Linking the prices of npc shops with the towns stocks

Post by The Man of the Moon »

LIVING MERCHANT PRICES

Any chance the prices SELLING AND buying items on shops may increase and decrease in a linked rate with the stocked resources in each settlement?

Like... When the settlement were going low on metal, then the smithers will buy weapons at a higher price (let's say till 300 gp max / item), but when there is a lot of metal stocked, the prices of bought will fall to something like 100 gp max/item)

Also, that may affect to the real prices of the goods the npc shops have, by increasing or decreasing by as much like +/- 50% their standard prices.

No, because this will mess with the trade route stuff and can lead to merchants in a town buying stuff for more than they sell things for.
