Click on Store guy no bring up store BUG SOLVED

[asturonethoriusaline]

This is looking just like the other RP PW.

1. I create lev 1 Monk

Stats str 10

Dex 18

Con 10

Int 12

Wis 16

Cha 8

Then I start.

Then not allowed to enter Cormyr to buy Armor, Weapons Gear.

Told must get a Adventure Lic from outpost.

No store in outpost.

Talk to the Captain. Choose Dalelands. Get nice Bow BUT NO ARROWS.

Captain says to talk to guy that give lic

Guy that give lic says talk to guy upstairs, guy upstairs say to fight goblins to get license, to enter Cormyr to be able to buy the gear needed to fight beat the goblins needed to enter Cormyr.

So with NO GEAR, NO REST KITS. NO WAY TO REST. NO ARMOR. NO WEAPONS WITH AMMO AND ONLY A BOW WITHOUT ARROWS. ONLY 10 CURE MINOR WOUNDS POTIONS THAT HEAL ONLY 1, 2 HP, I go out to fight the goblins

1st goblin dead. Lose 1 hp. 2nd goblin dead lose 1 hp. 3rd Goblin dead. Then 2 goblins attack 1 goblin dead. Other Goblin hits for 5 hp. Down to 1 hp left. Goblin hits again. Character Dead.

At least character was a monk with a 17/18 AC with unarmed attack doing D6 dam with a BAB/AB of ZERO(No Weapon Finesse because cant start Ranger then go Monk without joining a order.

But if had been any other character it woukd have been worse

No armor would have been 10 to 14 AC instead of 17/18 AC. And there would be no Armor because no Armor for sale at the Outpost. Have to enter Cormyr to buy Armor, but have to fight goblins with 10 to 14 unarmored AC to get into Cormyr to buy Armor.

Which means the Character will probably die before getting into Cormyr.

But oh wait, maybe a character could have a weapon and beat goblins.

Maybe if choose right background, not the dalelands, can get a sword, etc, that character can use, has Prof in, so that dont take penalty to hit, instead of a Bow with NO ARROWS.

That way AC 10 to AC 14 character can at least do D4, D6, D8 damage instead of using D2 damage fist.

But if unlucky, then AC 10 to AC 14 character gets stuck with BOW with NO ARROWS, because they chose Dalelands. And so they have to use their fist, with probably a -1,-2,-3,-4 penalty to hit, and only do D2, D3 damage.

Why? Because they cant buy gear until enter cormyr, and cant enter Cormyr until fight goblins without BASIC CLASS APPROPIATE GEAR, UNLESS THEY GET LUCKY, CHOOSE THE RIGHT BACKGROUND INSTEAD OF DALELANDS.

AT LEAST I had a monk character that didnt need gear, IN THEORY

AND STILL DIED.

THINK THAT IS KIND OF BS.

THINK THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY, FIND, GET, ETC, CLASS APPROPIATE BASIC GEAR, ARMOR, WEAPONS, HEALING POTIONS THAT HEAL 1 D8 hp instead of D2,D3, D4 pathetic cure minor wounds potions, BEFORE HAVE TO GO FIGHT GOBLINS.

I mean that BASIC CURE LIGHT WOUND POTIONS THAT HEAL D6, D8, 3, 4,5 HP on average usually only cost 35 to 75 gold, and usually are easily bought at a nearby store.

There should be a BASIC STORE in the outpost. Then you buy Basic Gear, then fight goblins.

At least I had a Monk.

Now that I know about this.

I will never ever start out as anything but monks.

Why start out as anything else, when you will have a 10 to 14 AC, having to fight goblins with FIST.

BS.

And only way to combat that BS is with a monk that STILL DIED.

Guess going to have to approach this BS the way approach the Darksun Gladiator Pits

MAKE A CHARACTER TREE

Not going to wander the Fugue Plane, until get back on material plane, with 10% less gold, because killed by Goblins, not equipped to fight, then get killed again, then wander fugue plane more, then lose 10% more gold, RINSE REPEAT OVER AND OVER IN FRUSTRATION.

Nope going to avoid that BS.

If character dies to the beginning of the game goblins, then respawn to fugue plane, exit PW, reconnect, create next character, click play, fight goblins, die, respawn to fugue plane, exit, reconnect, create new character, click play, RINSE, REPEAT, until FINALLY BEAT GOBLINS, DEAL WITH THAT BS, GET LICENSE, ENTER CORMYR, GO TO STORE, BUY CLASS APPROPIATE BASIC GEAR, FINALLY.

... dude ... the NPC next to the badger has a store to buy basic gear ....

[asturonethoriusaline]

After created character, clicked play. Character appeared in area. In Area is Cormyr town gates, guarded by 2 guard. There is the forest trail to goblins. There is the outpost.

