Sorting Vendors

Players can sort their vendors displaying by clicking the Left / Right "Sort By" buttons. Players can sort vendors by the following Filters:

	Sorting Options Item Count (total Items in vendor's backpack) Contract End (will show "Renew" if contract is set to Renew) Last Restock (last time an item was added) Gold Stored (how much gold vendor is holding) Player Name (the name of the Landlord / Renter) Shop Name Vendor Name

View Vendor Info

• Players can click the Blue Diamond button next to each vendor to launch the normal Vendor Info Menu that players would normally view when double-clicking that vendor in person
• In the Vendor Info menu players can make adjustments to their Vendor's Settings or Contract
• If the player is out of range of the Vendor, they are not allowed to use the "View Goods" button but can perform all other features remotely including Collecting Gold or Dismissing it

Vendor Tracking

• Players can click the "House" small orb button next to each vendor to view a Map of the vendor's location as well as receiving a Tracking Arrow directing the player to its location

Guild Discount

• Players now have the option to make their Vendors sell their goods to "Everyone" or to "Guild Only" (only members of their guild)
• Players can additionally specify a Guild Discount for vendors that lowers the price of goods sold to members of that player's own guild
• The "Guild" for a vendor will always refer to the guild the Vendor Owner belongs to, and not the guild associated with the house where the vendor is located at (if one has been set)

• Players can select a Guild Discount anywhere from 0 to 100%
• If a player has changed the Availability or Discount levels for a Vendor, it will display that information overhead when single-clicking the Vendor

• If a Vendor is set to "Guild Only", players who are not in the Vendor Owner's guild will not be able to view the vendor's goods and will not be allowed to buy them
• Players who are not in the guild will also not see the Guild Discount % if one is set

• If a Guild Discount is set for a vendor, single-clicking the item will display the normal price, but the Purchase Item menu will show the adjusted price and the Guild Discount % the player is receiving for the item

Miscellaneous

• Although you may interact with a vendor from a distance (e.g. change name and appearance), you must be near the vendor to place items in their backpack
• To dismiss a vendor, their backpack must be empty
  • Dismissing a vendor will require the owner to place another contract in that spot
• If your vendor falls due to lack of funds, the goods will go to the vendor owners bank box
  • If it puts the item count over 125, it will queue the items, they'll need to be removed before you can use the bank box
