Good hunting. (PS this is in the secure area for a reason. Keep it that way.)



Trading in your own continent will only allow you to turn in to a Gold Trader. Taking your trade pack to other continents, such as Haranya and Freedich Island, will allow you to choose between the Gold, Gilda, and Resource Traders. You will receive your chosen currency within 22 hours via mail. You can view the current return on delivery by clicking on the “Vocation” tab, then clicking “Trade Info.”



Each zone has a Specialty Crafting Workbench that will craft different trade packs. You can find the workbenches on your map, the listing is under Infrastructure-Specialty Workbench. It cost 60 LP (labor points) to craft the trade pack, and another 60 LP to turn it in. Keep this in mind if you plan to do multiple runs. You also need a Quality Certificate for each pack, purchased from the General Merchant. The list below shows the different items you can craft, along with what is needed for each pack.

Once you have your pack ready to go, you need to decide where you want to take it and how you want to get there. You can travel anywhere in your own continent by land-either by walking, riding a donkey, using a farm wagon, or public transportation such as carriages and airships. Sometimes it is quicker to travel by ship. Going from Solzreed to Marianople for instance you can travel west along the coast and enter the Summer Leaf River which takes you to the dock to turn in. All the turn-in locations are listed below. Freedich Island is located in the Sunspeck Sea, which is in the Arcadian Sea.



Nuia locations

Solzreed Pennisula – Crescent Throne docks
Gweonid Forest – North of Memoria, under the Airship tower
Marianople – Docks outside of the city, on the river
Two Crowns – Ezna docks
Cinderstone Moor – Seachild Wharf
Sanddeep – Golden Fable Harbor

Harayna locations

Solis Headlands – Austera docks
Mahadevi – Eastern entrance of City of Towers (Gold Trader only)
Villanelle – Lutesong Harbor
Falcorth Plains – Oxion Clan (Gold Trader only)
Arcum Iris – Widesleeves (Gold Trader only)
Ynystere – Caernord docks

Good info.. I just need a farm to do stuff with.. questing is sort of getting burned out at the moment LOL. I need Bait Worms for fishing

Still the best way to get the Gilda to get a Clan Galleon. Store suppliers for the trade packs at a Clan level. Gain those mats either via donations, directed growing or acquisition via gold. Than when the time is right on a late night Saturday run, we stack as many packs as we can defend and make a run to stack turn in on Donk and get the 250 Gilda stars for the Galleon.

How to check the % of the pack (130% is max) : Folio (O), trade info, select pack origin, select trader. You see the packs and their percentage.

Sometime it is useful to stash some packs in a house while waiting for the percentage to go up. Or a sell at Gwenoid for 100% of 10g is less than a sell in solzreed for 125% of 9g.

I am going to be leaching housing this time around, so all my Gilda can go to this. I have about 25 so far.
Posted By: Dustrider Re: Trading and you. - 10/02/14 07:58 PM
which is the best for noobs? I did the trade quest last night.. i'm on the donkey quest now but is it a way to put which packs to which location is the best for money or just do like above and keep an eye on it?

Check this : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...?sle=true#gid=0

So for gold, if everything is at war:
- Gwenoid Forest <=> two crowns. It is useful to have a ship to do Dewstone faster. Do it in one way or the other depending on your available mats.

- If only Halcyona is at peace, I like to do Halcyona to Solzreed. You can also do Halcyona to Gwenoid.

- If Halcyona and sanddeep or hellswamp are at peace at the same time: go from sanddeep or hellswamp to solzreed or gwenoid. If sanddeep and Halcyona are at peace, you can also do Gwen to Sanddeep (I hear it is really good gold).

- If cinderstone is at peace but not Halcyona + sanddeep or Halcyona + hellswamp, do gwenoid <=> cinderstone.

Yep have that same link Arkh and good if you have the mats. Time to start farming more as I"m outta gold! lol

The best would be make it as a team: the ones with farm plant and harvest, give the mats to those without farms who craft the pack and do the trade runs. Then they split profits.

Give me a list of your packs you want and i'll try and build the mats for you and will let you know and we can split the profits :)

Between Hellswamp and Halcyona going to Solz and Gewonid I've done 5 of these thus far and have planed additional mats so I can run them as I can.

Not bad but single on a Donkey is slow so need carrots and next purchase is a farm cart I think :)
Posted By: Vuldan Re: Trading and you. - 10/05/14 01:41 PM
Archs idea is a grand one and I would be glad to work with some folks that way.

Icki, the farm cart is slower than a donkey with carrots unless you have the fuel; that of course doubles the carts speed but be aware of road blockers, and you can't go in the water in the cart. Obviously the ability to transport 3 packs, and even have riders if you don't knock them off like I did, is great.

The Medicinal Packs, run from Sandeep to Gweonid, nets 10.6 gold. While Sandeep and Halcyona are at peace, one person can make and run 8 packs from Sandeep to the KGB house in Mariople. Then, once the regions go back to tension, just go run the packs as it's all safe zone from Marianople to Gweonid. 8 Packs = 80+ gold in 22 hours.

My usual one is Halcyona => Solzeed.
- 50 ground grain + 35 eggs = 6.5 to 7 gold.
- 50 dried flowers + 90 yams = 7 to 7.5 gold.
Remove 0.5g for the quality certificate and 3 fuel if you want to do more in the same time period.

I also like the Hellswamp => Solzreed when I can.
- 50 trimmed meat + 12 banana = 9 to 9.5 gold (I'd have to check exact result)
- 100 mushrooms + 15 orchard puree = 10 gold.
For this one, it is 4 fuels to do the whole run fast.

But I can do any other run if you have excess mats of other packs.

can you have a boat and a cart active at the same time?
Posted By: Arkh Re: Trading and you. - 10/07/14 05:09 PM
Yes. I see what you want to do and I would be doing it if I could make a west side alt: craft items one by one in sanddeep while an alt is waiting in your cart in Halcyona, load up the cart then do Halcyona => Marianople fast. Rince-repeat.
