Equipment Loop
New adventurer equipment loop:
- Visit Erga's Newbie Shop
equip- Hunt a beginner area
- Inspect useful loot and
get all from corpse - Return to the Main Shop and sell ordinary loot, or carry a corpse burner
with
set autosell onto send ordinary equipment to Taylor as you hunt. Alternatively,set autorefine onconverts refinery-eligible equipment directly into saved profession materials - Bank spare coins
Taylor deducts 10% for automatic selling after applying the same Charisma and reputation appraisal he would use at his counter. Noteworthy gear is left on the corpse rather than transmitted.
Autosell and autorefine cannot be active together. Autorefine does not require a burner, uses normal Refinery yields, and permanently processes eligible equipment before autoloot. Keep it off when you want to inspect drops first.
At level 2 and above, check the Donation Room. Return useful donated gear when you are done with it.
