Talk:Vendor
Evidence for / against Vendors being charmed.
Vendors were nerfed to be immune to charm due to circumstantial evidence (e.g. random posts on eq.crgaming.com - see below)
Nilbog mentioned this nerf could be reverted if anyone could find evidence of a merchant being charmed. This section of discussion is a repository for evidence in one direction or the other.
aforementioned e.g.:
"DOES THIS GET 35'S?, By Tabien (1/28/2001)
The max level is listed as 35, but when trying to charm a merchant (something I've wanted to do since the first one I tried to talk to without hitting "enter"...unfortunately there was an "a" in the phrase!) the other day. I know for certain he is level 35, and he resisted four straight times... and he conned blue. I've never been resisted by a blue more than once, so I wonder if merchants have far higher MR than others? Or is 35 just out of the level range for Beguile? The message was the normal "Your target has resisted the Beguile spell" one; nothing in there about being too high for the spell. Tabien 37 enchanter Quellious" [1]
This was a very controversial change, panned for being lacking in evidence for implementation, so let's see some evidence to have it reverted.
