Planar Vendor

[Cahaal]

Quoted from change log:
Planar Vendor:

A new vendor was put into the planes - along with a new randomized portal system to get there. Here's how it works:

- Several maps (2-3) in each plane have a spawn location for a portal that will take you to the vendor. These portals will always appear at the same location, but their spawn times are fairly random. Some will appear only in the day or night, some all the time, but they will all have a delay in their spawn times. Once you enter the map, they might take a few minutes to actually appear and once they do, they'll stay open for 1-3 minutes. To make camping these portals more difficult, there's a chance they won't spawn at all...
- Once you enter the planar vendor, you're given a Return Token. When you exit the planar vendor through the portal, the return token is used to send you back to where you came from.
- The portal entrances to the planar vendor I tried to put in 'logical' places. If you want to figure out where they are, think about where a planar vendor interested in commerce (or thievery) would want to put down a portal. In some places, I've added hints to where the portal might appear...

The planar vendor sells up to Imbued Mithril items and specializes in ammo and throwing weapons: he sells all ammo and throwing weapons that drop in the game.


Can we please get an update to the planar vendor items. The bullets and throwing stars would be very appropriate and arrows and bolts could use an update also. Thank you for your time.

I think Lorkar is trying to subtly hit at something...... I'm not sure what at though.

I agree with Cahaal having some more ammo for slings etc would be good as there are some very good arrows in that store but it seems the other types of ranged weapon loose out compared.

[Lorkar]

I am hinting to the older players, and by older I mean the ones here as long as I have been or longer, that when you get frustrated and burned out there are other places to go for a while.
Now if they could merge NS4 and Avlis it would rock without comparison, the PvP of NS4 and the size, crafting and questing of Avlis.

So basically you're just trying to hijack the thread Lorkar. Stop spamming the forums, either reply to the topic posted or post your own thread.

I agree, the selection of everything but arrows (and even them to an extent) is very poor. And drops in plains are slim to none. You could farm Posi for days and get less than 100 energy orbs. Same with death arrows, drider arrows, and all other decent ammunition. Change log states that all dropped ammunition can be bought, I think it should be.

[VagaStorm]

Could prices be discussed to. Those arrowas can be realy costly...

[Lokey]

See what bioware prices ammo at. It's a crime.

[Cahaal]

Can we expect an update to the Planar Vendor then?

[Korr]

It would be nice to be able to use more than corrosive bullets on a sling toon or IA bullets which will get nullified by bludgeoning gear by the time youre level 30 anyway. If we could darkfire ammo or something that would help the IA bullets. But then youre talking about memorizing 10 darkfires atleast.

[Shadowalker]

Here is a thought.. dont laugh.. Fletchers... yes I said Fletchers... know any? course not..

But what if Fletchers could make epic ammo? for an appropriate cost ofcourse.. (and by epic, something comprable to availble arrows)

To simple? ok then make the ammo contain a dmg type by faction as with clerics..


Dont want ammo manufacturing to get out of hand? Ok.. make the ammo undropable.. that prevents players/guilds from making multiple Fletchers in the various factions.

[Cahaal]

The cost of one stack of ammo from a fletcher is insane not to mention the time requirements to get them. It's much cheaper to get better ammo from the planar store. The fletcher's ammo has can't match the damage from planar items. Fletcher is the most useless crafter.

[deathdancer]

I would agree. I think fletching itself needs to be looked, at it is way behind compared to the

others. You don't believe me try it.

I guess I was too sublte.. but that exactly the point I was making.

[mgrjebbo]

Ok so its settled there needs to be changes to fletchers. I dont like the idea of a non-drop ammo however. Crafters a meant to spread their craft not just make a barn full of stuff for themselves.

Anyway that all being said who want's to Dev it up?

[Jacks Revenge]

I would like to see the Planar Store vendor to have better bullets, and darts, even handaxes, I would probably use any of the ammo types more if i could get decent ones easier then farming.

[Korr]

Oh yeah more handaxes!!! Pure pally zen archer here I come ';)


I concur about the planar store. . . lame unless ur arrow hunting
