I was out of game for awhile. How many items will the boxes on our caravans hold?

I've been told 300 items and a 10,000 stone limit

I have seen traders with all kinds of different caravans. I personally have gotten two, but they aren't like some of the ones that I've seen. If I could remember more details about the ones that I'd seen I'd post them, but unfortunately I don't.

How do you get all these different caravans? do you get to buy them when you get big enough? or just some special command to the clerk about what kind you want to rent?

Also, how many rooms ahead of your caravan can you go without losing it when you are leading it through town?

Different kinds of caravans are given depending on whether one rents them in ilithi <shard>, therengia <riverhaven> or zoluren <crossing>.


Among others:

therengia has blue, red and sleek black caravans.

zoluren has rickety, steel-wheeled,2 mule caravans.

ilithi has sithinnak caravans.


And no, they are rented, and it is random what you get beyond getting one from that particular province.


Of course, sometimes the GMs like to play jokes <such as on April fools> and you end up with sheep-led or polka-dotted caravans.

You can only go one room ahead of a caravan before it loses you. When it loses you, it will stop.

You can solve this by having the caravan LEAD to a destination, or, if you are scripting, by including "waitfor following you." after every MOVE command.

You can get a caravan with the RENT CARAvan comman, and it costs 400 coppers. It will work the same as a pack animal, but will carry more weight.

When you RENT, the caravan you get is random, but all caravans are created equally in terms of speed and quality (this may change in the future).

For other coolness factors, Shard has grumpy camels!
