I LOVE Vendordiving.

[Unapuma]

2 Exquisite Deep Mushroom, sells for more than 10x what vendor paid (off tailoring NPC in POK)
187 spider silk in EK (guess someone was farming something else and didn't want the silks)
1 slugworm $$$ also in EK

[Vochore]

Just bought 212 Steppes Ore off druidspell vendor in the Steppes. Someone was farming but didnt know they sold for 5c i guess!

Maybe i can get to 262 smithing on them....not likely =(

[Zacory]

WOOT! Love this thread and got lots of ideas... thanks!!

Sooty Fine Runic Vellum, Grubby Fine Velum and Dirty Vellum x 2 from a merchant in Sunderrock springs! Makes me wana start an alt INT caster for researching.

Woot - 2 more vellums from a different vendor. I think I just found a new hobbie after patches.

[Vochore]

Hah yeah after patch its nice

[rarrazz]

Yeah


No luck yet
I will keep trying though!

Today was a good day:
7 shadowmane Pelts on guild hall vendor
2 more shadowmane pelts on pok merchant
2 glossy drake hides on scribe in Arcstone
10 Wasp spider silks
misc research parts
and a dozen clockwork gnome bolts

Needless to say the tinker bot was a happy camper after todays mining

The 2 patches were decent to me:

20 Blue Diamonds
60 or so Diamonds
12 Jord Meat
12 Holgresh furs
80 or so Crystalized Sulfur
Several Rank 2 spells / songs
Several hard to find Melee Tomes
14 Drake Eggs

Was fun going around.....Need more patches LOL

Since we can't seem to get first in first out rotating vendor stocks how about a random despawn timer on each vendor. Maybe setup a varying internal timer that once a vendor hits x days without respawning(dying or patch reset) it will despawn and repop thus emptying its' inventory. Each vendor can have a different timer value so not all vendors despawn at the same time.

There are already mobs in the game that despawn on timers/set times of days. Craigbeast queen, rogue epic pickpocket mobs for 2.

Vederdiving is a great way to pass time wating for buffs or groups while wandering around. Just a question, or poll if you will. How long after a patch do you wait to hit the out of the way venders, like the iksar smiths or tinkerer. I hit the easy to get to venders right away after a patch, but I have found that some of the out of the way venders take some time to get anything. Sometime as many as four or five days before I start to hit them as much as the easy to get to venders. Happy hunting

[Unapuma]

Pretty much the same as you, I hit the easy ones like the 3 in guild lobby and many in PoK. Others are checked after a few hours.

I managed to find almost 40 BD on the guild hall vendor along with few hard to find spells that are worth quite a bit.

[MelodyM316]

The patches have been REALLY good to me

1 Sooty Fine Runic Vellum (the lvl 70 spell scroll) for less than 2pp
More and more Diamonds and Blue Diamonds
Rare lvl 60 spells / songs
More Crystalized Sulfur than you can shake a finger at
Centi Longsword
Centi Shortsword
Light Velium Sword (less than 1 plat)

and the list can go on and on

This is a great hobby and is fun too!
