It was originally done in version 2.0 , so I did a fresh install using 2.0(with the patch). It does not include the itemsbld.txt file, and runs fine without it. I put BT on top of that, and the shop has items that seem in line with BT. There was no itemsbld.txt file in there.

KSS, sounding groovy! :P

So, will your script allow our crew to (T)alk the Shoppe owner down, down, down?? :D

Yeah--I grew to dig the archeritectural aspects of playing DW.. like to equip my guys in back with bows/arrows & help whale away.. save some MP's & it quickens play.

So, how'bout some hints re where this shop hangs its shingle? :wink: 8)

Not only you WON'T be able to talk the prices down but, (to quote the shop owner), they will be exorbitant...

And the location is sekret; you'll have to wander the Rennibister streets to get a start.

*Growler slams all 3 eyes shut!* (jest in case)

So is this z clew (itself a riddle)??
"And the location is sekret; you'll have to wander the Rennibister streets to get a start." 8)

As Growler is wont to type, "Patience cometh to them that weights."

Be there room fur uno more item?

Type: Shield
Name: Shield of Sunlight
TypeID: ???
Description: A very special small Round Shield shimmering with the Blinding plus Healing Power of the Sun.
StatEffect: -7 AC
StatEffect: +1 DX
Effect: Regenerates 2 HP
Class: Mo Wa Ar Ba Ro Ra Pa Pk
Use: Casts BLLI
Charges: 42
Location: shield
Value: 42000
Shop: valor.dat 1

#all but Barbarian & Saurian (too dum) and Ele since El gets BLLI as a Pyro

Could make this craftable with the following..

CreationSkill: Magical Armor
Recipe: 1 RounShield
Recipe: 1 feather
Recipe: 5 Power
Recipe: 20 Light
# would have to add "Ingredient: 1 RoundShield" to the Round Shield item

for (1) air/feather, does it matter whether you put 'feather' or 'air'?
I've seen it both ways for a single unit.. tho kinda seems 'feather' would be better for a single unit, and 'air' better for more than 1 unit..

Curious.. is it possible for an item to cast/invoke a Bard Song sans Bard?
That would be swell to have a touch of the Bard even in a Bardless crew.

will 'Effect: Regenerates: 1 SP' work for an item that is not restricted to Ar El Pa?
only similar ex I could find was Bobbit Wand - which Regens -1 SP and is for 'all' classes.. so assuming it's OK?

don't be a hater, cheney.

if you'd put energy into coming up with new items here, I'd gladly support your efforts.

in fact, why not put up some stuff?
