Blowpipes at shops

[biblo 0]

Are they a way to increase them to appear in shops. I have to reset the shops 20 times to get one to show up. I have a level 2 10 20 34 49 57 shopper so far. want to get enough bows and blow pipes to make my new dyrad.

your bargaining skill with hard an soft points needs to be very high as good blowpipes are like Light Sabers. they are out there but rare. your chance of picking one up from a champ or boss is as good as a merchants almost. here is a great thread from our friend Antitrust on how the bargaining and EP skills work.

I skill is high enough that all I see is yellow and just a few blue items, so that isn't the problem. I have been playing for a month or so and never seen a lightsaber. What level do you need to be to start seeing those.

 

My level 20 DM shopper has 20 HD skill points and 25+ skills so well over double his level. my level 10 DM shopper has over 20 skill points also.

Go for triple, quadruple, even the thing for 5X lol and it is not a magic number that says place Peg A. into Hole B. and get widget X. everything in this game seems to be a roll of the dice. a lottery of chance. what all these skill points and modifiers and such do for us is improve our chance. The genius of Sacred2 is that you can not solve it like a Rubiks Cube (which as it turns out is a very simple mathematical trick). you can only hope to understand it a little better and prepare yourself to have a better chance.

 

Having said that, when I played Xbox I had a level 124 Seraphim shopper with almost 400 hours on her. she had over 409 in bargaining. and in that whole time I only found 1 light saber. I had a level 105 Inquisitor with bargaining and never found a single one. a level 65 BFG with bargaining, again zero. my level 105 Dryad had no bargaining and the only blowpipes she ever found were from drops on monsters. and I never found anything I would have considered a great find.

 

And I suppose it should be that way. Imagine a magical pipe that can fire up to 5 projectiles at once in a 360 degree area with zero flight time. yes instant hit. It is a dream come true. not your everyday weapon. So have patience and work those bargaining numbers. Stop at every merchant you can find and have a look in his bag of goodies. You may just find the golden ticket to the Wonka Chocolate Factory

I found 2 lightsabers level 10 since I Posted this. I had in my balance.txt to allow merchant to have more items. I went and put merchants back to normal. I think him having that huge inventoey was blocking some items from showing up. Like I never saw throwing stars in the invy, I have found 2 nice level 10 ones also. I have found 3 level 10 blowpipes and 2 lightsabers. 10 Harp points and 15 soft points total 25 in bargarging. Still haven't found a blowpipe with %DB, but found one 4.1% to digard armor which is good right.

 

Also with that huge inventory they never had batteries for temple guardians now they do, so increasing the invy for shops is a bad thing to do.

yep that is great. As you level there will be some better stuff coming. I only play on closed net. and use LAN to test stuff. the mods are just too tempting for me to edit and change the balance of the game. ends up being not as fun once the novelty wears off.
