how long does it usually take to do a 1* trade (with a horse, and jangan 2 DW)?
2nd question is; wat is the max u can make off a 1* trade?

thanks in advance

Depends on your route, and depends on your level, because your char level determines maximum amount of goods on a 1*, so as a lvl20 on a horse, you can make 45-60k at a time, and the time depends on your route

do u recommend doing a 1* trade at a lvl under 30, especially if u need the money?

At 24+ if you need the money it helps, find a route where you will find minimum poppers, I took this route :

From Jang, I go through the top path (Yeoha) and then move off the trail, and move to the west/east ferry (<-- your choice) then I go past hyungno ghosts to DW

Grinding will make you more money than a trade run, and will help you level, which is the whole point of this game.

Trading is great for levels 20-40ish.
Then grinding becomes a better source for money.

45-60k is the profit, meaning u buy about 15-20k worth of goods. trade runs is good to do something else other than grinding. and its good to do them with friends (preferrably those with about +/1 3 lvls so as u'll not have a hard time with his npc thieves). grinding is still the best source of money because u'll generally get enough drops during the time to do the trade (lvl 20-30). but as u go higher, drops alot is more than 1* runs, so its best to do multi-star with guild/union.

20 min
20k~80k i think at lvl 80

if u take backroads to avoid getting popped...it can take a long time
main roads= faster but much risker
