TOPIC: Ammo & Alchemical Weapons for Trade Items?

The official Trade Item and Reserve Token Information thread states "Weapons" do not include Arrows, Bolts, Bullets, Holy Water, and Alchemist’s fire and that the following qualify as Misc. Items/Goods: (for Darkwood Planks)

<br />
• Rations
<br />
• Pole
<br />
• Chain
<br />
• Belladonna
<br />
• Berries
<br />
• Skunkweed
<br />
• Spyglass
<br />
• Tindertwig
<br />
• Bread
<br />
• Fruit
<br />
• Mistletoe
<br />
• Lyre of Rage
<br />
• Runestones
<br />
• Ioun Stones
<br />
• Orb of Acid

<br />It seems reasonable to me that if an Orb of Acid counts as Misc. Items/Goods, surely Holy Water and Alchemist Fire would as well, but I am not certain.<br /><br />That still leaves Ammo/Projectiles. Token Guide v7.0 puts Projectiles (Arrows, Bolts, and Bullets) in their own category, apart from Weapons and Misc. Items. I vaguely recall (but could not find) reading Dave had something planned specifically for them, but I'm not sure. Has that not materialized? Am I just having a "senior moment"? Does Ammo count as Misc. Items/Goods?

I believe you are correct as stated, and as of now "ammo" is not in any trade item category.

I would think Orb of Acid would count as a weapon since it has a damage wheel.  Perhaps Dave or Jeff can chime in on this.<br /><br />Kim

I am still waiting for the day that Holy Water can be used as a item for a Trade Item. I have like 150 of these things. Maybe they coudl be used in the chalice to do 1 HP of heal?

Ooo, I love that idea!

Ammo and Potions are not yet good for any Trade Item.  The Alchemical stuff that hasn't yet been assigned will probably be lumped in with Potions, but I'm not sure.  <br /><br />The next edition of the token guide should make things clearer.  <br />

Dave, is this still being discussed?

If I recall correctly (and I freely admit I am not a PTB, so my word is only my own) we were given the chance last year to choose between several groups of items to be tradable, and scrolls were chosen over potions.  I suspect this is because potions are usable by more players than scrolls, and are therefore more desirable to players.  I don't recall whether or not ammo was one of the groups we could have chosen.

I can only add a few each year.  And yes, your recall was correct that the most popular ones were selected.  <br /><br />I am thinking of adding some projectiles as an alternate formula for the morter and pestle that seems to have caused consternation for some.  I will publish the alternate formula when I have had a chance to think about it a bit more.<br /><br />I have not talked ot Jeff about it yet, but I am thinking I will request to add two more trade items next year.  Some of the possiblilities include:<br />1. Liquids (potions, water, etc.)<br />2. Ammo/projectiles (bullets, arrows, bolts)<br />3. Rings<br /><br />
