Types of Traders
There are three types of traders in the kingdom:

Shopkeepers

Shopkeepers have established businesses with doors and counters. There are a variety of shops, such as weapons shops, armor shops, alchemists, and drinking establishments. Merchandise (and prices) vary from shop to shop, and you should be able to buy almost anything you need.

Scroll Vendors

Scroll vendors stand in the busy areas of the kingdom and shout what they sell and how much they charge. Scroll vendors sell a variety of scrolls imbued with psionic disciplines such as ProtAssault, Succor, Respirate, and ProtStun.

Questors

Questors sometimes rent shops and sometimes wander about the kingdom. They usually carry a valuable item in one of their hands that they will trade you for what they request.

Buying from a shopkeeper
1 Stand in front of the counter. 2 Click the shopkeeper's Identity box. The shopkeeper appears. The items he or she sells are displayed on the shelves. The cost of each item is beneath the item. 3 Drag the item you want to buy to your hand, sack, belt, or pouch. 4 Type the number of items you want to buy, or click Maximum.

If you click Maximum, the shopkeeper sells you as many items as will fit in the location you dragged the item to (and have enough coins to buy). For example, if your sack is empty, the shopkeeper will sell you as many bottles as will fit in your sack.

Sell to a shopkeeper
1 Stand in front of the counter. 2 Click the shopkeeper's Identity box. The shopkeeper appears. 3 Drag the item you want to sell to the shopkeeper's face. The shopkeeper places the appropriate amount of gold in your sack.

Note To sell multiple items, press SHIFT, click on the items you want to sell, and then drag the last item to the shopkeeper's face.

[Having an item appraised]

Having an item appraised might give you some idea of its worth, even if you don't know what it is used for. For example, if you find an interesting helm and don't know whether you should sell it, you can have it appraised. If it is worth more coins than a typical helm, it might have special powers. To have an item appraised

1 Stand in front of the counter. 2 Click the shopkeeper's Identity box. The shopkeeper appears. 3 Click the Show menu, and then point to Counter. 4 Drag the item you want to appraise to the Counter window. 5 Type the shopkeeper's name, followed by a comma, and then type appraise and the item you want appraised. For example, to have a shopkeeper named Ewok appraise a gem, type Ewok, appraise gem

Notes

You can abbreviate the shopkeeper's name to the first three letters. You must be specific about what an item is called. If you are holding a sword, you must specify whether it is a shortsword, longsword, or other kind of sword.
