i bought it and equiped it, and when i sold goods I did not get any monetary bonus, anyone know what this does?

[Lord Badmagic]

If its the one I'm thinking off does it not say something like "+5% to gold found".

If thats the one I expect it to be the coin I "find" in containers and possibly loot and and even then, with a low percentage it wont be very noticable until the long run.

[kilrex]

I was wondering about it too.

It doesn't give any numbers that I remember in it's description.

I do know wearing the belt doesn't reduce the prices of goods from the dorf that sold it the belt to me



On a side note: I wish you could rough up that dorf a little to actually get a discount. I haven't reach too many other merchants yet, but so far his prices are all a little higher than the other's I have found so far.

[Lord Badmagic]

Ah, sorry miss-read the OP it must be a different item I'm thinking about, I recieved it from either loot or a random container early on.

I have it but haven't used it. Doesn't it increase the amount of money a merchant will give you for items that you sell?

I'll check this in a second, but I thought it just increased the money found on mobs and in chests, which makes it pretty weak.  Still, the bonus is probably pretty significant given the codex belt gives a hefty 50% bonus to experience (50 XP to 75 XP).

Grief that sounds kind of extreme, is this belt something sold in game or another "in the DLC" thing?

^ I bought the belt somewhere....I think. Also to clarify, the codex belt bonus only gives you experience boost when you click on a new codex item in the game, like the various books/scrolls lying about. The gain is noticeable though, you'll notice exp picking up significantly so it makes worth swapping it in and out.

Ah, thats not as bad as I initially though, miss-read it, thought it was general +Xp for things other than quests.  

For some reason what appears to be the standard "embarrased" emote on these boards has a flurry of "love hearts" around it so I'll resort to:

Anyone else know what this belt does? If it does work, does it matter who wears it?

From the description, I thought it would increase monetary rewards from quests. From a quick F5, hand in quest, F9, put on belt, hand in quest - it appears that this is not the case.



Thus I suppose it would either increase the money you get from selling items to merchants, or the amount of money that's found randomly. It should be easy to verify the former, and if it's the latter then it's pointless anyway (as I suspect probably around 5% or so of my cash has come from actual money lying around; the majority is loot and quest rewards).



Or it could just be bugged.

[blaalindorm]

Using the toolset, it has an item property of "increases monetary gain" with a power of "1". Does that mean it's 1%?



Interesting, the memory band ring has no item properties at all!

[Sarakinoi]

>>> or the amount of money that's found randomly.

I tested that + shops, and no it gives nothing. Either it won't work, is unfinished part of the game, or the bonus is so ridiculously low that it won't even give an extra 1 copper coin in a transaction.

And no it is not even 1%. A gold coin = 10.000 copper coins, and when selling expensive items worth gold I did not even get a copper, so it is less than 1% or even 0.1%, I'd say it does not work at all.

The Dwarven Merchant's Belt does increase monetary gain... For the merchant.
You bought the thing didn't you? :innocent:

LOL, I did indeed, what a scam!

So that item property of "increases monetary gain" is non-functional then?

[Bluto Blutarskyx]

i don't know but i equip one of the party with it usually.

[Chibiabos]

I've checked using F5 before looting a corpse that I found had gold. It gave me the same gold whether I looted the corpse with or without the belt equipped.

It comes on a promo item too: Guildmaster's Belt.

[SushiSquid]

Corpse loot is determined when the creature dies though, right? Try equipping the belt and then killing a mob. Compare this to not equipping the belt and killing the mob. Do a few runs of this and look at the results and you should see if the belt works or if it does nothing.

[SushiSquid]

I've now tested it enough to conclude that the Dwarven Merchent Belt has no discernible effect on money gained from enemy corpses. I have no idea, then, what the item actually does.

[kgls13349]

I created a custom belt with the same attribute to test, i set the power to 1000, at this level there should be a very obvious effect but i see none, the character i tested on is still in ostagar, but i checked the sell and buy prices for items from the quartermaster, and i checked the money gain from corpses, killed a few darkspawn in the wilds, the cash i get from a corpse is around 12 copper without and, Shock horror around 12 with it, i think i can safely say that attribute does nothing:crying:

Another feature..erm...bug for the team to fix in a patch. Not that this game has tons, I think it has about an average number of bugs for a release these days. Ahh for Blizzard's QA team (and 10 year development time).



The biggest bugs that annoy me are the constant quests that due to my actions or the game I cannot complete but I still see the "!" on the map or on my "Current Quests" codex. Wish there was a way to drop quests that you cannot complete.
