couple of cotton as it was. No, they won't alter this.

if everything is so bad, than go away!!!, stop pestering us negative nancy!!
just go play a other game, and let us who wanna play this, do so without that constant negativity!, your constant negative behavior will just cause more people to lose faith/hope. thus decreasing the player base even more!

thank you!.
