Merchant Archive

Four boxes away from master, here in Tyrena!

I am a merchant (hybrid?) who is currently making a not-so-bad living off of making and selling food. I have found that my major problems with the perfession is not the bugs and nerfs, but rather that all my income has been spent in training. I do think that we are a rare species, but hopefully we will be the ones to reap the rewards when some patches come out and make us masters of the universe!! *cross fingers*

I guess it depends what you mean by Career Merchant. I will be mastering Merchant for sure, is that what you mean?

I'm serious about Merchant, as well as Armorsmith and I am further along with Merchant, but am seriously hampered by.....

Anyone with Business III having a vendor,

Needing a minimum of a small house to place a vendor which means a Master Merchant can never "own" all of his stores as 6 vendors in 6 small houses spread across the galaxy requires 12 lots (not to mention I can never have anything larger than a small house in that event.....some Merchant Prince I'll be),

The (soon to be) outrageous costs for vendor maintenance (suggestion...charge us a percentage of the sale at the time of sale),

No experience incentive for being a successful Merchant, just the same old experience over time which is unique to our profession,

And my pet peeve of trying to sell structures, armor, and weapons, but only being able to register my vendor on the planetary map under one of those types.

And before I'm flamed for it, no, I don't think I should have to rely on others to set up my vendors. I rely on others to supply the goods I'm going to sell and I think that is forced interaction enough, thank you....
