Merchant Archive

Started Merchant as soon as I started my first crafting profession.

Finished all crafting professions hologrinding.

Still short 2 boxes on merchant, ERRRRR.

This is by far the slowest profession ever, and its not like its rewarding at all, lol. OH LOOK I GOT A NEW SIGN, lol.

Sorry, just letting out my rage, no offense to those that love merchant, lol.

How long have you been working on Merchant? I figure it takes a little less than a month to master theprofession if you initially work to get 6 vendors up, and then the basic experience flows in at 900 exp/hr.

Of course, it will go faster if you run a business or get some friends to run a "Merchant house" gauntlet. I was considering the gauntlet idea (get 8-10 small naboo style 2 homes, put a 1 cr. access fee on them, and beg/pay people to run through them every 15 minutes when they can). When I figured it would take less than a month to do it normally, I just decided to let things happen as they may. I set up a vendor and sold a bunch of resources and loot, so things are moving along faster than expected.

If you have a month to spare, the profession takes care of itself...As a bonus Iam having a lot of fun with it. It is rewarding to log in after being off for a couple days, see you're ready for a new skill (or two) andthatyou mademoney while you sleep. If you need to finish in less than a month, there are hardcore ways to grind it, but you need to have a lot of money (to pay newer people) or some really nice friends to help you out.

Do you actually sell anything, or do you just have an empty vendor sitting in your house while you grind professions?

Surprisingly enough, it's hard to become a better merchant if you don't sell stuff.

Half...I mastered Merchant in 3 weeks after I mastered DE. Train up to get maximum vendors, build a house on a busy planet or hook up in a well traveled mall; drop all vendors and register one or two. Once you've done that...STOCK THEM. People will not return to an empty vendor.

One reason I've slacked on my DE character is because the game became work lol Too much of my time spent making fake money heh I'll return to it sometime, though.
