Malaombra's Economy

Malaombra's Economy

Better trade. Better funded merchants.

Features

Buying and selling have independent global/category factors. Equipment sells at 4x by default (crossbows 3x, bolts 2x, horse equipment 3x); runes/glyphs sell at 3x and cost 1. 5x to buy. Common food and junk retain their category factor of 1x. A configurable floor/cap bounds selling against that merchant's modified buying quote, initially 35%-80%.

Vendor funds default to a 10,000-crown minimum. Optional capacity multipliers combine native funds capacity, a global factor and a vendor-category factor; categories cover smiths, armorers, alchemists, innkeepers and other vendor types. These are category overrides, not named individual NPC overrides. Shops top up on opening and spend normally during transactions; reopening replenishes the deficit without compounding.

Requirements and installation

The Witcher 3 Remastered 5. 0 on PC. Legacy 1. 32/4.x compatibility is not established.

Requires Malaombra's Core >=0. 1. 12-dev (use the latest published Core).

Install Core, then this archive with Vortex. Configure Trade rules, Selling prices, Buying prices and Vendor funds under Settings > Mods > Malaombra's Mods > Malaombra's Economy. For manual installation, copy the archive's Mods content to the game Mods directory.

Compatibility and limitations

Quest items, keys, currencies and zero-value native quotes are preserved. Crafting, repairs, dismantling and runewright service prices are not changed. Technical caps are one million crowns per unit and one million vendor crowns. Price caps do not prove absence of cross-merchant/crafting arbitrage. Turning funds off does not remove crowns already granted.

Release status

Version 0. 3. 1-dev. Development release used in the author's personal Vortex setup. Authored scripts have passed joint REDkit compilation and automated checks; this does not establish every retail behavior or every third-party mod combination. Back up saves before installation. No vanilla assets or third-party mod source is redistributed.
