Anyone else think Identify in shops is a bit high - it always costs more to Identify an item than what it's worth so in fact it is costing you money just to see you have a piece of JUNK - might as well throw all these items away

Perhaps this discussion would be better suited for the general Book II forum, not here in the Windows support forum.

Having said that, I think the identify prices are fine. I need the incentive to actually get lore so I make money from that endeavour. If I really want to just use the item, I'll pay for the identify before I have enough lore skill. It still works out to about half of what I would have to pay to buy the item outright.

Not only that, it encourages the development of mercantile, as well as repair.

Yeah I know - I need some sleep and keep posting in wrong section but also I've started the game with all options on except the no save when poisoned etc and started as a wizard so spending points in repair and merc at the start is very hard when trying to build your character up

It was somewhere around mid-game before I finally got around to boosting my mercantile/foraging/repair skills.

If you're lucky, you'll find some enchanted items that will help you out early on with these three.
