Complete Trading: max loads and best items, routes

[rhtmaehcl90]

In this guide I will not only explain the basic info to trade but also the max loads per lvl of character and which is the best distribution of that total value in items. As well I put the routes depending on the lvl of your character. Hope it´s useful for u guys!:


1) Before starting we need:

- A trader flag that u can buy to the
- A transport*: a camel or horse (bring a spare transport always)
- Healing pots (for you and your transport) The healing potions can be bought at the stable master where you also buy the Trader-Transport, they look like chests

Its very advisable to have at least 50 of these with you when you are doing "trade-runs"... And always have your transport in view, so you can see if it is under attack.
Also note that you are unable to move when you attempt to move further as 100m from your transport.

*: I strongly recommend using camels because they have a larger inventory, die slowly and, yeah, walk sloooowly too. But hey it´s better to arrive in X minutes than not arriving, no'.


2) Buy the stuff to trade:

In the Specialities shop think of what and how much to purchase. The only thing you need to know is that:

THE MOST I CAN WITH THE X STARS I CAN DEAL WITH

- The most I can with X stars:

To find out this for the first time fill up your inventory with the most expensive goods, in packs of 10, until the star indicator changes. Then I sell back one-at-a time, until it changes back (remembering the total value before it changes). At this point buy the 2nd most expensive goods until it changes the stars, when it does i do same as previous (sell back¡*) then 3rd most expensive in same way and finaly the cheapest.

This is a lot of work, buying and resale so¡*let´s make things easier:

Here is the list of Base Item cost and Trader-Job EXP values of the goods (Trader-Job EXP is based on max resale price, so it will be less if resale prices are suppressed eg not max.(387%) that will give you less profit and less exp.There is no way of knowing the resale prices before you bring the goods to the merchant buying them)

Trade-item:

I. 134 Gold, 128 Exp : white silk, leather, nephrite
II. 205 Gold, 196 Exp : red silk, footstall, agate (71 more expensive than I)
III. 277 Gold, 265 Exp: blue celadon, saddle, crystal (148 more than I, 72 more than II)
IV. 348 Gold, 334 Exp: wolju celadon, horse shoe, jade ( 214 more than I, 148 more than II, 71 more than III)

The maximum base amount of trades increases as you level up, but it increases less each level. Each "trade difficulty level" increases the max load by 50% relative to the "1 Star" difficulty level.

2 stars is 150% of one star
3 stars is 200% of one star
4 stars is 250% of one star
5 stars is 300% of one star (not sure if this is possible)

- One star for camels:

• If you are lvl 23 you maximice load with a total value of 17811 (50*IV, 1*III, 1*I) using 50 items, 1 of III and 1 of I.
• L25: 18997 (54*IV, 1*II)
• L26: 19693 (56*IV, 1*II)
• L27: 20184 (58*IV)
• L28: 20880 (60*IV), 20902 (100*II, 3*I)
• L29: 21362 (60*IV, 1*III, 1*II)
• L30: 22050 (60*IV, 3*III, 1*II, 1*I) , 22058 (63*IV, 1*I)
• L31: 22549 (64*IV, 1*III), 22550 (110*II), 22560 (150*I, 12*II), 22562 (80*III, 3*II)
• L32: 23165 (113*II) , 23245 (66*IV, 1*I), 23268 (84*III)
• L33: 23718 (177*I), 23750 (85*III, 1*II), 23780 (116*II), 23798 (68*IV, 1*I)

- Max load for horse (I don´t use horses so I can´t tell u which are the best items to buy for that total value).
lvl 20 12000
25 = 14250
30 = 16500
40 = 21000
50 = 25500
60 = 30000

(These numbers are approximations for ease, full table in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ])


3) And the most important part: Go for a loooong walk XD:
Once you have your inventory as full as possible, it's time to run! Here I post a map with the best routes (It´s a opinion of course) depending on your lvl and the enemies that u will find on the way: (see the map to understand what i´m saying, otherwise I seem to be a crazy gps XD XD)

1. Longest but easiest route: level 20-22
Jangan in straight line to hohyeosl mountain then take the way to the eastern ferry and from then by the north way, pass the hyungno homeland and arrive at Donwhang by the east door.

2. Medium time and difficulty route: level 22-30
Same way than before until you are in hohyeosl mountain, then go straight to western ferry and from there take north way but leave it going as near as you can from the mountains of the west and one you passed them go to the path that goes to the west and finish entering donwhang by the south door.

3. Shortest but difficult purple Route: level 30-the rest.
Same way than medium difficult but in western ferry we should take the east path, go through the mountains by the shortes way to the city and entering it by the south door.

Let´s see which monster will be travelling with us:
Note: Champions and giants are aggressive (if you're an ice user, frostbite them and run away) but they are much more likely to attack you than your transport, anyway if u can´t run away fight and kill them quick. Anyway if u stay near of the paths it´s more easy to avoid them.


1. From Jangan to ferry (u have to decide which route u will follow to go to east or west ferry):

- Yeohas: Aggressive but weak. We can ignore them but if they're particularly annoying just kill them
- Young Tigers: They don´t attack u so just do the same, peace XD.
- Tigers: Aggressive(optional to kill)
- Black & white Tigers : Aggressive, kill them.
- Bandits - Not usually an issue, but if they do attack, finish them quick.
- Chakji Worker - Friendly.

2. From ferry to Donwhang:

- Chakji: Aggressive and densely populated, try to avoid them.
- Ghost Bugs: Friendly
- Devil Bugs: Can usually avoid them, or outrun them, but at level 20 you should be able to handle them alone when needed.
- Hyungno Ghosts: Friendly
- Hyungno Ghost Soldiers: (be careful this two looks almost the same) Not friendly. You can usually avoid them or outrun them, but there are a few ¡°doors¡± on the path you have to pass through¡*they love to trap traders there. Best thing to do is go around the doors to the north (these mobs can be fought as long as they don't group up on you)
- Gun Powder Ghosts: Harmless, ignore them.
- Earth Ghosts: Highly aggressive, speedy and strong. At level 20, they should be deep red. Just run, don't stop to fight.

Note: If u go through the medium route u will meet a lot of bugs and earth ghost. In the difficult one u will have to deal with the earth and magician taoist as well as gun an earth ghost in closed paths, u go forward os backwards, that´s all. So don´t choose this one until u are sure u can deal with them or u have hunters help.


And I guess that´s all. Enjoy trading :D
