Item Appraiser NPC

[amonseti]

Had an Idea of a new NPC gold sink idea !!
Create a new Appraiser NPC that could live in say the Jewlery shops in all citys that have them. Or even in City banks.

The function of this NPC would be as follows.
For a fee in gold (I suggest 10k). when paid a target cursor would appear and a player can select any item even a bandage . The result of this would be an info window on how many of that item exists on the server, if it can be re-spawned (if there could be more in the future), last spawn date of item, and any other info people can think of that would assist in valuing an items rarity.

And / Or

Appraisal Wands.
Purchased from gold sink or Dono vendor. Could have charges that get consumed with each use. It would function exsactly as I stated above.

The reason for this is alot of people are stating raritys ie "Selling this rare item" only 2 on the server blah blah blah, and lately alot of these are false reprisentations of rarity.

seems like future potential for spawning might be a little manhour intensive, otherwise good call. I hope this idea goes somewhere, it would allow for a ton more item content overall without needing players to stick around to verify those claims.

would also be nice to add the ability to verify an items creation date too, may help avoid scams.

I guess you could also ramp up the item ID ability to take care of this also .. but I like the RP value of an NPC doing it.

+1
UOF NEEDS a way to check how many of an item is on the server.

Currently, there is no way to prove a unique, other than hearsay.

I +1 as well. Have a few things I wanna inquire on and didnt want to bug staff lol

I like it but then how are all these people going to lie about their unique items? It's trammel I say.
