Adding New MerchantsFollow

How does one go about adding new merchants that aren't in the Allakhazam database? Mentioning them in the page of an item that they carry doesn't seem to work. The merchant Florence (a rock star with a single name) in West Karana carries an item but is not listed as a merchant.

Do you have to buy an item from them (much like making an unknown item gets it created in Lucy)? Do we just go to the page for an item they carry and send the log of complete items on this merchant?

I am unsure what you mean. I have run the Item Collector for quite awhile, loaded in my startup directory. I have made new items and had Allakhazam create the page about the item quickly and then I would enter the recipe to make it and Fleven respond and update the page with the recipe. The problem is this is a merchant named Florence in West Karana.

How would I get the Item Collector to recognize the merchant? I tried buying his item and selling it back but he doesn't show up, even 30 minutes later like now that I tested it. Your assistance is appreciated.

I also took your advice and sent a message to eqteam@allakhazam with the line of text he says of the item he has to sell, as well as a jpeg of him standing by the shack. Just curious which paths of introductions are available is all.
