Hello everyone! I have a really annoying problem: I joined the Awanaked and I have reduced, by selling a lot of useless things, to 0 all shop's money! Now I cannot sell other things (I'm clearing the Taker lands now, and I found a lot of Iron Breastplates!)... For solve the problem, I'm buying all useful things in the shops (like potions, thorns, javelins...) for give them some golds, but then I sell other things, so the money will return to zero again! When this will happen, what I will have to do? I don't think there are many shops left in Takers' lands... -------------------- Download Geneforge 4: Rebellion You have 6 posts.

This is an unfortunate feature of GF2. The shops do run out of money, and you buying things from them won't give them more cash. Aside from altering the scripts to make a pillar or other such location to give you cash (or using one of the trainers) there is no way to get anymore money. Just go to every town and sell your things until they all run out of money. Since training is expensive it might be wise to buy two levels of whatever skill from the trainers before using canisters and book. Also, being selective as far as what training to buy will help.

Don't forget about the shops in Obeyer lands (in addition to the ones in drypeak, there are a couple farmers in nearby areas, whom you can trade with). If you don't care which sect you support (or if you plan on joining takers later), you can quit Awakened to be able to use Barzite shops. Aside from that, your only option is to avoid angering Takers until you empty all shops in their lands. If you play as unallied, you can use all shops in the game and most of them will still run out of gold, so joining awakened early wasn't very good for maximizing your item-selling potential. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Do be sure to sell gemstones and emeralds only to the Fort Muck dude. He rips you off, but he never runs out of money. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

You're down to selling to special characters (that only take gems, iron etc). If you really depleted all the shops of coins, that's just how it is. Can't imagine why you'd even need more money, though ... even trainers can't cost that much. Don't worry. All GF3 traders have bottomless pockets. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

quote:Yes, the lands near the start. There is a farmer in one of the areas who asks you to find his lost servile. After checking the Shrodinger's faq, I see that the farmer I was thinking about is in The Craigs area and his servile is in the Crystal Caverns.

And that's the reason why I always wait before joining a sect. For example, as soon as I started playing GF2 I knew I would joined the Awanaked, but I didn't actually join until later, much later. After I sold everything I needed from the other sects, since I knew that they would run out of cash, and I def didn't start killing people until the very end. By the time all shops ran out of money I had a good deal of my own and didn't care much for it. I would say that you could always cheat and get out of being an Awanaked, sell all your stuff and then join again, but that's up to you. Btw quote:I haven't played GF2 in a while, but I thought that you buying things from them did give them money. Not much, since they rob you, but some. -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

It has been a while, so I'll try it again. Edit: Well, I'll be, they rip you off pretty bad but they do gain money when you sell to them. Wonder was I was thinking of. [ Monday, May 15, 2006 08:41: Message edited by: Miya ] Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

That referred to selling your items to the shop owners. In which case it doesn't matter who you sell them to, they all pay the same low rates. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

Most Drakons aren't greedy for anything other than power, with the notable exception of Orios Blaze. If you expand it to Drayks, there's also that weird, old, Drayk, who lived near Darian, who would trade you canisters and equiqment, in exchange for part of your life force. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 193 | Registered: Thursday, April 6 2006 07:00 |

But I'm too smart for them; I never plan ahead! I think that Drayk you're talking about is Rhakkus, or Akkat. One of the GF2 leaders. Does anyone know for sure? -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

Syros is the leader of the Takers in Geneforge 2. (The leader in the sense that he is the one you go to join the Takers.) Originally by Nick Ringer: quote:Bah! I am above such things as interesting post counts. And if you believe that, Dikiyoba has Northbridge to sell you. It's a little old and it still a few mines on it, but it's still a great deal. Only 3000 gold. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
