Title: Damn elf traders
Post by: Ruttiger on March 20, 2008, 11:00:00 am

I don't get it, I offer them a bunch of stuff made of rock and they still chew me out for cutting trees.  Do I have to make sure they can't see my wooden bins to get them to actually trade?  Are obsidian swords magically made of wood or something?

Yeah.  They have an obsidian blade mounted in a wooden handle.

in addition to obsidian swords having wood components, if you are trading items in bins then you need to make sure that you are not trading the bin its self.  select the individual items from the bin, but dont group-select them by clicking on the bin.
