"Without causing or suffering a wreck."

That's hilarious. It's like someone just started throwing suffixes on the end of words and calling them new words.

I am totally discombobulatedless.

What makes it more funny is with the 'less' suffix on it, it almost becomes the literal opposite of the ...

It doesn't make any sense no matter how you slice it and and clearly it's simply an artifact of how the mapping was programmed.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, could not find it by searching. Is there a key that either highlights item drops/chests on the ground or makes walls in the foreground disappear or become transparent?

Sometimes it's difficult to see chests or other drops hidden in corners.

Wreckless is found in Wiktionary - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wreckless

Yep it's in the wiktionary as:

"Common misspelling of reckless."

Thanks for your condescending suggestion. If I write my own game, and you buy it, I'd welcome your suggestions.

If *you* have a *problem* with my posts I suggest you not read them or not respond.

Your post is confusing. You agree that identifying some items is silly, but suggest I should either cheat or write my own program to solve the problem?

Ever seen one of those antique roadshows?? People bring junk they have from all over to have it appraised by professionals. Using the china again as an example...

You have a set of china plates that's been in your family for years. They're in good condition, but they don't look particularly well ...

Not really. The mercantile skill is all about the hustle. But you have to be more familiar with an item's worth before you can really bargain for it.


Well, exactly. You have to be familiar with what it's worth in order to bargain. Hence, knowing an objects value is part and parcel to bargaining ...

That's the only one I know of that's 'guaranteed'. Your only choice is to soldier on and hope one shows up in one of the general stores/inkeeper shops or in random loot.

IIRC, there is one in the rain barrel near Captain Morgan in Port Kuudad. I could be wrong, but I think it's always there.

Identifying an item strikes me as a combination of knowing both "what it is" and "what is it worth." By having an item be "unknown" you are basically saying you are unfamiliar with one of the two, or both.

Wouldn't "what it's worth" be better suited to the mercantile skill?

A better analogy would be is that a bar of lead with a thin coating of gold or the real thing.

If you have an identified version of the same item then you automatically have it stack and identify. Too bad this doesn't work with armor.


Ok, yes, you could coat a lead bar with gold like that and ...

Could be a bar of pyrite. Given the similarity between the two, a bar of one could easily be mistaken for the other to the untrained eye.


Who would make a bar of pyrite? If we are going to assume that, why not have to identify gold coins? They could be some inferior metal/mineral, right ...
