Function Syntax

int mall_price(item shop_for )

• shop_for is the item to inquire on the mall price of

Returns the current mall price of the given item, ignoring the first five items listed to compensate for stores with limits and min-priced sales. To prevent abuse, this will only perform an actual Mall search once per item per session; subsequent calls for the same item will return a cached value. The cache will be updated after attempts to purchase the item (even unsuccessful ones), but not in any other conditions.

CLI Equivalent

The CLI command "searchmall" also returns current mall prices.
