Welcome to the forum, darkova! And yes, the bins do renew their inventory, supposedly on a nightly basis. Are yours refusing to renew?
ah thanks uhhh i havent had enought time to recheck a bin (because i keep dying and forget to save) so i was just curious and as a follow up do shopkeeps change their inventory only after you buy steal or gamble something from them? or does it rotate reguraly
In my experience (which is not as large as rroyo's, who can give you a more correct answer), they rotate on a monthly basis. At least the gypsy women do, I have not checked anyone else.
Actually, all the merchants restock nightly, with some variation in inventory - 5% chance of this, 20% chance of that.... With a little luck and perfect timing, it could seem that they have a completely different stock than what they did on your last visit.
Step 1: Loot bin. Step 2: Move camera far enough away that bin/shop keeper inventory is no longer on screen. Step 3: Rest until morning or 1 day. Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit Seems to work for every shop keeper and rubbish bin as long as they are not on screen at the time of resting.
