There still is a sort of limit, since you cannot drop more than 250 items into any room. Of course there's ways to get around that, which I won't list here, so you can get more than those 247 items into your shop
Quitting so your herbs drop is a "bug", as is splitting a large group of herbs so that you've dropped a group of say, 400, and then split it into 400 groups of one tongue.gif

I assumed that the 250 item limit was not in effect anymore considering how many shops have thousands upon thousands of items in them. (If you are brave, you can also stand above your stockroom and throw the items into the room while hoping no one walks in...)
Shiri2005-03-28 23:39:54
Heh, on Achaea people used to ask me to come into the stockroom with them, and wield stuff and throw it at me so it fell to the floor. biggrin.gif

Now, everyone, just follow the suit if you don't already. laugh.gif

OH - I used to know someone who'd have a loyal follow him into his stockroom, and then throw things at it.. I always thought he was just being mean. sleep.gif
Gwylifar2005-03-29 15:02:15
It takes an extra step to throw them to the loyal and then order him to drop it, but it's worth it. (Of course, if the loyal is sentient, like a doppleganger, you can just give stuff to him and then tell him to drop it, without any balance loss.)

You remove 100 galingale, bringing the total in the Rift to 1900.
3697h, 4408m, 2986e, 10p ex-
You split a group of 100 galingale stems (in your inventory) evenly into 50
groups of 2.
You drop a group of 100 galingale stems.
You may only have 250 items in a room at any time.

um ya, that's the workarounds I was about... the ones I didn't want to mention *chin* So, what about it? Is it about to go away?

I actually considered adjusting the Serenwilde shopkeeping laws to force shopkeepers to obey the 250 items limit but I couldn't figure out a good way to do it without going OOC in a CHELP file orc.gif

I always thought having a room with such huge heaps of non-decaying items is like making the server swallow some lead... guess I was wrong and it's only the wares list?
Richter2005-03-29 20:48:42
Yeah, make it so that shopkeepers have to have less items david. *roll*

I think there are still a few kinks in the system right now, I'm going to go do some testing tonight, see if I can work them out. I have a LOT of stuff priced that doesn't show on wares, and not just because of the wares limit.

I think droping a 1000 herbs bunch, then spliting on the ground, could be considered bug abuse (as the system is set to control 250 items when dropped, but seems it doesn't check once the item is droped how many items are on the ground).
But of course, that's just an opinion.
Richter2005-03-31 18:30:47
Or not.
