Place a vendor in a shop (your shop) and it trickles in slowly.

You first need to get a House. then you need Business III skill in the Artisan Profession. Then in your house you can create a vendor and place it down in your House.


Right now Merchants are BROKEN howerver. As we are only getting 5 exp per HOUR for having our Vendors up. It will take 45 Days to get to Novice Merchant.

My vendor has 40 days of maintenence on him, which should be just about how long it takes to make Novice.

Artuk, yes of course. I was in beta and i was an advanced Merchant with 4 vendors and several shops. Something *BIG* broke between beta and release. we are getting 100x less exp then beta, and beta was slow as hell.

Since this topic seems to be a n00b topic, let me ask another n00b question. Is it just me, or can't you see your own items on the Bazaar. I tried to put a premium item there so someone else could check if they were there without having to check every item, but as you might have guessed that wasn't a success.

Isn't actually having people buy things from the vendor supposed to increase your XP?....

The description of Merchant XP in the Skills page is: This experience is gained by having a vendor and having people use that vendor.


Based on that I would assume that usage xp should be present. *shrug*


If the items listing in the bazaar was removed on purpose I never saw any announcement or justification for it. It was working until the last few weeks of beta. As it stands right now it looks like you are suposed to create this vendor and let it sit there paying maintenance on it and collecting dust until you acrue enough points to actually tell someone where it is.

To bad advertising is borked and does not work as far as I know.
