Suggest

Many customers coming into your shop ask for goods which you cannot make yet or of which you are currently out of stock.

With the possibility to suggest an item to a customer you can solve that. Click on the customer, click on the suggest button and click on an appropriate item of the same category, for instance weaponry, consumables, instruments or accessories.

Even if you have the requested item in stock, it may be more profitable for you to suggest an item with a (much) higher price. Notice that you also see a market price. This is how much lower or higher (in gold, but it's actually a percentage) this is then the standard price.

Be careful though, as you cannot haggle on the new item. The price rate remains the same as the previous item. (i.e: If a buyer asks for a short sword at 60% market price and you successfully suggest a toy sword, you will automatically sell it for 60% market price). (e.g.: Using the picture below the bard is looking to buy a bard's lute (market price 3340g) at the price of 2351g, which is ~30% below the market price. Instead you offer her a performer's lute (market price 6505g) the sell price of the performer's lute will be ~ 4554g (6505g -30%)



If you fail a suggestion, there will be a penalty (15% of the potential sale price of item) applied to your XP for the day. However, these penalties are not tallied at the end of the day; rather, they are deducted as you play through the day. Therefore if your first potential sale of the day results in a failed suggest, no XP will be deducted since the minimum XP you can gain per day is 0.

Most suggestions are only successful if they are in same category. This is indicated by the little icon in the upper left corner. You are only able to suggest items that the customer will actually buy.

However: consumables and accessories are usually suggestable to anyone, though with a lower chance, blunt weapons and swords can also be exchanged. A full list of acceptance by class can be found elsewhere in the wiki.

If haggling is possible before attempting a suggestion (you have the requested item), the chance of the suggestion drops by half (60% goes to 30%), and thus the chance of a succesfull haggle is a lot less likely.
