[edit] Resetting Inventory

I have seen his inventory reset, if I remember correctly it was about 300-400 days into the game, when I used to play it on my Xbox; don't know if that's a factor in it or not; I never played for that long on PC to find out, but it definitely reset on my Xbox, the vast majority of people will never see it however. 88.108.60.201 22:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

On Xbox GotY, there are two things that can reset the Creeper's inventory. One is time, as mentioned above, and it may be time between visits. Happens to me almost every game, when I get busy doing quests. The other is a peculiar bug, involving dropping all your gold from your inventory, for example when getting exactly 11171 gold to upgrade to Morrowind:Eltonbrand. --Benould^•T•C 15:50, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

His inventory will not reset. I've seen it at day 1 from day 345 or so. He still has the same inventory.83.189.239.88

I don't know exactly how long I played the game, but I know it had to be at least several hundred game days, and I've never seen his inventory resets. Unless someone can come up with proof or a reason why it would, I'm changing the article to indicate it's a possible problem and not a certain one. --Mike | Contrib 17:26, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

I think it's less a time issue and more just how much stuff you give him. If you use him all the time and sell him thousands of items, at some point I think he loses track of it all, or at least appears to. (It may be that if you buy some of his stuff back, the items that disappeared will come back again. I think it was something like that.) --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 17:36, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Could it be similar to the problem in Oblivion with containers being too full and no longer displaying all items there, even though they still are there? If so, is there someone who can test this?--Mike | Contrib 02:45, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

I've tested it by selling him every single one of my alchemical experiments and his inventory hasn't reset; neither have some things disappeared from it. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 02:59, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Wealthy Merchant?

Shouldn't Creeper be classed as a "wealthy" merchant? He has well over 1000 gold, but he is missing the wealthy merchant classification. I would do this myself, but I have no idea how. And somehing else to note, the mudcrab merchant is missing it too. --Xyntfos 00:28, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Good catch. The problem was that the Wealth template which adds those categories to NPC pages via the NPC Summary template was never implemented on the Creature Summary template used on these pages. I've fixed it, and updated the two pages to make them appear immediately. (The other creature merchants will appear after the job queue gets to them, but they'll all end up listed as "Broke" merchants, because none of them have any money, just as well, since they don't have anything to sell, and are all hostile anyhow.) --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 00:51, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Duplicating Money Glitch

There is a bug with this character that let's you multiply gold. If you sell Creeper all of your gold up to 5000 you will not lose your money but he will lose all of his. If you wait 24 hours and do it again you can further duplicate your money and then when you kill him he will have all the money you "sold" to him. --Notackan 7:24, 28 January 2009 (EDT)

In other words, do what's already described here - as linked to from the article. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:03, 31 January 2009 (EST)
