Am I doing it wrong?...

[TRiCiDE]

...I thought you could feign death and use merchants. I just tried on Fizzlecutter. Is there a trick to it?

[Deathrydar]

I believe you have to sneak+Feign Death

[Baler]

it's just sneak for merchants, but idk if that still works.

FD is for banking

edit: If i'm wrong please correct me.

[TRiCiDE]

I dont get sneak though do I :(

[bum3]

FD nor hide/invis works on merchants. You gotta be sneaky sneaky.

[TRiCiDE]

Well, shit , this just destroyed all my dreams.

I dont know about merchants, but you can use banks like in Freeport by just being behind the wall.

Sneak = allows you to vendor with anyone as long as you are behind them and get a successful sneak off. This allowed my Iksar Monk to purchase his very own Tink Bag from those spiteful gnomes in Sol A

FD = allows you to bank with bankers that normally hate you. FD does not allow you to vendor with merchants. Bankers will still beat-up on you as soon as you stand-up from FD if you are within range

Thx for the plat the other day on my cleric to get some spells.

[pink grapefruit]

does sneak work for banking too

[Jimjam]

Anyone can bank anywhere. The banker will literally let you store and remove items and coin as he attempts to beat you to death.

So sneaking from behind doesn't 'let you bank' as you always could bank... It will stop the banker from deciding to attack you though.

As long as the banker isn't in line of sight, he can't know you're there... so you can bank freely <3

As for vendors, make pals with the druid ring vendors in WC/Butcher/Steamfont/Tox/etc...and assuming you have a safe city somewhere (Neriak/Akanon?) you can always get food/water/gems for spells that way.

Welcome to the dark side :)

If you want to vendor in FP, just go to sewers through invisible tunnel in newbie yard. Generally safe and easy to get to as long as you don’t fall into the water with the drowned citizens. Also spell vendors and Necro trainer down there. They love darkies 😁

If you're talking about a DE necro using Freeport merchants & Banker, the Janam & Rebby note passing quest will give you what you want with about 18 total quest runs to them and back. This will not take care of your being KoS to the North Freeport guards, but you get gather shadows at 8 so walking into the bank and sitting behind them, LoS blocked from the one guard in the room, is doable.
