Merchant Archive

I have a small droid shop near Mos Eisley. Once I hit Master, I'm thinking about focusing on the combat aspects of my character and moving to a non-starter planet.

Since I'll have more advanced droids, my clientele will be more advanced characters. I'm thinking about picking up my entire operation and relocating.

The other option is I just keep my current location, and just stock my vendor / maintain harvesters every few days.

Does anyone have experience with having a shop on a non-starter world? Which worlds do you operate on? Does anyone have multiple shops?

If the vendor maintenance fees go live then this might not be feasible since sales would naturally drop.

My primary shop is out in Wayfar which, while on a starter world, is very distant (since there's no shuttle port stop) but has a theme park attraction (Jabba's Palace), so these things together make for a good economy out there (ie, low supply of goods but high demand for them.)

The only non-starter planet you can build a shop on is Dantooine, where I've got my second shop (and on my server, there are no Ad III merchants on the whole planet.) Still getting the word out about that location, but prices are even more resiliant than Wayfar ... give me another week of traffic building andI suspect 70% of my income will come from 30% of my inventory on that non-starter planet.
