Got an issue with customers not accepting weapons.
So for example:
Customer wants a (Non specified metal) One Hand hammer with Uncommon Grip and Morning Star Head.
I offer him a requested weapon made of Mythril (as it's best I can afford now), but he doesn't accept it.
Had this issue 3 times with different weapons, but the common is
- Non specified metal
- One handed
- Uncommon grip
- Special request

Note that if a customer doesn't specify metal (like "I need Great Sword") he accepts weapon made of ANY metal under  Mythril and including it.
P.S. As I checked forum a bit, it seems like they might have requested alloys? In that case, as they accept Mythril, they must have requested Steel when no metal type given.

Yea if you get non-specific specified grip - Just dismiss them - They're currently no good to you, just a waste of parts (well I mean you'll get exp but yeah)

It seems all alloys are scripted somehow above Titanium, while not quite actually being so.

Example:

If you have an Alloy hammer - any, alloy hammer - Customers will request anything "That hammer or below" - same with any other hammer - But even if its a Brass hammer - You'll get fairly high level requests, possibly even sometimes titanium requests.

But at the same time.

Brass can only mine so much

Bronze can only mine so much

and Steel can mine up to I believe Mithril - Not 100% sure on that - I might have tested and mentioned in a different post, but can't recollect it.


So they act like they're better metals than Titanium

They Perform like they're about what you'd expect from their alloy components

But then after all that.

They Sell like they don't exist yet. - No price seems to be set for them, despite being above titanium seemingly

And then there are times when it would seem like they /do/ have their own specific levels ... Like....

Okay remember I said brass sometimes gets Titanium requests?

Well if they requested "brass" (no specified metal) - despite brass allowing for titanium requests

You wouldn't be able to give them a titanium item.

but as long as they didn't specify grip/head - You could give them anything brass can mine.  <- (I believe, and, that's what it /should/ be. what it can mine is what it can sell and what customers should ask for, nothing more)


Anywho.

If they break into specifics of head/grip - 9/10 of the times, just send them away, they usually not worth the trouble.

Switching to a Mithril/Titanium/Etc hammer may reduce the number of "blank" requests you get - This is both a blessing and a curse - as a nonspecific-unspecified request can be milked for all the possible coins - and sometimes the requests you want can be few and far inbetween. - and of course, the thing we were just talking about is the curse.

Thanks for a reply.

Btw steel mines up to Mythril and not Titanium, not sure about Adamantine. Bronze mines up to Iron. Dunno about brass, as I've never found Zink in here. Does it even exist?

Oh I know they  alloy picks don't mine up to Titanium - but the Alloy hammers cause Customers to Buy up to Alloy - which believes itself to be higher than Titanium.

I don't think Zinc ore actually exists, At least, I haven't found it yet either - but Brass Ingots can be found at random - There's a specific spot on the map that has a chance of generating 2 grips, 1 grip 1 random any ingot, or 2 ingots (any)  - Every reload. - There's a chance to get titanium steel etc. - literally any ingot.

I tried to clarify that I think - That The Picks can only mine up to a very limited seemingly accurate level - Like That's what allll the levels should be.

But the Hammer cause Customers to pop in asking for everything under the sun. - though It doesn't always let you sell titanium to the "Blank" (no metal type) orders. - which I assume means that not every "blank" is the same and not every alloy will "accept" titanium - Like I would assume Brass wouldn't, but even though Steel can't mine titanium, steel seems to be able to accept titanium - And both brass and steel hammers would allow customers to ask for titanium, specifically.
