Auction won't allow some items to be sold? #78

Open torkur opened 7 years ago

torkur commented 7 years ago

It looks like Auction might use no sell flags or something? It seems completely random and I question why it's in place. Example: Trollbark - Glossy Serpent Armor can be auctioned, but the Azurite Ring and the Mystical Crystal Skull do not. This doesn't really make sense because it's not a "shop" and the other items are exactly what we'd want to sell on the auction for cash, worth more as quest items, etc. Please take a look and if possible change auction to allow us to auction any item we'd like.

Yes, auction currently will not sell NOSELL flagged items.

There is actually a rule against selling quest items. Which applies to auction as well as mundane selling on global channels.

I will raise this topic with staff, and we will discuss whether we might be willing to change the NOSELL flag / the policy on selling quest items

torkur commented 7 years ago

I agree completely on non-wearable quest items such as a pile of dragon scales or similar.

The problem is that all 3 Trollbark items listed are wearable and all 3 are also quest items. That's the part that confuses me. Maybe "wearable/has stats" is the enhancement I'm thinking of honestly. :)

torilmud-silvanus commented 7 years ago

yeah the "statless" expectation has actually been the general policy in the past. if it has actual stats then we dont consider it a "quest item" for the purposes of prohibiting selling

But that policy is entirely separate from the presence of NOSELL flags

That being said though, the azurite ring should be sellable. It doesnt have a NOSELL flag.

The crystal skull also does not have a NOSELL flag... However its kind of a unique item in the code, so that uniqueness might be preventing auctioning. But if that's the case that should be a very rare circumstance.

Also the crystal skull /barely/ has stats, so thats kinda questionable.

Tested the ring, and I cannot auction it either. Though I don't know why...

This needs more work to find out what is happening

I mean, I don't see what else it could be. And if that's the case I can't imagine any purpose to prohibiting that item type...

Hey,

Just a note above. The crystal skull is the Lich item only for the quest. Trollbark item is the "mystical crystal skull" which is 26 mana 2 max power or so held psi item, so I'd expect the mystical crystal skull to have the same workings as the azurite ring. :)

Thanks!

torilmud-silvanus commented 7 years ago

ah, I see, yeah I was looking at the wrong skull then! Yeah that skull is also "treasure"...
