6.11.1 SELLING PETS
Tamed pets are a marketable commodity in the Imperian marketplace. Using animal pens, a purchasable addon in shops, a shopkeeper is able to place a pet up for sale. Each pet in an animal pen will generate an upkeep tax, which will take away from the sale revenue.
PETSKILLS / PETCONSIDER / PETASSESS can all be used on pets being sold in a shop.
The following commands will only work in the stockroom of a shop and are either the owner of the shop or one of the owner's allies:
SHOP PURCHASE ANIMALPEN
- Purchase an animal pen in order to store pets in a safe environment in your shop.
- You can have a maximum of 20 pets in a single animal pen.
- Animal pens have all the same functionality of shelves, so the SHELF command applies.
- Animal pens currently cost 250k.
PETSHOP PRICE <pet> IN <animalpen> FOR <gold amount> [BASEPRICE]
- This is the syntax that which will lead your pet into the animal pen and set it up for sale.
- While the pet is in the animal pen, it will be cared after by a stable boy so that it remains fit for sale. It will generate an upkeep tax, similar to that of a pet in a stable/kennel.
- When the pet is bought from the shop, the upkeep tax for the pet will be deducted from the revenue automatically.
- If the upkeep tax is higher than the purchase price, the pet will not be purchasable.
- If BASEPRICE is used, then the price will become variable and evaluated as "GOLD# + UPKEEP".
- If you don't have "Transfer" in Taming then the pet will lose a little % of its skills.
PETSHOP RELEASE <pet> FROM <animalpen>
- This will remove your pet from the animal pen, removing it from sale.
- When removing a pet from the animal pen, you will be forced to pay the upkeep tax of the pet from gold in your inventory.
PETSHOP PAYUPKEEP <pet> IN <animalpen>
- If you are feeling generous to your customers then you can pay the upkeep tax associated with your pet.
- This is particularly useful if you're using the BASEPRICE option.
