Buying, selling and transferring items
While banking, buying, selling or transferring to your player merchant ...
- press space to transfer/buy/sell 1 unit
- press shift-space to transfer/buy/sell 10 units
- press a to transfer/sell all units
The exceptions to these are gold & ammo; ammo (and bullets) has a base unit of 100, so pressing shift-space when buying/transferring ammo will move 1000 units. Gold has a base unit of 1000. When moving gold, shift-space will move 10000.
Filtering item lists
When viewing, dropping, banking, or anything that uses the scrolling item list, press one of the following keys to filter to subsets of items:
w: weapons W: wearables s: shields p: potions u: usables j: jewellry f: food A or v: show everything U: unidentified h: hats/head slot t: torso slot b: boots slot l: legs slot g: gloves r: rings n: neck S: scrolls and tomes
You can also search for items. Press / and type part of the name of an item to search for it in the list (press esc to exit)
eg:
- to show all your vamp items type /vamp
- to show all your dex items type /dex
The match works on the item's full name - not the list name. Eg some long names in the list are shortened (eg BR is blackrock) - type blackrock, not BR.
