Elbert Nermarc No Longer Restocks

[ShadowX116]

My brother and I are on a LAN server that I host. We went over to Elbert to buy his restocking Grand Soul Gems, but he won't restock them. Other NPCs which provided instant restocking have ceased doing so.

We have tried selecting Elbert, sethealth 0. and resurrecting him which took a few tries, but eventually made him restock for a short while. Today I cannot use the commands on him (or anyone) at all and I'm not sure why. My staff rank is set to 3, and I can still use other commands such as spawning items. Deleting the Crafting Hall to force a file regen does not fix it.

The only thing I can think of that might've caused issue is that we were both looking in his barter menu when my brother bought the gems. Other NPCs did not break until today, after the server was shut down.

This is a very frustrating bug, especially since many resources are limited without restocking. :(

Please read the FAQ. It tells you very clearly that merchants do not restock by default.

That's very odd considering they were doing exactly that before we spoke to Elbert. Only after that did they stop.

My post very clearly tells you the other merchants were restocking just fine before.
Whether that's a quirk of LAN play, one of our few mods, or something else in the back neither of us is aware of, I don't know.

figured this out, do sethealth 0 on ur npc, then ressurect it, and it'll restock now.

I did that, but it stopped working.

Instead what I did was go into his stock and set his respawning items to an absurdly high number. Same with the temple ladies that sell alchemy supplies.
