The Market, Purchasing

[Dorn]

Hmph. Either I'm screwing with the syntax, or mucking it up somehow... but if not, can we get a way of ordering multiple items at once from the marketplace and have it all go in a container like a normal store?

[Jirato]

The market is kinda considered for bulk purchases of large commodities that would not normally be carried around in containers. That's why there's already a system in place to order multiple items directly into a handcart or wagon. Not saying we'll never add the ability to order into a held container, but the order command is kinda messy. For now, please just use a handcart or wagon. I'll see about updating it later.

[Shadgard, Market Street] (market) { sg_market | shadgard | shadgard } (OutUr) [semiarid] Chilly, Fair, Calm
This open plaza is filled with townsfolk, some manning booths or stalls, all haggling with each other in an attempt to buy or sell commodities. A narrow alley winds
between the General Store and a large warehouse on the south side of the street, while a similarly narrow passage squeezes between an annex and depot on the northern side
of the street.
There is quite a crowd of people here. The area is very noisy.
You also notice a large sign and a pine handcart (being pulled by yourself).
There are some homes here.
Obvious paths: west, northeast.

Okay J, thanks for the reply. Saw 200 comfrey, and was all "Heck yes!". I'll pop off for a handcart next time quickly before I raid it all.
