Loki's Recommendation on Shopkeepers
- Shopkeepers should be level-appropriate to the area they are in, so as to not skew the WHERE utility.
- Shopkeepers should generally have a short rejuvenation rate to ensure they are available to other players when needed.
- To avoid players farming shopkeepers for experience, consider using Prop_ModExperience with a factor of 50% or lower.
- In general, shopkeepers should be attackable. Special quest point vendors or starting zone shopkeepers may benefit from Prop_SafePet, but in general avoid this property on shopkeepers because it will negate many thieving abilities.
- For attackable shopkeepers, consider lowering their armor value (tougher) by 50%. If they have a base armor score of 50, take it down to 25. If they have an armor of -100, take it down to -200. Alternatively, you can do this with gear that may be bound to the shopkeeper (so a skilled thief could strip away the armor).
- For attackable shopkeepers, considering lowering their damage value by 50% (making them weaker), increase their hit points by 300%, grant a 25% (or more) save vs magic, and decrease their attack by their level. This will make fights with shopkeepers take significantly longer, regardless of spell damage or physical damage...which may give more time for local law enforcement to arrive.
- Players are very clever, and will often move your shopkeepers around. For this reason, it is highly recommended to provide all shopkeepers with the WanderHomeLater effect. This will enable them to return to their spot when not escorted by a player (such as under a charm spell).
- Prop_NoOrdering, Prop_Resistance with specific abilities, and Spell_Anchor are other good effects to limit the kidnapping of shopkeepers.
Notes
- When making shopkeepers, consider having a very large stock of any basic items (like torches or rations in a starting zone) or a high inventory rejuv rate.
