Talk:Bargains

An observation on Bargains and how they (might) work: Every Bargains has a type. Each port have tags that define what bargains may appear on its Bazaar. For example the Bargain A mercantile menagerie is tagged as "Villainy" type Bargain. This means that the Bargain will appear in port's bazaar that has "Villainy" tags. Here is the full ports data: https://github.com/alanhuang122/skyless-utils/blob/master/ports.txt.

Below are the list of ports and what type of Bargains may appear on it:

Port Avon: Avon, Reach, Rural Magdalene's: Magdalenes, Reach, Villainy, Crossroads Titania: Titania, Reach, Bohemia Polmear & Plenty's Inconceivable Circus: Circus, Reach, Crossroads Carillon: Carillon, Reach, Establishment, Infernal Port Prosper: Prosper, Reach, Establishment, Urban, Stovepipe Hybras: Rural, Reach Leadbeater & Stainrod's Nature Reserve: NatureReserve, Reach, Academe Lustrum: Lustrum, Reach, Villainy, Tackety Traitor's Wood: TraitorsWood, Reach, Academe, Wild

The Brabazon Workworld: Albion, Brabazon, Poor, Villainy The Most Serene Mausoleum: Albion, Mausoleum, Establishment, Bohemia Perdurance: Albion, Perdurance, Establishment Avid Horizon: albion, AvidHorizon, Villainy The Royal Society: RoyalSociety, Academe The Floating Parliament: Albion, Parliament, Bohemia Worlebury-juxta-Mare: Albion, Worlebury, Establishment, Villainy The Clockwork Sun: Albion, ClockworkSun

Achlys: Achlys, Eleutheria, Villainy Caduceus: Caduceus, Eleutheria, Bohemia Eagle's Empyrean: Empyrean, Eleutheria The House of Rods and Chains: HouseOfRodsAndChains, Eleutheria Langley Hall: Langley, Eleutheria, Academe, Villainy Piranesi: Piranesi, Eleutheria, Academe

The White Well: KingdomWhiteWell Death's Door: Kingdom, DeathsDoor The Forge of Souls: Kingdom, ForgeOfSouls

Bold are tags that currently have no Bargains Italicized are tags that do have Bargain, but said Bargains tag are misnamed

=Problem= As seen from the list above, the Bazaar on The Royal Society and Avid Horizon should provide Airy-tagged bargain and Horizon-tagged bargain respectively. Well they're supposed to, both of the bargain description allude to Royal Society and Avid Horizon. The tag also explicitly named both of the place ("Airy" refers to a building on the Royal Society, and "Horizon" refers to Avid Horizon).

Well they didn't

Let's assume that Royal Society produce bargains that are tagged as "Airy" and "Academe". For experimental purpose, I use save editing to remove my Academe affiliation and unequipped my Defiant Devil. Here is what appear in TRS bazaar: Nothing. Given that I have nothing to unlock Academe-tagged bargains, The Racer's Muse should've appeared here.

Then I equipped my Defiant Devil, which gave my captain 2 Academe affiliation. I re-dock on TRS, and...

Next I try to do the same with Avid Horizon. Same thing, unequipped officer, remove Villainy affiliation, and...

Equipping the Brilliant Eccentric (+1 Boheme and +1 Villainy)

To further proven this, I unequipped the eccentric and use save editing to increase my Date by 30 days. Supposedly this will reset the Bargains that appeared there. The result:

Once more

So it looks like the list need to be corrected: The Royal Society: Airy, Academe Avid Horizon: Horizon, Villainy

With that, I uploaded the Word document "Bargains.docx" to dropbox as an attempt to keep track on where a bargain may popped up. Bargains column that are colored yellow means that I have a proof (Screenshot) that said bargain appeared in that port.

 * Another problem I found by repeatedly trying to get a new bargain is that not even all the villany bargains show up in Avid Horizon. The Cask of Navaratine Gemstones villainy one doesn't show up there.BiscuitCookie (talk) 23:53, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * That's the case with the early access version as well. I'm removing the ≥ 6 Affiliation bargains for a while Inconvenient Albatross (talk) 15:07, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
