Clerk(s)
NPC - Clerk 119
Clerk 119 is the name of the NPC responsible for basic trading options with the ledger. There are 6 versions of Clerk 119, each with different barter gold values. This represents a change in "credit limit" for the NPC to buy items.
vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_{1-5}: Hidden NPCs interacted with via "ForceGreeting",
providing trade services through the ledger. The clerk number is the player's
rank, so vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_1 is when the player is rank 1 (ranks start at
0), up until rank 5. At rank 6, the player gains access to the Trade House,
where the last clerk is as a permanent and visible NPC the player can interact
with.
vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_6: The visible NPC version of Clerk 119, with the
maximum allowed barter gold, and a physical presence in the Trade House.
Inventories
Initially, all clerk NPCs have the same inventory: the trade contracts for sale. As the trade contracts are bought, they are removed from any of the higher clerk's inventories (ie., buying a trade contract from clerk 1 will remove it from 2-6; buying from 3 will remove it from 4-6, but not 1 or 2). Additionally, the first clerk has some bargain potions of restore health, magicka, and fatigue, a bottle of comberry brandy, and some scuttle, as provisions provided by corporate as a kind of welcome bonus.
At each rank-up, when the NPCs are swapped, a script is run that transfers any items related to the trade contracts to the next NPC. Otherwise, inventories are "wiped" (they start empty) between rank-ups, as a form of "clearing out old stock" or some shit. Corpo talk baby.

Personal Merchant
Starting in on the personalized merchant. I think the inventory of this merchant should be primarily items that that player requests. This will be handled generally through dialog, starting at broad categories, and optionally shrinking to more specifics. For example: [Armor, Weapon, Scroll] -> Choose Weapon -> [Axe, Sword, Staff]. The request would be made, and then a few days after would be the result. The permanent inventory represents the "private stock" or something, which includes any special items the PC has unlocked and not bought yet. Requested items get added to that inventory for a bit, then removed.
Requisitions
Options start broad, then narrow down:
Top Level Options
- Armor
- Weapons
- Accessories
- Wonderous Items
- [Nevermind]

The personal merchant offers a few quests in addition to the inventory aspect.
Fetch Quests
Find items, and provide them to the merchant to gain reputation, and also add custom and powerful items to the "private stock."
Trade Contracts
Similar to the clerk, the personal merchant will offer trade contracts for the player to fulfill. These are flavored as the merchant finding sources for other clients, but offering to include a small share to our clerk as well. These contracts must be brought to a different merchant than the initial one.
Additional/Custom Items
These are items that may be included when the merchant provides options for a category.
Armor
One piece for each of the tiers of armor, including unarmored; 4 items per piece total. The player can request armor, and then specify a tier (Light, Medium, Heavy, or Clothing), and then specify a piece (Helm, Pauldrons, Cuirass, Arms, Legs, Boots). One important details: clothing can be worn with armor, so the clothing items must be balanced to account for this.
Helms - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
Pauldrons - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
Cuirasses - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
Arms - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
Legs - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
Boots - Light: - Medium: - Heavy: - Clothing:
