Player Owned Vendors

Player Owned Vendors are NPC vendors that can be placed by a player on a housing plot.

Purchase
A plot must be purchased from an architect NPC, and a vendor rental contract must be bought from a banker NPC. Both of these NPCs can be found in any town.

Once purchased, the player owned vendor does not require any additional cost to continue working, however they will take a 5% commission on any sales made. If no sales are made, no money will be taken.

Placement
A player owned vendor can only be placed on a plot. The plot must belong to any character on either the plot's owner's account or the plot's co-owner's account.

A plot may have multiple vendors from multiple accounts.

The vendor can be made to face in any direction (provided there's enough room for you to stand) by right-clicking the vendor and selecting "Face Me".

What is vendor decay?
Player owned vendors decay in 2 weeks if the owner does not interact with the vendor in that time.

Once the vendor's timer expires, it will teleport away, taking along anything it was carrying with it. This also happens if the owner attempts to remove the vendor. All care must be taken to ensure the gear on the vendor is removed first, or else it may be lost.

The owner can right-click the vendor and select "Check Decay" to see how long until the vendor decays.

On Strike
After 2 weeks of inactivity from the owner, the vendor will go into an On Strike state for 1 more week. Vendors will also go On Strike immediately if they are no longer located on a house plot.

Vendors that are On Strike will not accept new items for sale, but will allow the owner to remove items and collect gold.

If your vendor goes On Strike you can hire the vendor back by paying the vendor 3,000gp to continue service (it will try to take the gold from the vendor's bank, your bank, or your backpack, whichever comes first).

Claiming Sales
To collect money from the vendor, right-click the vendor and select Interact, then follow the prompts. The vendor will tell you if any sales have been made and put any money gained (minus their commission) in your character's bank. You cannot keep the money on the vendor when you check it - it is immediately deposited into your bank.

The player will not be told what was sold. It is up to the player to keep track of their inventory and to keep it well organised.

Buying From
For purchases under 3,000gp you will be required to have the gold in your inventory to make the purchase.

For purchases over 3,000gp the gold with be withdrawn from your bank.
