Author | Out Of Stock Artifacts |
How come most of the Artifacts at the Artifact Shop are always out of stock. How can anyone buy them if they are always out? :/ |
depends on which artifacts you mean. the most you can buy on the map at facilities. |
Yes, I know I can buy the artifacts at alternate locations, but they are less expensive at the Artifact Shop but they are always out of stock. :/ |
They are not out of stock. Even if they are displayed with 0, there is a link where to buy them on the map. E.g., Light axe is shown with 0 in the Artifact Shop, but down the box you can see "Alternative purchase sites". If you click on that, you will reach

Now click on "Light axe works" and you will reach

which is the factory where is produced the light axe. You will see that there are 1310 pieces available. All you need is to move to Great Capital from Yellow Lake and to have 1 wood, 1 ore and 500 gp (gold pieces). :) |
click on alternative purchase sites and it will tell you where to buy it. But it will be always more expensive than it says in the artifact shop. |
The prices in the Artifact Shop are old and unupdated. Don't follow those prices if the arts are available in the factories. |
I think Zephyranna has a point.
Most of the artifacts at the shop are ALWAYS out of stock, regardless of them being at facilities or not. They have a price that is useless (because you buy them at facilities with a different price...).
Imagine a supermarket with empty shelves or better yet instead of say for example bread you find a brochure with the address of the bread-factory, telling you to go there to buy it there.... |
The arts in the Artifact Shop are out of stock since the factories which produce them were introduced. If everybody would buy from the Artifact Shop, you wouldn't be able to work, so, no earning. Think about this aspect as well. |
The Artifact Shop isn't meant to be like a supermarket where you can buy your arts. It just a temporary place for you to buy arts until the admins introduce the production factories.
It's also a place for them to test arts like this:

Ah okay, that explains it much better. Thanks for helpful responses. :) |
