Need help with merchanting when your lvl 20-30?? This guide will hopefully help you from my past experiences.
How to merchant? Once you have reached level 20, you can start merchanting. Merchanting is basically delivering goods to another place and getting a reward after your job is complete. It isn’t as easy as you think because there are many things to it that you might not know about!
So where to start? First of all go to the Specialty shop in either Jangan or Dowhang. Buy a merchant flag and equip it straight away into your character. It will appear in the bottom right corner.
Now you need to purchase either a horse or a camel from the Stable in the Trans section.
Camel- A camel does move 1 m slower than a horse but that makes a big difference. For eg is when a thief is following you in a huge pack and there NPC thief kills your camel. You wouldn’t have enough speed to make it and your camel will probably die. (I will explain more clear later) That may be the downside but the plus side is that it can fit 16,000 gold of supplies until it reaches 2 star (Will explain later on), while a horse can only fit around 13,000. It also has almost double the HP of a Horse.
Horse- This horse moves slightly faster and is good escaping tight situations. It’s especially handy if you get of your horse and kill everything around you (level 26+ is recommended) (Click dismount to get off your horse, it won’t disappear like a real horse), while moving and never get back on your horse. The downside is that you can only fit 13K of supplies and if you succeed you won’t get as much.
Now once you have chosen your Trans get some Horse Potions. Get about 50 small potions for your camel and about 75-100 potions for your horse due to the lack of HP. It is also handy if you get the Potion which recovers abnormal status. It is handy when your Trans is frozen or burnt by anything.
After you have gotten the potions it’s time for you to get the supplies. You must be on your transport and travel to the specialty shop, noticing that your Trans are super slow; P. Go buy some supplies until it reaches 1 star or 2 star etc.
The amount of supplies you put on your transport deter minds the star.
1 Star – For a horse the max is around about 14K. If it is 1 star there will be less NPC thieves to kill and REAL thieves won’t be able to attack you.
2 Star – There are now 2 thieves on you and also REAL thieves will attack you. Try doing 2 stars when you’re a high level to prevent your Trans to be dying because once the higher level, the trans will have much more HP.
3 star + – Basically the same only a lot more amount of thieves to kill.
Now that you have gotten your supplies, it’s time to head to the destination. From Jangan you go to dowhang and from Dowhang you go to Jangan. It won’t be as easy as you think though. As I have said before you will have thieves following you. They are NPC thieves and they are YOUR LVL and sometimes lower. Also if you are doing 2 star REAL thieves will follow you. But other than that there are other things to concern as well.
Avoid other merchanters because there NPC thieves can attack your transport if you are too close. Avoid large packs of thieves even if you are doing 1 star because if there on a horse there NPC thieves can kill your Trans, in 1 shot if the thief is a high level. Carry extra potions if you want. The feel of success feels much better than failing! You should be putting the horse potions in your quick slot. BUY SOME HP AND MP POTS! What is bad is you dying. Once you die your Trans is in danger and you won’t be able to use potions on it or anything. Carry at least 2 Trans. Once your Trans has died you will be able to summon another one and pick up the things it dropped (supplies) (Super handy). Know every monster level and the path your taking. Here are some aggressive monsters which will/might attack you when in sight. Let a hunter help you. It is there job to protect you from thieves and kill teh NPC thieves for you.
Now once you have travel all the way to your destination, talk to the specialty shop and sell teh supplies. Sell them in Jangan if you bought the supplies in dowhang. You will possibly make about 60K+: P
This is one of many paths to choose which will have a higher success rate. From Donwhang, you are wanting to travel to Jangan, exit through South gate. Go into the Earth Ghost canyon and don’t get off your horse/camel. Keep using your pots until you reach west ferry. From there go the long way by taking the curve and going down the road below the word tiger mountain. You can get off your Trans now if needed. Then take the cross the bridge 3rd from the top and don’t enter though south. Go up to West Gate and there!
