    We need to find alternate currency....

    In prison we used stamps (FMC Lexington) and/or cans of mackerel (FPC Ashland). (I kid you not, all the nouns in that sentence have been double checked.)

    1 stamp was 25 cents, yes you could go to the commissary and buy stamps but at that time a stamp cost 32, or 38 (or similar) cents, we all just considered a stamp to be worth 25 cents.

    1 can of mackeral was a dollar, and cans sold for a dollar at the commissary.

    Now in both of those cases, we were able to use stamps or cans of mackeral as currency, because they were obtainable at a set price and consumable. (people maild lotsa letters, and the weightlifters ate lotsa cans of mackeral (cheapest source of protein in the joint))

    Best thing I can think of for you would be to buy large scales, but there is risk as we all know is mod 9 coming, and god knows what the designers have in mind then.

    If only the game designers would take the blinders off... Why does a gem sell for 1/10ish (depending on haggle) of it's base value, if they made them a constant, problem would be solved. Why cant they just add a npc that buys and sells marks of boldrin at the fixed price of 100kpp each.

    Been there done that at SCI Camp Hill and SCI Cresson... Only it was packs of cigarettes and IBC tickets(Inmate Betterment Committee) I agree though, they need another form of currency besides plat or they need to up the cap so I don't have to give more away.

    • allow it but not give you all the coin since you cant go over max plat?


    back on topic:
    gimme the vorp shuriken you jerk!
    When I used to think the max plat was 5.2 mil I found myself selling items but then noticed the plat counter was not going any higher than about 4.2 mil....No error...the items just disappeared...must have burned a couple million gold before I slowed down to notice it, lol. And you don't get the coin in lower denominations, so just try to keep your plat below 4 mil and you'll be okay.

    Happy Hunting

    Even though I worked in a prison once, I have an active imagination.
    So I pictured you in an orange jumpsuit in a special prison cell where you're allowed to have a computer and internet access. Life sentence spending all waking hours playing DDO to pass the time away.
    Sounds silly, but it would explain the loot.
