    Best watch out, Shifty, or they'll interpret and we'll wind up with 10 minute equips.

    But seriously, drop belt times to the same as NCU times - is there really some exploit you're preventing with the long times?

    The long equip on NCU belts DOES have a reson, as do the fact that you now have to unequip all the NCU's befor you can change the belt.

    What it does is Stopping low lvl Trader Twink's from getting Totaly buff, and then Cast the High Temp Comp. lit buff...
    They can still do this for the NCU's but not for the belt.

    Same goes for high lvl traders, its to prevent the buff from being a equiping buff, rather then a "shopping buff" as it was intended to be.

    So keep it as it is, how often do you change belt enyways?

    thats what you think, ill let you in on a secret:

    You delete the belt and you can suddely get on a super high belt anyway and rich people(as me =P) dont care about soem crappy shop belt.

    yeah

    As long as it doesnt got with exploiting to do I think it should be alot faster equipping the belt AND the ncu

    Alternately, the trader can acquire a fixer NCU buff, run their CL buff, and then they can equip a new belt completely legitimately, without the delete-belt trick.

    If FC doesn't want traders doing this, then they need to fix it. But there's no reason the rest of us should be suffering 1+ minute waits just because FC thinks it fixed something we all know traders can do.

    Not tooo bright to actualy say outloud something like that on here Ubbis. tsk tsk...

    Kiryat-Dharin, thats only correct for those who can selfcast the buff, So it would not work for a Twink, or some 1 who needs to Drain to cast it. Ofcouse this is only a problem at Lower lvl's as equiping a 6k-x belt is not realy a problem on, well... eny lvl 50+ char...

    Actually you’re wrong here. As you only need the trader buff to be active when you click the belt to up-load it. The buff can drop off before the belt equips and it makes no difference. Same with the ncu’s. It just means you have to cast it 7 times and burn through a bunch of nano packs to equip your 6 slot belt and ql139 ncu’s on your lvl 50 agent.

    Hehe, for the NCU, yes, you can... but for the belt you cant unequip all you NCU, unequip the old belt, and hit the new belt in time for it to equip...

    If you look at it...

    70s to equip or unequip a NCU belt.
    10s equip time for a NCU mem.

    Nano lasts 1min...

    so.. to cast it you need to have atleast 1 NCU in...
    meaning, to fist unequip 1 NCU and the belt takes 80s and the nano lasts 60s.

    so it do not work...

    What you are thinking of there was possible some patches ago, but not now. This was fixed to make the buff only work as what it was intended for.

    Nano Crystal (Bulk Trader)
    "Briefly increases the trader's Computer Literacy skill by 160 points in an attempt to gain discounts at shops."

    Only way it would work is if you have 5 NCU's or less in...
    exploit!!!
    And work damn hell fast.

    Or ofcouse do it with the Fixer NCU buff... but that still means you have to be abel to selfcast the thing, Virtualy unbuffed witch defeats low lvl traders doing this...
