Guild Trade

Play­ers above level 40 can apply to become a trader for their Guild, and so gain access to the trade quest. Travel Trad­ing can not only increase a Guild’s funds, but can also provide a player with per­sonal profit in the form of gold, exper­i­ence, and Guild con­tri­bu­tion points. For even greater profits, play­ers should con­sider Travel Trad­ing on Sat­urday, when all profits are sig­ni­fic­antly increased.

Get­ting Started

To start on the Travel Trad­ing quest, play­ers elec­ted as ‘Traders’ for their Guild must first find and speak to Fin­ance Officer Chien [147, 55] in their Guild city. He can be found by loc­at­ing ‘Fin­ance’ on the scene map. Fin­ance Officer Chien will give a player the option to ‘Get banknote’.

If Chien hasn’t exceeded the max­imum daily Guild bank­note allow­ance (dic­tated by the Guild level) you will be issued with bank­notes to take on your quest.

As soon as you are issued with bank­notes you will enter ‘Trans­port­ing Mode’. From here on, you may not use your mount, you may not peddle, and you may not use any tele­port func­tion to help you on your way.

Your next task is to speak with Chien again to spend your bank­notes on items to sell to your Guild’s trade part­ners. Select ‘Mer­chant Shop’ to see the goods avail­able for pur­chase. The amount you can spend is dic­tated by the amount of bank­notes you were given, and this is dir­ectly related to your level.

You will notice that item prices fluc­tu­ate reg­u­larly. Remem­ber, a good trader will always buy products when they are at their cheapest, and then sell them again at their highest!

You may now travel to your Guild’s trade part­ners to sell your goods and (hope­fully) accrue some profit. By trav­el­ling between traders your goal is increase the value of your bank­notes and so make the Guild a profit.

You may accept the Travel Trad­ing quest up to 8 times a day maximum.

Hint: Travel Trad­ing is an effi­cient way of earn­ing money. You can buy goods at a low price and sell them at a high price to make money. The profit a player can make is affected by level, exper­i­ence, skills, time and the type of goods being traded.

Spe­cial Situ­ations while Travel Trading

• Bank­notes can­not be dis­carded or traded.
• If the trader dies in a PvP battle dur­ing a trade quest, the bank­note will dis­ap­pear and the quest will fail.
• If the trader dies of PK in Travel Trad­ing status, the status will be removed.
• If the bank­note a dead player held was in appre­ci­ation status, it will gen­er­ate a fallen ‘over­due’ bank­note and all the goods and the bank­note of the trader will dis­ap­pear. At the same time, there will be a notice on the guild chan­nel, which shows the troublemaker’s guild name. All play­ers can get the over­due bank­note from the exact loc­a­tion where the trader died. You may exchange the over­due bank­note with Officer Chien for items.

Salary

By con­trib­ut­ing to the growth and devel­op­ment of your Guild, you may claim a salary from Fin­ance Officer Chien [147, 55] at the cost of Guild con­tri­bu­tion points. Play­ers over level 40 may claim a salary as long as they com­plete Travel Trad­ing more than twice in a week, and as long as they have been a mem­ber of the Guild for at least a week.
