Shops

The following is a list of shop commands:

     panic shop  

This gives you this screen.

     cost [item] [#]

Cost will tell you how much the vendor wants of the first item [item]. If there are more than one items named item_name, use the [#] argument to get the cost of the #th item called [item].

Example: <cost torch 2> will give you the cost of the 2nd torch.

     value [item] [#]

Value will tell you how much the vendor is willing to pay for the first item called [item name] you have. If you have more than one [item], the [#] argument will tell you how much the vendor is willing to pay for the #th item called [item] you have.

Example: <value sword 4> will give you the amount the vendor is willing to pay for your 4th sword.

     buy [item] [#]

Buy will have you purchase the first item listed called [item] if you have enough money in the right currency. If there is more than one [item] in the shop, the optional [#] argument will have you purchase the #th item listed called [item].

Example: <buy shield 2> will have you purchase the second shield listed

     sell [item] [#]
     sell [item] from [container]
     sell all
     sell all [item]
     sell all [item] from [container]

Sell will have you sell the first item in your inventory with the name [item]. If you have more than one [item], the optional [#] argument will have you sell the #th item named item_name in your inventory. You can also specify "all" items, which will sell all unheld items. Additionally, you can specify a container with "from [container]" to sell only items in a particular container.

Example: <sell shield 3> will have you sell the third shield.

     show [item] [#]

Show will have the vendor give you a closer look at the first item in the store called [item]. If there is more than one [item] in the shop, the optional [#] argument will have the vendor give you a closer look at the #th item in the store called [item].

     list
     list [type]
     list [item]

List gives you a listing of all items for sale in the shop, as well as their fair price. This is not necessarily the price the vendor will charge. You can specify a [type] of weapons, armours, or other to see only equipment of that type. You can also drill down on the weapon and armour types with things like "blade" or "helmet". You can also specify an item name to see only items that match that name.

Example: <list blade> will list all weapons of type blade for sale

Example: <list shield> will list all armours of type shield for sale

Example: <list light> will list all items in the store that respond to the name "light". Thus if you notice the fourth item on the list is the light you want, <buy light 4> will get it for you. Be aware though that another person selling at the same time you are checking this could make it the fifth light.
