What's the best strategy for getting the cemetery key? · · 4 likes

Haha, got it almost immediately after posting this.  Thanks everyone.

Two small changes to item market that would make life easier · · 0 likes

It would be really nice to have two small changes to the item market's UI for adding listings:

 

Firstly, numerical fields should be hinted as numeric inputs so that mobile browsers will present a numeric keypad instead of a full keyboard.  I'm not an expert but I think setting `inputmode="numeric"` on the input tag should do it.

 

Secondly, it would be nice to have a button to auto-fill the price field with the current market value, the same as there is a button to auto-fill the quantity field with the current inventory.  When I'm just having a clear-out of low-value inventory, particularly on mobile, it's annoying to have to type in all the values.  If you use the auto-fill button for the quantity, this involves the on-screen keyboard popping up and disappearing for each item you add to the market and the scroll position jumps around each time.  I should just be able to touch two buttons for each item, one to auto-fill the quantity and one to auto-fill the value.  I don't care that I could make a few dollars more on each item - I'm selling them to clear out the inventory, not to get every dollar out of it.

I'm at skill level 65 in search for cash and I've had the metal detector for ages but never seem to find the cemetery key.

 

Does it just turn up at random times, or does it appear straight after another attempt at search for cash?  Am I better off conserving my nerve bar to only search when the star lights up to indicate there is a unique find available, or should I search as much as possible in the hope that the star will light up?

 

Are there specific times it turns up?  As far as I can tell, it's not tied to a specific tide condition - right?

I'm not sure what's going on then - the star is not lit up.  I've checked torn.report and I definitely haven't found it yet.
