Merchant Archive

It will take you at least 2 weeks to "speed level" using the house entry fee with a LOT of people helping you do so. It normally takes about 22 days to complete it. The only ways to get XP are as follows which comes from the Merchant Guide which is stickied on this forum..

Merchant XP (Sometimes comes in lumps):

• 150 XP per hour per vendor [Received in lumps whne vender Exists*] (Can place first at Bus 3)
  
• 50 XP per view of vendors by person [Must click refresh or a category. Veiwing multiple vendors does not increase] (Can get every 10 minutes)
  
• 50 XP per visitor per house for Entry Fee [Can be on multiple houses that you own] (Can place at house terminal at Bus 1)
  
• NO XP for purchases/bazaar ... none ... zip ... nada
  
• Suggestion: Go up management first to get per vendor xp. Then Adv 3 for planetary map.
  
• *Just like harvesters, vendors only exist when a player can see it. When there are no players arround the vendor drops from the servers memory. When another player comes into the house the vendor will load again, experience over time will be updated, and the vendor will "exist" till it unloads again.

I disagree with Korrack on going up the Advertising line after the management line.

After getting the management line to 4 go up the efficiency line to 4. Once at 4 you can place merchant tents....I have 10 tents placed (I took down my house) with entry fees. One person can give you a quick 500 xp by just visiting your tents. If you get a couple of dedicated friends, each can give you 2k xp per hour, in addition to the 150 per hour per vendor (with 6 vendors that's 900 per hour).

I had to look back to see when i posted my 'tips for grinding merchant'. I've been a merchant a week now (bus 3 on the 13th, today is the 19th, I'm 4004 atm, 2k odd to Eff 1. As I read above it looks like I will get thru as fast as you can push it. Now I could be thinking fuzzy and blow the math here, but I expect the 2nd half of merchant will go faster than the first. Can being a real merchant be the fastest way thru?

I sell Med resources and Adv Med Comps. Business is booming in the shop, selling stuff as fast as my 2 factories can spit it out. I get 20-30 cr/unit for completed units. I have also made a ton of credits and upgraded the harvesting stock. Sadly as soon as I master merchant, I'll hit CM in a few hours (medic and doc togeather only took 12 hours) and than I might have to drop off the map. I'm not sure how that will impact business. It depends on the next holo. I will likely hit Architect too, if only to craft a bunch of stuff for myself.

I'm not a holo merchant, I did this to make the credits to grind my holo prof, Armorsmith. I want credits.