Inside the Outpost:

There is the Captain, middle of the Outpost area. And the guy that gives license needed to enter Cormyr.

There are 3 doors.

Left door goes down to what looks like dungeon, jail.


Center door goes upstairs.


Right Door goes downstair to a priest that tells you that you have to pick a deity to enter Cormyr.

Upstairs:

Room on right, has the Father, who wont deal with you, says is busy, etc.

Room on left guy wont talk, deal with you, says busy, etc.

Then Hallway hits T.

Right T wing leads past the guy that tells you to fight goblins, to a barracks, bedroom with no one in it.

Left T hall way goes to Left Barracks, bedroom.

Nobody in barracks, bedroom.

Basically searched the whole place, TALKED TO EVERYBODY IN WHOLE PLACE.


Did not miss anybody. I WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH.

The only guy who could have been this Badger you speak of is maybe the guy in the room opposite the room the Father was in. Or Maybe the guy that gives out the licenses, as didnt remember his name.

Either way after talking to EVERYBODY 20 TIMES, There still was no option to bring up a store to go shopping from.


You may, might, probably be right that there is a store run by a badger there.

But if so, its not easy to find, see, so what am I missing?

[asturonethoriusaline]

I also talked to the 2 guards outside the gates, and everyone outside the outpost, still no store.

What missing?

First I'd like to say that FRC has had thousands of characters go through the same thing you are. It may seem like a hassle, but we all do it, for every new character we create. Nothing is broken.

Second, the merchant that sells gear is outside the barracks standing next to the badger, just south of the barracks. You start with enough gold to buy a couple things but not always all you want. If he does not spawn go inside for a few mins or so and come back out.

You'll find most of us very happy to assist you if you have questions. Most people in the game will respond to a message sent to our characters if you ask for help, or direct you to a player that can help.

Im ok with the starting gold given. I assume the 100, 150, 200 gold is enough plenty.

And by Basic Gear: I mean 1 BASIC armor. 1 BASIC weapon, whether Sword, Ranged Weapon with Ammo. 1,2 Rest kits, Tents, or 1,2,3,4 Cure Light Wounds Potions.

And the starting gold will probably cover that, or like you said,Almost all of that, but not quite everything that want, and that ok.

Right Barracks past the Guy that tells you to fight the Goblins?

Or the Left Barracks? Which Barracks, Right or Left has the Merchant?

And how come I didnt find the, that Merchant?

I searched, scoured the whole place, and talked to everybody, and no store option popped up from any NPC.

The only thing I can think of is maybe Cha has to be higher then 8 in order to be able to pop up the store, and buy from the store?

I'll try again though.

Thanks for your comment.

I hope you can understand tho, that if a player were to search, scour everywhere, talk to everybody, STILL not find a store, and have to fight goblins with only FIST,why that would SEEM like a FRUSTRATING HASSLE, PAIN, BS, ETC.

Again thanks for your comment.

Sometimes he doesn’t spawn. You have to area transition a couple of times to get him to show up.

He will be a little guy accompanied by a badger near the front door.

You don't need to get into Cormyr to buy gear for the starter quests... you have some beginning gold and there's a merchant outside the outpost.

Yep your right. Figured out what happened.

1. Searched everywhere, inside and out, and tried to talk to everyone, and did talk to everyone EXCEPT:

The one guy didnt talk to, was standing right OUTSIDE the outpost.

Clicked SEVERAL TIMES on the guy, NOTHING HAPPENED.

So moved on.

2. Everyone kept on telling me that shopkeeper was outside the barracks INSIDE the outpost

3. Made New Character Duplicate of First Character(Wasnt going to spend forever wandering the Fugue Plane Forever)(Different Name)

4. Saw another PC, started IC RP asking if knew where store was. PC led me to the Storekeeper.

5. The Shopkeeper was the NPC, OUTSIDE the Outpost that clicked on a Zillion times with the first Character that couldnt find Shopkeeper, died against the Goblins.

6. So I clicked on the NPC and the store came up.

So must have been a temporary error, bug, glitch, that temporarily made it so that temporarily couldnt talk to shopkeeper, which caused the situation where couldnt find, talk to Shopkeeper, have to fight goblins with no gear.

So basically it was the BUG that misled, caused this whole problem

Without the BUG. I would have talked to Store, bought Basic Gear, defeated the Goblins, etc.

But because of BUG, couldnt find, talk to, buy from store, had to fight goblins with no gear.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Are Hand Axes, considered the same as Kama's for purposes of being considered unarmed attack Monk weapons like Kama, Staff?


Because can do Monk Flurry of Blows with Monk Staff, Kama, that count as unarmed flurry attacks.

So is Hand Axe the same?

It says it is a Monk Weapon.

Only kamas in neverwinter nights count as monk weapons for flurry sadly.
