Spending 50 obsidian on vials that costed 4 platinum each would give you 125 vials, Lightbringer. I'm pretty sure you just disqualified yourself from participating in any discussion concerning economies, real or imagined.

Yeah, it's a third degree honest mistake, note the 1 not printed. Doh for no proofreading and posting on the run.

And to be honest I'm more interested in hearing Dulrik's proposal as to how this IN ANY WAY makes the game more fun

I know I am more for hoarding coins than to spend it in a shop where the cost keeps going up. If I hit my max in the bank, I'll revert to the old fashioned way of keeping money. Burying it somewhere.

Burying is not viable now due to nightly reboot.

I did make changes already to deal with this valid complaint. You can now buy items in multiples and all items you purchase simultaneously will be the same price. No, it doesn't exactly fit your gallon of milk example, but prior to that change, you always had to pay the increasing higher price. Now you can avoid it if you bring the right amount of money and think before buying.


Wait, how do you buy things in multiples? Where did I miss that update?

Oh, and vial price example:
[ 5] A delicate crystal vial - a tiny glass potion
Price: 2 platinum, 9 gold, 5 silver, 9 copper (+5% sales tax).

To buy in multiples, just add the number you want to the buy command:

Code:
[ 9] A roasted centaur oyster - a tiny food
    Price: 2 silver, 5 copper (+5% sales tax).

[HP:100%] [ME: 70%] [PE:100%]
> buy 9 4
You haggle the price down to 7 silver, 2 copper coins.
You buy 4 of a roasted centaur oyster.
Wiston the Innkeeper says to you 'Here is 8 silver in change.'
Wiston the Innkeeper exclaims 'Thank you!'

[HP:100%] [ME: 70%] [PE:100%]
> inv
You are carrying:
     8 silver coins
( 4) a roasted centaur oyster


This is one of the features that went in at the same time as sales tax.

Well, I'll never remember the number order and I'll end up buying 9 of 4 instead of 4 of 9.
