Editing Buy and Sell Rates (section)

== History ==
Players seek out shopkeepers that buy at a high rate and sell at a low rate in order to earn/save the most pyreals. Early in the game's history there were a small number of vendors that sold below face value or bought above face value. This made it possible to develop trade routes where you could make money by buying supplies at one vendor then traveling to another vendor to sell them again. At that time pyreals had burden and took up more space than they do now which limited the amount to be made per trade run. However Turbine has since changed vendors to generally not sell below face value or buy over face value, which reduced the chance of players creating money macros. A similar change was made to disallow selling crafting items (player made) to any vendors. This prevents buying crafting components, making something of higher value and selling to a vendor for profit.

Note there is still one NPC that sells spell components at 100% of face value, but is only available to red PKs ([[Bael'Zharon (NPC)]]).
