Merchant - A Trading Expansion

Merchant - A Trading Expansion

Merchant is a lightweight trading and economy expansion. The goal is to both increase the available goods to buy and provide new ways to earn money in-game while rebalancing the loot and sell gameplay loop present in the game. New luxury items are available for crafting to earn money in brand new ways.

Gameplay Changes

The following are gameplay and balance tweaks present in the mod.

Inn Prices - Inns now cost 50 per night up from 10

Carriage Prices - Standard carriage rides now cost 50, and further trips, 100

Sell Prices - An optional addon reduces sell prices if you don't use something like trade & barter

Carry Weight - An optional addon reduces standard carry weight by 100 (down to 200 starting rather than 300)

Vendor Changes

Merchant improves a few different types of vendors as well as some specific vendor inventories to make them more worthwhile to visit.

General Stores - These vendors will now sell linen, used to craft certain clothing items, as well as firewood for certain crafting recipes

Feran Sadri - Sells Blood Potions for vampires to access

Khajiit Caravans - Buy stolen goods allowing you to earn money stealing early

Chefs - Sell ingredients and fancy foods

Farmers - Sell produce from their farm and relevant crops
