Remove only: this consignment lot is over your limit

IcterusGalbula · 07-14-2007, 11:50 AM

What does that mean and how do I avoid getting that message again?

I was crafting a rare-based item this morning and the system went down. Once the system came back up I found that I had successfully completed the pristine item even though I was only 40% through then the game rebooted. When I tried to place the item on the broker I got the message:

"Remove only: this consignment lot is over your limit"

So I removed two items from the broker and replaced one of them with the rare-based item I'd just created. I do not understand, however, why I was over my limit. I did not realize I had a limit other than the number of broker slots I could afford to purchase (i.e., the size of my house and the size of the salesman's crates I use).

I have several crafters selling items, but only one merchant actively sells at a time to my knowledge. This is a game constraint and not one I can control in any way, to my knowledge.

The crafter who got the message is Level 7. Is there a limit to the number of items a Level 7 crafter can sell? I am almost 100% certain this crafter has had more items for sale on the broker at one time than he does now.

Maybe the message was a bug related to the crash of the system?

Maybe there is a limit to the total number of items all of my crafters (i.e., one account) can have on the broker even though all of those items are not for sale simultaneously?

Thanks for any thoughts on this matter. If this was not a bug, I may need to adjust my plans.

I've absolutely no clue - never seen that message. As far as I know you're only limited by the number of boxes you can cram in your available broker slots.

there seems to be a few new 'error' messages that have crept in since the last GU. I was trying to restock my broker, by dragging an ebony sales crate into my veteran display stand. There where already 3 crates in it, but plenty of space (think 11 spaces available) The crate would not go into the stand, and I got the message 'quantity?' every time i tried. I removed all of the crates from the stand and when I tried to put them back, got the same 'quantity' message. I emptied the veteran stand, removed it from the broker and replaced it, and now everything is fine. I 'bugged' this in game. Also, heard of a couple of people getting strange options from the crafting trainers when they try to pick their lvl 10 profession. Can't remember the exact wording, but where getting options that read as something like 1) too long to report. 2) too long to report and other weirdness.

Thanks for the replies. I'll wait and see if the message I mentioned reappears. If it does I can bump this thread. I do not know how to report things in game.

BTW, I do not know if this is a bug, but twice now a crafter has been able to skip Level 19. By that I mean, he achieves Level 19 and goes to buy the Level 19 Essentials book. At that point he is then asked to choose his profession and immediately afterwards becomes Level 20. So he never has to craft at Level 19. Maybe it is a reward for being a really great crafter! Or maybe it is a bug.

Another "bug" that bothers me a lot is I frequently cannot examine an item when I select that item in my recipe book. I can see the recipe for the item, but I cannot see the properties of the item. The only way I can see the properties of the item is to make the item or find it on the broker. My ability to see the properties of the item from the recipe book seems to come and go in a rather random fashion. At least I've not been able to figure out what I'm doing differently when I can see the item's properties versus when I cannot see them.

That's a known feature. It also occurs at level 9. As soon as you ding 9 or 19 you can go talk to the trainer, select your specialization and instantly get bumped up to 10 or 20. As for examining the product of a recipe, what you need to do is examine the recipe, select one of the product icon images (there's a row of 4 boxes for quality of results, and another one just above), right-click on the icon and do an Examine Product. Doing this on the upper image is the only way to see the product for a recipe you haven't done yet, as there aren't any boxes filled in in the 4-box row. There should also be tool-tips, but I've found them to be not consistently there.

Thanks for the relies. Regarding item properties, what I have been doing is:

opening the recipe book

left clicking on the product I want to highlite it

right clicking once it is highlited

left clicking on "Examine"

right clicking on the name of the product next to its picture

left clicking on "Examine Product" to see its properties.

Sometimes the properties appear and sometimes they do not. I'll try just left clicking on the picture of the product.
