What old shop(s) do you miss the most? 12/06/2015 06:11 PM CST
Out of all the shops that are no longer available, which ones do you wish you could visit again?

Ambika? Renshear's?

Jakuv's All-Trades Outlet. The room descriptions still make me giggle when I think about them.

Wyrmtongue's Wares. Heck, didn't that only happen once? I've always wanted to get my hands on another one of those verby sabres.

Thryntyrlz, though I doubt we'll ever see them again for reasons.

Obligatory spellbook merchant request.

I wish I could remember the name of the shop but it sold the morawens, frogs and harnesses that hold two weapons. They sold for less than a plat and I think DR could use an influx of them again.

I like the idea of Ambika as RP items. I worry that, even with updated items, they would be kind of not-as-great, because a lot of players use lumium, kertig, haralun, etc. higher tear gear, and the GMs just can't put that out for average Joes to purchase, which means the set-piece on the items get lost almost at the word go.

So I end up wanting more fluff oriented shops. Can I vote for 'all the old versions of Edword's? A lot of his shops from the Ice fest, Eluned fest, temple reopening, have cool stuff.

Ambika would be cool, as would fade. But only if the weapons aren't garbage. I'd pay good money for high quality thief only gear. The necros got an auction, and get plenty of necro gear. It would be nice to see that again.

X2 for all of Edwords. That shop is always well done.

Honestly it would be nice to see all fest gear get a glance over when it comes to stats, it'd be nice if everything had stats comparable to high steel at least, but that seems a bit beyond the purview of the thread a bit.

>> The necros got an auction, and get plenty of necro gear.

Ours is mostly utility stuff like belt knives and some gear to manage SO for chars for whom that's a problem, not really weapons or armor. I think Thieves have had merchants with plenty of that kind of stuff in the past though; fake cambrinth, special dirt purses, that kinda thing. Seeing the fake cambrinth merchant come back would be interesting, though of negligible usefulness nowadays considering the pointlessness of hiding being a Thief anymore. I think Thieves also originally had the containers with pockets in them?

Edword's, of course! I want to re-complete my armor sets, some day. Even if the stats might be terrible!

Updated turquoise tent from the Shard Liberation Festival - https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Turquoise_Tent

Updated faded blue canvas tent from Theren Festival I - https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Faded_Blue_Canvas_Tent I really miss my wax.

I wouldn't mind them coming back non-updated, mind you.

Basically, any shop that had cool stuff I bought and subsequently lost. :D

LOL Do you even know how much sense it would make to have a passive concentration booster like mages have mana regen, or like vit healers. Or how about items that reduced heat from stealing, or items that reduced hindrance while carting around all your crap from stealing.

I've yet to ever see a special dirt pouch other than the ones in the plain thief shop in the guild. Fake camb? sure... Except that anyone can see thieves aren't magical... How about an item that shows a fake arcane aura. And containers with pockets in them? What? What is the point of that? It's possible I remember but have blocked it off.

A passive concentration regenerator would be a really cool quest prize. Though if they work anything like the mana/vit regen items, the amount you actually get would be incredibly negligible to the point of uselessness. I've asked for LAD-like devices for other mana types for years. I'm not sure why it was never done. The time for their maximum usefulness has kind of passed at this point. :(

Buuuut this thread is for old shops not new ones, isn't it?

Obviously the spellbook merchant. The cases alone are wonderful for organization...

Edword's is another good one. Super verby greatcloaks, yes? Very neat.

I always wanted to get into Andriane's shop as well. That was some clothing that really draped elegantly, and it had a lot of options for how it looked on your person.

I think to the teeth was actually a plat-specific vendor, from before the crafting rewrite, since making weapons/armor was less about using the system, and more about understanding how to abuse bugs and mechanics.

To The Teeth definitely existed in Prime. I've owned several of those weapons.

Maybe it was a different shop then.

Though I think the plat only one did get accidentally dropped in prime once, and no one noticed for a day. Probably have to wait for Tev or someone who does Plat to comment.

It likely was opened accidentally or unknowingly, the shop is noted as Platinum Only staff-side.

I had plans to open it for Plat during the last Premium Mini fest, but realized it needed a lot of updating and I didn't give myself enough time.

The Platinum shop I know about is Over the Edge, not that one. Didn't even know about that one intended to be Plat only.

Edword's Accoutrements was pretty cool. I went back and back again just to look around.

Tisk's Wagon. This wasn't the name of the shop but this is what it was usually referred too.

Two of my favs.

Thryntyrlz BagMaker's Yurt
- Would need updates for new sizings. Also, some more clothing like the "Trader vest" would be awesome.

Provincial Paradise
- Would be fantastic if other provinces/clans were added in as well.
