One Question: Will the vendors still have the same items for sale when they return to the same city (plus maybe a few more) or might it happen that the next time around some items are no longer available? I hope not. I'm never sure what I will need next month and hate to buy on a guess.

Please set my mind at ease here. Thanks.

Purr~

The general merchant will be present in every city with the exact same items for sale at all festivals. These are items the Far Seas group think will sell well in every city.

The city specialties merchant will sell different specialties in every city. These are boutique items that the Far Seas traders think will sell better in some cities than others! So the items currently for sale at the Qeynos festival will only be sold when the festival returns to Qeynos again the next time. They will not be sold in Kelethin or any other city festival, the merchant will be selling other special items that he thinks those cities will be more interested in. It's all about maximizing the profit for the Far Seas, of course!

At this point I can't see any reason why items would be removed from any of the merchants between one festival and the next (unless they are horribly bugged I suppose, which we hope will never be the case). However, there will quite likely be more new items appearing over time, as those Far Seas merchants are always on the lookout to make more profit and expand their sales inventory.

I've changed the signs to be heirloom instead of no trade, and added some descriptive prose to make it more clear they work like the magic mouth.

We do not plan to activate all the separate city festivals on Test server before the game update goes live. Apart from the specialty items for sale, they are not significantly different, and there are a lot of other exciting events to test before the update goes live!

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Boxes of berries to rot in your home only sell well in Qeynos apparently.
