Stone: Antisocial removal

You cannot buy or sell items from NPCs.

When you go to merchant NPCs, the options to buy or sell will not appear.

This affects Tavern, General Store, Booksellers, and Weapon and armor sellers.

You'll still be able to purchase special items:

Magic Sigils from the White Stone magic shops
Nexus from Costel in Port Anitora
Special discount sales of wine (Vesine) and leather (Kelcha) after completing their respective quests
Lottery tickets from Tombolarul in Ghram's Village
Priests will still handle your god worship and any special sales they may provide if you worship that god
The Wraith and Redeemer will still work as normal
The boat in White Stone to go to Port Anitora can still be used, but will cost 250gc instead of 100gc.

Because you're allowed to have multiple characters these days, you can create a second character to use to buy items from NPCs.

That way, you can take this perk and get the "free" pickpoints, and still be able to buy NPC items.

Remember you'll have to build that character up a bit to allow it to have enough EMU to carry purchased items.

It's a minor hassle, but you may find it worth the pickpoints.
