Version 1.0
Hello World!
Tea Merchants - an addon for Ashfall
Suffering from Dysentery, Flu, or Food Poisoning? They can be treated by having tea (Disclaimer: this mod does not add tea). Yes, you heard it right, Tea Merchants offer tea that can help cure Ashfall diseases that the Temple and Imperial Cult cannot. This mod adds ten Tea Merchants in the wilderness across Vvardenfell. Gather ingredients for some of the Tea Merchants and enjoy an exclusive discount. A Guide to Tea Merchants, which can help you locate nine out of ten Tea Merchants, and a Tea Merchants' Bottle weapon can be found next to Vincea Dervayn, who camps outside the Shulk Egg Mine, south of Balmora.
Tea Merchant Mechanics
To buy a bottle of tea, talk to anyone whose class is "Tea Merchant" or anyone who is on the Tea Merchant List in the Mod Config Menu. Tea Merchant offers different types of tea based on what ingredients they have in their inventory, so you can give them the ingredient for specific types of tea you want. Most of them restock Comberry (for Cure Flu), Kresh Fiber (for Cure Food Poisoning), and Roobrush (for Cure Dysentery). There is also a Surprise Me option that is randomly picked from all tea types.
Wares-aware (if you are using the F&F plugin replacer)
All the Tea Merchants have been waresified. I added aa_trader_ingred00 and aa_trader_foods to the merchants' inventory.
Tea Merchants have been added to the traveling traders leveled lists. So if you want more Tea Merchants offer tea at more places, please install Wares and F&F. AND YOU MUST MERGE YOUR LEVELED LISTS.
Minor Quests for Discounts
Tea Merchants charge 25-35 drakes for each bottle, determined by your disposition and personality. But you can do either the Gather Golden Sedge quest or the Gather Scathecraw quest to have an exclusive lifetime discount!
Installation
Install with Mod Organizer 2 or Wrye Mash (recommended). Manual install is not recommended. If you don't have F&F installed, only install 00 Core. If you have F&F, install both 00 Core and 01 F&F. Make sure you install Ashfall as well. This is an Ashfall addon and it requires the latest version of MWSE. Run the MWSE-update just in case. Also you ABSOLUTELY MUST useTES3Merge to merge your levelled lists and objects.
Known Issues
If using with Magicka of the Third Era, sometimes bottles with tea inside will "duplicate" themselves after drinking tea. The workaround right now is to put the "duplicates" in the world and pick it up again. I haven't had the time to look into why two mods are not compatible. If you are not using that mod, this shouldn't be an issue. Ingredients owned by Tea Merchants but not in their inventory are not showing up at the tea select menu. Under certain circumstances, the Hot Tea button is greyed out despite the fact that the player has enough gold. The button is still perfectly functional though.
Compatibility
This mod is NOT compatible with OpenMW. This mod is compatible with mods that add new types of tea to Ashfall, like Caius' Rooftop Renovations (if you give a Tea Merchant some Blue Kanet, a Blue Kanet Tea option will show up in tea select menu.) This mod adds NPCs in the wilderness. So it is compatible with most of the city overhaul mods like Beautiful Cities of Morrowind. There are no landscape edits.
