Description

the Commerce tab of the character window, showcasing merchant rating and a seasonal commerce summary.

Merchant Rating corresponds to the player's reputation as a merchant in the individual towns around Erinn where Trade Posts are set up.

A higher merchant rating will allow more types of goods to be bought from trade posts.

The Beach of Scathach, Karu Forest, Connous Oasis, Calida and Pera Volcano Trading Posts do not have any Merchant Rating. See Bartering for more information.

Details

• Each type of trade good has a Merchant Rating measured from 1 to 9.
• An item's credit rating describes its general value and dictates who can purchase it.
• Beginning traders will have a credit limit of one and may only buy goods with a credit rating of 1.
• Successfully trading goods will earn you Merchant Rating experience that will raise your credit limit and allow you to purchase more valuable goods.
• As your Merchant Rating increases, you will receive a discount on purchased goods at the respective town of up to 3%.
• The amount of Merchant Rating experience received is equal to the total profit from all sold goods.
  • For example, selling 20 Spider Gloves for a 2 Ducat profit each and 20 Wool Boots for a 3 Ducat profit each will earn a total of 100 Merchant Rating experience.
  • If you sell items for a loss you will receive 0 Merchant Rating experience.
• The Rating can be checked in the Commerce Tab of the Character Menu.
• Merchant Rating can decrease if you trade with the Uladh Smuggler or use the non-VIP variant of the Stowaway Ticket with the Iria Smugglers.
