Whats the selling rate for trading goods for each location? Like 313% for Constantinople to Samarkand etc.

Also, whats the fastest and most profiting trade route for a lvl 30+, for repeated trade runs?
1. Jagan to Bandit's den,
2. Jagan to Donwhang,
3. Bandit's den to Donwhang, or
4. Constantinople to Samarkand?

1. 163%
2. 203%
3. 163%
4. 203%

see a pattern? rofl

lol where is bandits den???

Umm between jangan on dw on jangans side.

lol you earn alot more for Constan-Samark than Jangan-DW

Not after the update. jangan to dw is 203% just like constan to sama.

Uh.. isn't bandit den like a halfway point?! If they're giving so much profit thats insane... no wonder the server tells you.

Really have to go do those quests now. I never knew >.<

the bandit den is closer to jangan then dw and yeilds same %.

Though its posted saying traders come get goods. its also posting to the entire server, yo thieves the traders are running to the tradespots right now. So it has is downsides...

So constantinople->samarakand earn more right? But between this and jangan-dw, which would be better overall if I want to spend 5-6 hours trading?

I trade till I get caught then I stop, because then they are looking for me.

As for overall profits its like farming it is determined by a series of factors not just the %.

A successful trade needs:

Shortest amount of time. They longer you are trading the higher the chances of getting caught by thieves.

A good helper. Someone who can kill your thieves fast, can be a trader(with no loot) or a hunter, so you can just ride. They have phantom, your transport does not.

(optional) having any type of voice chat will save time typeing so you can pay attention to your route and the transports health.

(optional) having a non-suited cleric running with the party to res, and give your hunter/trader freind buffs to keep you guys alive durning the actuall thief run-in.


I would also suggest following a thief run (when you are non-suited), you can see how they move, which ferries they pick and their favorite routes they run thru looking for traders.

well, a trader can in lvl 30 earn 180k from samark to constan... it's not fair if DW-JG = 180k also, because the route from samark to constan is difficult with higher leveled mobs..

The percents wont change, its the other factors that do.

For me I average

jangan->bandit den

3 Star- 375k load
163% in average 15 mins
turn in valve of 611,250

lets say I do it for an hour

60 divided by 15 is 4

So 4*611,250= 2,445,000

-----

Jangan-. DW

3 Star- 375k load
203% in average 25 mins
turn in value of 761,250

lets say I do it for an hour

60 divided by 25 is 2

So 2*761,250= 1,522,500

---
differences in this one hour of trades would be a profit loss of 922,500.


Beleive it or not, but that is cold hard numbers there.

So..for 1 star trade for 5-6 hours, Jangan>DW + Jangan>Bandit's Den would be the best right?

And Bandit's Den only appears when there is announcement? Or is the npc at some fixed spot always?

yes the special goods only appear at the annoucnment made server wide. Now with these goods even on a one star you can be attack if you are under lvl 40. In addition, two stars on regular goods spawns 4 thieves, a two star of specail goods will spawn 6 thieves(every spawn) and at a faster spawn rate.

huh where to sell it in bandits den? i thought they didnt have special goods

He is located north of the central building. You must complete a quest to be able to trade to him. He only sells goods durning an alloted time, and he only has a certain number of goods, and once all that is sold he is closed again.
