Thread: I am a Holo Merchant Please help me....
So I got novice merchant, I placed 2 small houses with access fees. I placed 2 vendors in my player city cantina so people are always using them with ease. I dont seem to be getting this XP over time thing and the xp is going very slow. I know this will take time and all but at this rate it will be months before i get the 400k xp requird to master. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Make sure you go up the management skill tree first. The more Vendors out the quicker the XP comes. You'll need to make sure your vendors are at 100% integrity. Sometimes I don't get XP from a vendor if it wasn't at 100% maintenence. So make sure they've got plenty of money, and make sure you have people around your vendor at all times.
Other than that I can't think of any fixable problems (other than bugs....)
Good luck holocron hunting (though it saddens me to hear that you're pobably going to drop Master Merchant, as soon as you reach it)
i have all my holocrons already now its just the grind....sorry im really a combatant so merchant just isnt the life for me.
and yes i am going up management first and my vendors all have 20k maitenenence in them.
and they are in my cantina where someone is always afk dancing and playing music 24-7
seems my xp over time kicked in a little today. with ppl running in and out of my houses and using my vendors i got about 11k today
thats still about 30 days or so till master.....ugh

man I feel your pain. I just got merchant in a holo. I had to drop master pistoleer for this crap.
I know you guys are just trying to get through what you have to get through but surely you can appreciate that coming into the merchant forum where most of us are playing a profession we want to play and calling it "crap" is insulting.. and does'nt foster an atmosphere where anyone would want to help you.

i belive it's just the frustration that they are feeling that they can't DO anything that gives them exp. it's what other people do. very very difficult to deal with that. there should be something that a merchant can do that gives them exp. something. anything. something repeatable, and not every 15 minutes repeatable. something quick repeatable. even if it's small.
Hard to imagine what that would be and still be related to being a merchant. And the ONLY reason to have soemthing like that would be to grind merchant quickly which isn't a valid game goal anyway. I feel for you guys doing this I really do, but I won't support some artifical method for getting merchant xp just for the sake of allowing you to quickly become some other profession (Jedi) I'm afraid part of the challenge is patience to do the things you have to do to become a jedi.
