Money and trading: prices, traders, orders and Likes

The Town's other currency

Prices, purses and restocks

Prices move

For most goods, the more of an item a merchant holds, the lower its price, and a merchant pays three quarters of that price for what it buys, never more than the base price. Some goods always sell to a merchant for their full base price: Burial Certificates, Town Gratitude, fish, fishing rods, bags, zombie collars and most tools, swords, pikes and armor.

Special goods

Every merchant has its own goods to buy and sell, some of them special to that merchant.

Restocks

Merchant stocks refresh over time. At most merchants a higher tier adds goods.

The Likes bar

Selling items marked with the Likes label fills a progress bar at that trader; each time it reaches 100% the Keeper gains one Like. Only a limited number of each item counts toward the bar each week.

The Town's other currency

Likes limit

Restoring a Town house gives Green Scrolls once. Linda takes them on Lust (the first time she is asked "New people?", on any day) to attract new people, raising Town quality and with it the maximum Likes limit: first four one-time offers (1, 3, 10 and 10 people, at Linda's reputation 10, 10, 20 and 30), then, from reputation 40, "Attract 1 new person", "Attract 5 new people" or "Attract 10 new people" for 1, 5 or 10 scrolls, as often as wanted.

Urgent orders

An urgent order is completed only when its full amount is in the crates at the same moment; a regular order adds up what is delivered over several weeks.

Delivering orders

Goods for orders go into the crates of the Town Warehouse and the Warehouse Cellar and are taken for the accepted orders as they arrive. A finished order's goods are paid at their base price at the order board; everything else left in the crates is sold at its base price at the start of every Pride.

Order rewards

10 to 80 Likes per order, more with the Happy supplier perk
