Game's difficulty suddenly shot up quite a few notches. Over half of the customers now bring unfavorable deals, often by quite a large margin (I'm talking like 70 gold under value for a basic healing potion), and despite sinking all of my skill points into bargaining haggling rarely works. I'm still only level 7 here, don't have a thug and can't even begin to afford another workshop to get another craftsman.
If I may suggest... either haggle or don't deal with the stingy adventurerbeatnik at all... or if you really want the sale but can't stomach the mark-down, offer something else with a lower margin. Just make sure its profitable. It still takes time to make the item.
The time of my wageslaves is money. That product took X hours to make, cost Y amount in materials and/or takes lots of Z materials.
Also, I exclusively leveled in +quest... and havn't used any of the bonus boosts... pretty well off last I checked.
Perhaps I'm just not getting it right, but I've had offering fail more often than haggling.
The only quest I've had so far is something about stolen four-leaf clovers, and that was nearly 20 in-game days ago. The quest still hasn't been completed.
