Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks help need it on understend the sell system.

hi mates,
i am playing for the first time, and i adore the game!!, it makes me remeber a game i had played in the old Amiga 500 Plus 16 years ago.(i can't remember that game name anymore).
i fell i will ask something very stupid,,,but i realy need to understend this.
maybe because i am yet too noob on the game, some "numbers" make me very confused, especialy when i try to understend what is "weight" numbers, and what is "total gold" numbers, and here strats my problem.
each time i try to sell something, i always receve the message asking me if i realy want to pay more for the iten then what it's worth!!,,,how can i "Pay", if i am selling?
next,,,i realy can't figure yet how much gold i have, because if i look in the iventory, i have almoust all the time the same white number under my gold pile icone!!,,,abd each time i try to sell something, i have the feel that i am loosing money instead of gain...i am realy lost, and i need to understend this to start to save money for certain itens and get skills on the teachers.

when i am inside the shop, i see another numbers that i do not have a clue about what they are!!, it's the orange numbers below each char picture. first i assumed that number was my gold total...but after i notice the chopkeeper have a number too, i get confused. i notice also that if i click on a iten to sell, that number always decrese...what have ruined my theory about it be my gold total..lol.
i tryed to red on the manual and i just get even more confused,,,and about that 2 botuns for "balance" the trade,,,omg...i don't understend at all.

can some one with patience please teach me all that economic system and how it works?!

i will apreciate a lot mates, and thx in advance for any help on this subject <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

P.S.- I forget to ask something about the game version. i see many people talking about version 1.64 & 1.65... i get the game yesterday, and it says it's V1.100! so, this must be seen as the first of all versions, or it is more updated then the .64 e .65? thx in advance.

There is a scale/balance icon on the right for each character, where you can have them balance the value of the trade goods with gold (up to the amount they have). The total amount you have offered for trade or sale is listed, as it is for the merchant (the total value of each inventory is also listed). If a merchant does not have enough gold to cover what you are offering for trade, you will have to purchase goods as well, or reduce what you are offering. With the patch installed you can make repeated trips to the BF to sell everything.

When the trade window first opens, the numbers by each character portrait are the total values of each inventory. Think of the centre windows as a table where you place any goods you want to sell or trade, and do the same for the merchant for any items you wish to purchase. The total value of goods on the table for each character are listed on the right. Since you don't usually have the exact value of goods to trade for what you want, the balance icons basically even out the value. If you place a bunch of loot on the table worth 2000 gold, then click the merchant's balance icon, it will put 2000 gold on his his side of the table. If he only has 1500 gold, it will place that on the table, and you have the option of removing some equipment (and re-balancing the gold amount if you can not remove exactly 500 gold worth of stuff) or giving him more stuff than you are getting in return.

The total gold each character has is listed on the inventory screen. When trading gold (or other stackable items) may be moved to the character in the lead.


The original release version is 1.1, while the latest patch is 1.45, so you should update. There is also a version 1.46 that the UK publisher (at least) updated their production CDs to, and a 1.47 patch in development (no word on release date yet).
