Trade Assistant Imp Quote Factors

As far as I know, the vehicle in use, cargo, and levels at trading posts change what the imp may say (i.e: "Wagon drift action!" when using a wagon, complimenting on reaching Taillteann level 5 etc.). Anyone else notice other variables?

Skills ranks. When you have r1 Production Mastery he asks "Isn't it hard to raise your production rank?"

It should be less than that. I'm a Rank 5 and the Imp still asks me that.

I have a noob with no production mastery as of yet (I...didn't quite do anything with him yet) and he still asks.

Ah, then never mind that. (Unless someone else finds something else subjective.)

Why are we using a transclusion for the quotes? There'd better be a good explanation for this.

So people don't have to look at the edit of the page when somebody edits a quote.

Please explain to me how that is a good explanation.

Also, i also saw the quote "Your Tir Chonail Merchant Rating Level is 6. Have you purchased the Wild Ginseng Potion?". However, you can buy the Ginseng potion at level 5....so is the quote more like "Your Tir Chonail Merchant Rating Level is x.. Have you purchased the Wild Ginseng Potion?" where x is the current rating level, or does it always say level 6?

Could be item based, too. I was carrying Tea Tables and he said "These Tea Tables are cracked! You should sells these to me" or something along the lines.

He just comments/make suggestions on the merchant levels of a town and does occasionally remarks about the stuff your are carrying.

I think it also has to do something about the Durability of your equipped items, too. He told me my helmet was about to break when my Stiff Tail Cap was at 3/11 Dura.

I'm not sure about the items you're carrying idea, UNLESS TOPAZ is a Tea Table. Somebody should look into the coding of the client files to see what the algorithm is for this.

He said that you were carrying Tea Tables while holding onto Topaz? o-o

But were you carrying Tea Tables earlier?
