Title: BH caravans selling HQ ores?
Post by: Alvarez on May 21, 2010, 11:41:50 am
Recently, i was travelling across the wastes, as i tried to talk to the trader of a Broken Hills caravan. (needed a gun)

I was surprised that the woman was carrying a HQ ore, willing to sell it for 265 caps. I thought, maybe they looted a aggressive miner, but later that day i encountered them again with a piece of HQ ore on different route. I would as sure as hell not give away a piece of HQ ore for such cheap equipment.

Could it be, that the devs finally show some mercy for poor miners by offering them a alternative?

I mean, it makes sense, first, it's a expensive piece of ware for a noob, yet still, it's affordable by two boxpacking jobs. Then, it takes time to meet a BH caravan, and it's only a single piece, so it can't be farmed by raiders. Was it meant like a consolation prize, perhaps?

If that is the case, i have to thank the devs then.

If they have just one that have no sense, to gather 4 iron ore you need 2 minutes in BH + time to back to tent/city when to get 4 iron ore from bh caravan you need to encounter them 4 times what sometimes is really hard (especially with low outdoorsman).

Wait- they have only 1 ore? a trading caravan from a mining town has just one ore? Maybe I'm ungreateful but i guess it's a little..to little. I'd understand if they were selling small amounts to the people they dont like(getting better rep with BH would allow to buy more ores at a time). I hope its a preview of some sort... And i really hope that caravans will have more to trade since well... they are a caravan after all-they are ment to trade a lot ;)

Well, this was just an Ore randomly turning up in the inventory.

For Caravans to have any meaningful Inventory they will have to be "real" traders - as in there would have to be a finite number and be somewhere on the world map, not just a chance encounter.

Of course you can just buy the higher tier stuff already made at traders anyway.

So, seems that my english isn't so good as I thought.
Do you mean that caravans will have HQ ore for sale or not? (ofc. more than just 1 ore)

WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET THIS!??!?

I find 0% det snipers, miniguns, CA's etc etc etc... alll the friggin time but I still hear people complaining about how hard it is to get this stuff....  And I've only been playing for a month and I have 4 CA/Sniper, It isn't THAT hard.

But you gotta understand people's frusturation when they do try to make stuff...  *mines 4 ore, millasecond later, insta-killed and looted by russians.*.

( I have never crafted anything but 10mms, rope, and leather jackets )

It means the only way it could ever happen is if Caravans change.
