What is the exact name of the NPC? (caps and "a"?)
I am not finding it in the database (can find a summon effect) so I may have to create it before I can assign the item to a vendor list (which I may be able to do...)
it Summons "User's" Familiar so it wouldn't be in the database
Veteran reward: Tenth Year: Summon Resupply Agent - A Merchant is summoned to your side who will sell supplies and buy your loot off you. He remains up for 10 minutes or until you get rid of him. Refreshes every 20 hours.
sad really, 20 hour Cool down and all that.. basically sells 100 of any reagent needed for spells (and rations/water flask)
For a bit of clarification. Do NOT have a pet or familiar up when you try to use this Veteran AA. You will be told you cannot have more than one pet, and then watch your 20 hour cooldown.
Just got the pearl to drop off of a Dragorn Laborer. Trained the whole zone and it dropped. A dragorn Fleshflayer was killed also but did not drop the pearl.
These are slow sellers in the bazaar at prices from 20 – 150p. 50p is the average price, and there’s no indication that they really sell at anything much higher than that. They seem to sell 10 –20 or so at a time every 6-10 weeks. I’ve never seen anyone offering to buy them in the bazaar. (/barter in the bazaar zone)
The Merchant information here is wrong. No merchant regularly stocks and sells black pearls. I visited the two merchants listed above and neither had them. If a merchant sells black pearls it is because some player sold them to him. I know, my level 39 enchanter searched for them yesterday at gem merchants, and never found any. Which is sad because black pearls are next on his jewelcraft trivial list to raise his skill to 196. They are reasonably cheap at 21pp compared to the next jewel - star ruby - which is trivial at 199 skill but cost 68pp each.
As an interesting aside, I make gold geode/polished quartz/amethyst jewelry to bridge this gap. They trivial in the low 200's (geode is 211) and when you buy a geode at 40pp you can sell the gold ring for 80pp or more, a profit of at least 30pp. This gives ample margin for fails, but you are restricted to what you can find at the bazaar for gems.
looted some off spiders in dreadlands, not a really rare drop but not a common drop. sell them for around 20 plat with maxed faction and 125 cha *grin*
I've looted a black pearl off a Griffon before, but today I looted one off a Griffenne. I've killed about dozens of Griffennes before and never got a black pearl until now, so it's not too common.
Got one last night from a Forest Giant Greenwood in Warsliks which I sold for 19pp+ to a Merchant. Not really worth the trip to the Bazaar for the xtra 5pp, but if I were more patient I'd bank it with other stuff and sell the lot in one trip. Also got some Ivory off an Evergreen and a Sarnak in The OT.
