It used to be that stores would recharge items you sold to them, even with the no-selling option. You'd get zero gold for the sale, but you could buy the item back recharged. That doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Was the change intentional?

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Then it's not working in the latest version. Tried it with a wand of stone to mud and a staff of identify in the Magic Shop. No recharge. In the case of the stone to mud (0 charges) bought back with 0 charges. Then I tested it with Identify. In the case of the Staff of Identify, there were staves of identify already in the store. Instead of recharging, it split the charges across all the staves including the (0 charge) staff I just sold, thereby reducing the average charges. I'd have been better off not selling the identify, dropping it, and buying a new one.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

I've just downloaded the latest build (angband-v3.5-dev-593-g3151e57) and I cannot reproduce this. I emptied a wand of magic missiles and sold it to the shop where there was a wand of magic missiles with 12 charges. The result was 2 wands of magic missiles with 21 charges. Tried with other devices and all recharged.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

I just tried again to reproduce it. The first case, where the store doesn't currently have the particular item - selling a zero charge item results in a zero charge item for sale in the store -- no recharge. But, the second case, where the store does currently have the particular item - selling a zero charge item results in a recharge. I couldn't reproduce the second case problem that I had earlier.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Well, since the magic shop would never stock either a wand of stone to mud or a wand of annihilation, they are not capable of recharging one.Comment

normal:wand:Sleep Monster
normal:wand:Magic Missile
normal:wand:Stinking Cloud
normal:wand:Wonder
normal:staff:Teleportation
