Merchant Archive

Just got it a few hours ago. Wow, I have to say it is the least satisfying experience I have ever had. No big deal because the only difference I see from novice merchant to master merchant is that at this point you can have more vendors. And currently what is the benefit of having more vendors?

I hope there are some real fixes and changes to this profession soon because I am currently doing at master merchant what I could do with just business 3. Sure you get a few features that don't work half the time when you get into the master tree butmost of these things wouldn't be worth a **edit** if they worked 100% of the time.

I am seriously saying that by using all the features of ad barking, planetary map listing, more vendors, and the effiency perks that master merchant is really no better than just having business 3. I have been putting off this bashing until I actually made master so I would have a true vision of what this class is all about.

I have lots of dreams for this profession and I hope it gets a lot better real soon. To all the others who are wanting to be masters; I would like to say that you already are masters.

Before you dump all your Merchant skills.. could you tell me if Efficiency IV - Structures is worth it? Does it reduce maint cost on structures such as harvestors?

If it does, I can see that being beneficial.

gratz Viblo, master merchant lets youhave a protocol droid peddler... isnt that worth the 400+k of merchant xp over bus3 ?

Astalon, eff4 gives 20% discount to all struct maint (houses, factories, and harvs)... this is pretty much theonly ability i would hate to lose in my merchant skill tree. everything else is basically fluff to bus3.
