I just received a holocron listing Master Merchant. Being a smuggler, pistoleer, ranger and creature handler, I don't have much to sell. I plan on dropping ranger and creature handler. Can I get some ideas on how to advance through Merchant? Ideas for good things to sell within my specialities or easy to pick up, etc.? A link to a merchant guide could be helpful too. I would appreciate any help offered.

Thanks,

Dakmor Wanderor

buy several small naboo houses (the round ones) place them next to each other and set an entry fee of 1 credit. then have people come to the houses. If you have a lot of friends or are in a PA or player city this should be an easy task.

Actually, go to the merchant profession forum. There's an excellent FAQ with everything you'll need to know and more

Good luck!

I noticed that Master Merchant get +10 on hiring. What does that actually do? At IV on the hiring tree, the only thing that interested me was the fact of allow them to use uniforms and weapons.

What is added to that last +10 on the hiring?

It allows you to have the C3PO model droid as a vendor. That's really all that I've seen.

Now that sucks. I was hoping to have more @ Master Merchant. Afterall, it is a master level. Give me the ability to move my vendor around w/o lost of items @ Master level!!

lol sorry to let you down but there is no fast way at all

but i sympathise with ya merchant is a great profession if ya gonna utilize it but its a hologrinders nightmare i should know i got it too

this is how im lvling merchant its been 6 days and im 2-0-0-4

this is the only xp you get (as far as im aware if a pro merchant can tell me different id be greatful)

access fee on house for 15 mins = 50 xp everytime someone enters ofc they cant do it again for another 15 mins but bare with me

ppl browsing your vendors = same 15 mins timer 50xp as long as they browse if they just access it, it wont work so click on all when you open vendor

you get 150 xp per vendor per hour

this is how i am doing it and its pretty good xp

i got 5 houses 1 is in my town and another 4 outside (im considering moving or giving my house to another char so i build a 5th close to the other 4)

these 4 houses are close together they all have access fees i do the rounds on these houses every 15 mins thats 800-1000 xp depending on if you have 4-5 houses

the first line you MUST lvl is management this gives you 6 vendors by the time you hit management 4 thats 6 vendors at 150 xp per hour giving you 900 times that by 24 and we get the nice souding figure of 21600 xp every 24 hours

add to the fact you place those 6 vendors in your houses your getting 550xp every 15 mins a total of 2200 xp an hour which is quite a bit add the 900 from ya vendors thats 3100

considering you only need 405000 merchant xp for master these are quite nice figures

so what ya should do:

make sure you have all your lots free and build 5 houses as close together as possible this is the max you can have put an access fee on them all 1c and a 15 min timer this is the minimum

as you work up the management line place your vendors in the same house so they are close together and you maximise your time browsing them

every 15 mins get your borrowed char to run into these houses pay the access fee and browse your vendors this style of lvling will only work if you have 2 accts or a really good friend who will do this for you a few hours a day

im lucky i have access to a char which is a doctor and can make stims so i keep my 6th vendor in a mall where it does me quite nice i get a steady stream of xp from it

if you can do the same its a good idea even if you just get someone in your guild to let you sell there items resources whatever, its always gonna be best to use the vendors for there intended purpose to sell items if you can provide a steady supply of resources etc you will get alot of xp

anyway thats how im doing it if anyone has a better suggestion would love to hear it

I just gotta question:

If this is your first holo and you just got it, why are you doing it when they're gonna take the holo-grind out soon? Unless you master a profession every 2 days, I'm sure you won't have time to make Jedi. Just save yourself time and frustration and sell those holos to those who are almost there.
