I have been uploading missing NPC images and finally noticed that all the merchant-type NPCs in QH are Purpose = Merchant - even when their title is "Bowyer" or "Tailor" , etc. Yet one NPC, Sheldon Lamport , is actually listed under "Jeweler". Is there a reason for such distinction? Should Sheldon's purpose be set to Merchant, or should the other merchant types get their actual specialty listed in Purpose?

Merchant purposes have been inconsistently applied over the course of their introduction, and especially because of SOE's changing application of them since the game was first introduced. My personal preference is to apply "merchant" and not to specify the type because a type like "Jeweler" will create a single item category, which annoys my sense of organization. I don't believe there's a reason for the distinction. But I'm willing to be corrected. Can anyone else think of one?-- Kodia 22:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
