Alchemist Crafting & Artisan's Shop Discount

[The Todd]

Do raw materials for crafting count as merchandise for the 5% discount for the Artisan's Shop Vanity?

By the definition of merchandise, I would say yes, but I'm unsure of what the game definition of merchandise would be.

Side Question on another Vanity. Is there a good thread on the Master of Trade Vanity and how best to utilize it. I'm about to pick that one up too.

The game never makes a specific definition of "merchandise", so I'd say use the normal definition.

Just keep in mind that you round the price to the nearest GP.

So it should be legal for me to purchase raw materials for alchemical items at a 5% discount. I'm a nickel and dimer and will use it to my benefit.

Considering how fast alchemical items can chew through your cash, even when crafting, I don't exactly blame you.
