Not A Bug Trade Orders Missing Vendor (Requested Item)

[RedBeard]

Trade Orders are based on items found in the town the orders are generated. The Yew Bakery was altered for SW? I got an order for 10 sacks of flour from Yew to bring somewhere else, and cannot fill the order in the very town supposedly providing the commodity.

It is simply based on active NPCs on that map/region at the time a trade order is completed. It has nothing to do with any physical building.

If you get a trade order for something, there is an NPC somewhere in that town that sells it.

Dont think it suppose to be an easter egg hunt. straight forward get item then deliver.

Well, first off imagine being a new player to UO in general. I am sure the whole thing feels like an easter egg hunt until you do it a few times and notice where things are or that some items only appear on one NPC vs others that can spawn on a few different ones.

I am simply pointing out that if you get a trade order there is someone, somewhere in that region, that has the item.

In this case that miller has always been there. Yew getting a few shop changes didn't change the system you just need to look a little sometimes. Now that you know if you got one similar the next time, you know where to go.
