If you're getting map under maintainance then your zone may not be starting up and staying up. If you check the latest assert txt file, it'll be able to tell you where the problem lies and you can fix it then.

this is the error i get when i add something to item merchant pey. But it makes no since say invalid item index Fatalshadow i added BlessEl3

This is the error i get when adding BlessEl3 to the merchant

Adding invalid item to merchant doesn't crash the Zone.
The latest assert is fine, there is no crash report. Your Zone should be running just fine.
The first assert crashes because of the invalid mob "EldItemNina" you are trying to add to map.

Wondering - How hard is it to read that from assert. :glare:

Doesn't it? I always thought it had. Oh well there you go. I learnt something new, but it also took you to your answer though lol.

Change in your NPC.txt EldItemNina to EldItemMctNina
