Expansion Spotlight – Player Vendors and new house type
Today we bring you a little bit of additional information about the new player vendors that will be added to the game with the upcoming “Conquer the Seas" expansion.
To start with, player Vendors are unlocked as house extensions which means you will have to find them before you can add one to your house.
Once you got a hold of the appropriate item it will enable you to have your very own little gnome vendor setting up shop outside your house. Happily counting the money he'll make for you, always on the lookout for potential customers.
You can not only add items to sell and set individual prices for either single objects or stacks of objects, you can create categories and name them to your hearts content so your customers have a more convenient browsing experience.
Adding items to your vendor won't cost any money and you can switch them around, take them off and reprice them at any time. However when you sell an item, a little fee is deducted from the selling price.
For the bloodthirsty among you, no you can't kill those vendors, shush go hunt some newbies!
They can also not be used by other players or friends to sell their own things but you can of course pass on your items to a friend and have him/her sell those items through his/her vendor.
The Vendor will have a limit of items you can put up so the ones among you who probably already thought of using them as banks, will be slightly disappointed.
For buyers:
You will be able to chose to either pay the price for the item directly from your backpack or you can chose to pay more safely from your personal bank account which will however add an additional fee to the price.
To calm some of your concerns about not getting a Vendor yourself:
with the new expansion there will be almost 800 house plots available and as mentioned before, nothing stops you from making a deal with a friend to have him or her sell your items through his/her vendor.
Since we are talking about houses already, the Developers let us in in another little secret:
Additionally to the big feature list there will be a new player owned house type available. We learned that the Keep is a new player owned house that is considerably bigger then the villa. By applying the right items in the Keep, you can increase its friend slots to ten friends, making it an ideal home for small clans or groups of friends. Coupled with the introduction of local house banking and the before mentioned player vendors, village life has never been better.
And with this expansion there will even be another fun way to make some money in your new house but more about this at a later point!
One of the little guys was kind enough to let us take a picture for you!
