How do you edit the loot tables for vendors?

I looked through the help PDF, and found nothing. I grepped through all the extracted game files, and found nothing. So I’m totally stumped on how to alter the contents of vendors’ offerings.

What I want to do is increase the spawn rate of green items, to make vendor farming less time consuming. I figure that perhaps tripling the spawn rate of greens will be sufficient, so you’re likely to get more than a single green ring, or the occasional 2 green weapons per reset.

I don’t want to reduce the prices, or turn every item into a green. I just want to make farming for good resist gear or double-rare weapons somewhat less frustrating.

I may be able to help a bit.

Taking the first merchant in DC as the one you want to edit.

You’ll find his loot list in:

records->items->creatures->npcs->merchants->merchanttbl_a01.dbr

From there you should be able to follow the paths in Market Tables to change the amount, items, and drop rate.

Oh, merchants, of course! I’d been searching for “vendor”. No wonder I couldn’t find the data I was looking for!

Thanks!
