Game MechanicsThe galaxy wide vendor search is a system added with the publish 14.1 patch which allows player vendor contents to be displayed through the bazaar system. The system includes keyword searching and price filters that allow players to input the name or partial name of an item and / or designate a min or max price to sort results by. The system also includes a way for players to create waypoints to the vendor location and more identifiable information about the particular vendor such as its current distance from the player's location and any relevant access fees set at the vendor residence. By default, player vendors are automatically included in the system at creation. If a player wishes their vendor to be listed on the galaxy wide vendor search the player must open the Vendor Control radial menu and select the Enable Vendor Search radial option. To turn it off the player must select the Disable Vendor Search option. In order to view the galaxy wide vendor search results or to perform search queries, a player must first use a bazaar terminal. Galaxy Wide vendor searching cannot be performed from player vendors.
Special Features of the Galaxy Wide vendor Search
Players can filter out item listings by entering in item names or partial names. The system will match up all references to that query. The queries are not case sensitive. Min and Max price filter Players can refine a search by entering in a minimum or maximum value or min and max range to sort items by. Items with a min value set and no max value will only display items that match the min value. If a min value is set that isn't equal to or greater than the value set for the high-value will then all possible values within that min-max range will be returned in the search. Example 1. A min value set to 0 and a max value set to 1000 will return all items valued between 0 and 1000 Example 2. A min value set to 1000 and a max value set to 5000 will return all items valued at 1000 through 5000.
Distance Distance is a UI feature unique to Galaxy Wide Vendor searches. When a player selects the Vendor Location tab on the bazaar window, the player is presented with a listing of items along with the distance from the player's current position to the vendor that houses the particular item being looked at. Distance is only shown for items on the same planet as the player. Access Fee Access Fee is a UI feature unique to Galaxy Wide Vendor searches. When a player selects the Vendor Location tab on the bazaar window, the player is presented with a listing of items along with the access fee associated with the structure that houses the vendor that the item is on.
