Umm is there some reference I don't get? I always thought that shopkeepers in nethack gave fair prices.

Not if you have low charisma, they don't...

This is a decent-ish comic. Fair.




Money is pretty useless in NetHack, anyway.

You hear someone complaining about the prices.
You hear someone whisper "Food rations? Only 900 zorkmids!"

Play as a touristThe road from Ankh-Morpork to Chrim is high, white and
winding, a thirty-league stretch of potholes and half-buried
rocks that spirals around mountains and dips into cool green
valleys of citrus trees, crosses liana-webbed gorges on
creaking rope bridges and is generally more picturesque than
useful.
Picturesque. That was a new word to Rincewind the wizard
(BMgc, Unseen University [failed]). It was one of a number
he had picked up since leaving the charred ruins of
Ankh-Morpork. Quaint was another one. Picturesque meant --
he decided after careful observation of the scenery that
inspired Twoflower to use the word -- that the landscape was
horribly precipitous. Quaint, when used to describe the
occasional village through which they passed, meant fever-
ridden and tumbledown.
Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the discworld.
Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant "idiot".

with a CHA of 3.

PS
No wonder food and oil prices are going up: more tourism.

I hate it how Elves have such a low starting Ch. Elves are supposed to be hot!

That's Tolkien elves. Mythology elves are often ugly. Nethack elves, being chaotic, are closer to the latter than the former.

But if you have low cha then you just have dogley (or catley or horsely) steal everything from the store.

The prices aren't fair anyway most of the time. They sell you unID'd gems for thousands and they buy them back for a single gold pieceA metal of characteristic yellow colour, the most precious
metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. Symbol,
Au; at. no. 79; at. wt. 197.2. It is the most malleable
and ductile of all metals, and very heavy (sp. gr., 19.3).
It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most
corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in
coin and jewelry.
