A big change to shops and how they load stock and the owner is charged for it:
- Shop owners are no longer charged a weekly amount for shop stock as a part of their rent
- Shop owners can set (via talking to staff) how much of a particular item they want kept in stock
- Shops in Seahaven are restocked twice daily (every 12 hours).
- When a shop is restocked, the owner is charged whole sale rates, and is charged from the coin in their store room.
- If there is not enough coin in the storeroom, the shop is not restocked.
This should make it a lot easier for business owners to make money from their shop as they are only charged for what they sell. It is also MUCH more profitable to make your own stuff and put it in your storeroom for sale.
You can also set your items to sell for a greater price, ie, 150% of base value to make a bigger profit, but be careful, the competition might under-cut you!
