Can't sell shields

I have made all the shields out there and none of the people will buy them, they take the sword, but never the shield. I fully completed them in the crafting area, but none sell, this normal? or am I bugged?

Developer

Hey Rexer400, 

Ill have an update that fixes some of these issues i believe next week. But yes that version there were still some issues with the shields.

I've never had an issue with a customer who asked for a shield, not accepting the type of shield requested (heater, circle, tower) - Clarify - Are they "not selling" but actually ARE selling, and the customer just isn't leaving, or are they not selling, not even being looked at, at all.

Also. While I have no place to be able to say it otherwise (it's not like I can make or opt for a sticky thread) in the very very current version - If you do get a customer who wants a shield

Only give them the shield, after they've accepted it, and it alone, tell them to go away.

They aren't fond of giving back what they've already taken, and will simply pay for what you've managed to give them. - This allows you to keep playing.

If you give them both items - they will actually Freeze currently (issue mentioned at start of post) Likely because there is a trigger on both weapon and shield that says "Wait for second item" and they glitch up because of that - if this were close enough to the case, it'd be because they triggered "Order complete" and also "wait for second item/other item" which both is "already obtained" and after the order is cleared the "other item" is now "Null" - which obviously can never be filled in anyway shape or form - and there's no order timelimit - because the order was arleady cleared, and so they're waiting, with no time limit, for the other item, which is null and cannot be produced or handed to them, nor accepted.

If you do reach this point - you'll have to save and reload to get the customer to unload.

Also

Alternatively

If for instaance.

You have say - 2 mithril ingots, your best material, and a customer asks for Mithril (or adamantine/titanium) weapon and a shield.

And you cannot afford 5 mithril for the shield

You can instead - Reverse what I suggested earlier.

Make them the 2mithril ingot weapon (Hopefully they asked for a 2 or 1 ingot, obviously) give them said weapon, and then promptly dismiss them, They will equally, pay for "whatever you managed to give them" whether that's the weapon or the shield. - It's always just a matter of whichever of the two will provide you the best profits. It you have 3 or less of your best ingot - and they want your best ingot or better weapon (WITHOUT SPECIFICATION VERY VERY IMPORTANT if they ask for say "A titanium one hand hammer, with an uncommon grip and topspot head, and a shield" Just send them away. (Unless you wanna pawn a shield on them) If you do not provide them with a titanium 1h hammer, they will not accept it, but if they ask for "A titanium one hand hammer and a heater shield" Give them whatever you got. If you got Mithril, give em mithril, if you only got iron cause of bronze gear - give em iron. They'll accept anything in their price range, which is everything (if its titanium) - That means if they ask for Iron, and you have mithril, You'll have to give them iron or less.......) ) )?) However many of these I needed )


Where was I...? Well I dunno how to continue my statement from earlier, Point being.

Choose one or the other for now. and then send them away.

This'll keep you playing in the same session without having to save and reload to clear them out.
