  • What does it take for things to show up in /buyer?

    can anyone state definitively the requirement for items showing up in the /buyer window?

    i've heard that the item has to be "seen on that server". i've heard that it has to be "seen in the bazaar". in my experience, both of these are wrong. there are items that i have seen on the server and seen for sale by /trader toons which still do not show up in searches in the /buyer window.

    For player made item, it has to be "made" on that server before it shows up in buy. When colored backpack went live, there were none in buy on Maelin but after I made some, the buy showed all that I made.

    For items that are dropped or quested, it has to be owned by a player on the server before it shows up.

      i don't believe this is true.

      for instance, right now, someone has a superb marrow up for sale in trader mode. however, i can't find the item in the /buyer window.

        What server? I see superb marrow in buy list on Maelin.

        Maybe it takes a while for newly looted item to show up on buy list? Or a bug?

          from what I understand, the update to /buyer is kind of wonky. usually it takes the item being looted or made for it to be able to show up. How ever, if I recall correctly at times people have said that it can take up to a couple of days for items to show up in /buyer. Even so far as having made a full set of armor, but 1 or 2 pieces didn't show up right away. so if nothing else check back in a day or 2 and see if you can list it yet.

            Everytime I made something from GM drakkin tailoring it wouldnt show up until I did an /eqplayers update command. I could have it on my toon, or on my baz chick for up to a week and it would not show up, then I'd do an update, and it would show the next day.

              EQ's discovery system is bugged. I verified this with Ngreth quite a while back. What's supposed to happen is that newly discovered items are immediately visible in the bazaar. (Items are discovered when they are first looted or made.) However, in practice, discovered items will only appear when the bazaar restarts, which could be the result of a scheduled restart like a patch, or just a zone or server crash.

                And since Bazaar on Bristlebane crashes at least once a day, our /buyer search is always up to date!

                See that? Its a silver lining!

                  i'm on tribunal, btw.

                  so, if i can't see some item in /buyer now, i shouldn't expect to until the bazaar or server reset? that'll cut down on the repeated searching, somewhat...
