Title: Calise, Ilsare temple vendor
Post by: Atomsk on February 11, 2006, 11:12:00 AM

The first number is the individual price, the second is the price of a stack, and third is the cost if you bought a stack by buying individuals.
Healing Kit +1 - 18g, 131g, 126g //stacks of 7
Healing Kit +3 - 46g, 327g, 322g //stacks of 7
Cure Light Wounds - 18g, 180g, 180g //stacks of 10
Cure Moderate Wounds - 60g, 608g, 600g //stacks of 10

I'm not one to say that Calise or the temple is trying to take advantage of people, but I thought it curious that the prices differ accordingly.  Either they're trying to make extra money on a stack, or the numbers are posted incorrectly because the Cure Light Wounds potion numbers work out, but none of the others do.  Just a strange occurance I noticed. *winks and walks off*

//thought I'd also mention my merchant reaction was unfavorable, but I wouldn't think that'd make a strange variance in numbers like this..maybe it would.

This is because the price is an integer.

A stack of 10 cure mods costs 608.  Each cure mod costs 60.8 but since its an integer everything after the decimal place gets dropped so you save .8gp per potion buying them individually since you can't have .8gp and bioware didn't implement a gold/silver/copper coinage system.

Though they totally should've.

Any way to do that in the code?

I've always liked gold/silver/copper maybe even platinum for money.  That'd be neat.

As far as the decimal, is there a way to just round it up?

Calise and all temple vendors lovingly wrap their stacks of healkits/potions in silk of their deity's colours.  This added touch is the slight price difference...

Yeah...that's why one of them doesn't cost more and the others do >.>

I'd rather pay the extra 8 than click 10+ times.  I consider it a convenience fee. :P

Yeah, because some of us aren't penny-pinchers.

Now, how to get that wrapping off as quickly as the simple tie, before? *Meanders off to wonder if the kits are actually different colours, in-game.*
