[EveryM4N:
I know this is a bit crazy, but hear me out!
I was at the general store to get some [HP] and [MP Potions] for the upcoming [Quest]. However, the shopkeeper NPC refused to give me any! Said that they were all sold out!]
[Zedi29:
Sold out? As in they were completely out of potions?]
[EveryM4N:
Yeah! I tried to ask him to let me buy some batches and even stray off the dialogue path, but the answer stays the same.]
[VailOFgl0ry:
Wait, you too?! I just went through hell buying 50 [HP Potions] in another general store in
[7PlayCool:
Same here. And it’s not just potions. Cooking ingredients, materials, and some [Revive Stones] were also sold out in some stores that I visited.]
[Vivi4Fan:
I would say “me four”, but I have to add my friend since both of us have been having trouble just trying to get magic gemstones to [Magecraft] our new staves!]
[Zedi29:
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
Okay, that is a bit creepy. I haven’t encountered that problem so far. Though it makes sense, since I’ve got enough potions from that vending machine that those guys Wind and Kazu built in town.]
[EveryM4N:
Man, I wish I can buy some of their potions there. But they seem to be sold out and haven’t restocked it since the [Hidden Quest] news.]
[Vivi4Fan:
Well, we know the reason behind that. I still can’t believe those paparazzi players drove those two out of town. Thanks to them, they haven’t been in
[Zedi29:
It’s not like we have a choice. We have to respect their privacy since they are a [Guardian Player] and minor player duo.]
[VailOFgl0ry:
The last time I saw one of them was with that Hunter guy by the town’s entrance, but I won’t say anymore since he did something... a bit scary.]
[7PlayCool:
Wait, are you saying...]
[VailOFgl0ry:
No, no, no, no! That’s not it. He was just smacking his bow and sword sheath on a knight and a gunslinger’s head a bunch of times and shouting at them. I didn’t want to approach him because he seemed to be pretty peeved at them.]
[7PlayCool:
Oh. Well, that’s a relief.]
[EveryM4N:
Still, this is a bit of a problem. If more NPC stores in
[Vivi4Fan:
Huh? Why do you think that’s a problem?]
[EveryM4N:
Not many players have an [Alchemy Mastery] since most of the potions at the NPC shops are cheaper than the ones that even the [Insignis] kid sell. If this keeps up, there’ll no way for us to survive in battles, even with a healer’s help.]
[Zedi29:
I checked on the player census and you’re right about that fact. And what you just told us and to answer your thread title, I have a feeling that it might not be a bug.]
[7PlayCool:
But that can’t be... The official site didn’t mention any updates or events related to the NPCs.]
[VailOFgl0ry:
Maybe something happened to the game world itself. Don’t forget we’re playing a game that boasted to have a “state-of-the-art” advanced AI into the world.]
[7PlayCool:
Whatever it is, if we don’t do something soon, then this game might go under...]
[Vivi4Fan:
Oh, where are Wind and Kazu when you need them?! T_T]
