Trading

Merchants in Allraan travel across political borders to do business, and the player can also acquire trading goods at various trading posts in towns and villages. The price of each trading good will change depending on the time and place. Buying low and selling high can help make their adventure go much more smoothly!

Once the player acquires the Headquarters and finds a hero with a knack for trading, they can open a trading post in their own town.

Assuming the player is willing to check the trading markets when they refresh every 30 minutes or so, players can easily break the economy through trades that are entirely safe and offer returns of 150+% even at base values. Certain goods are only available after a certain amount of trading has been done.

Below are the base rates(with a tiny margin for error, not enough to affect trades) for buying and selling in each town with a trading post.

Easiest way is to use the selling table to find the highest base price available to sell then compare with the pricing of buying each item. If the difference is over 20% of the selling price then you will almost always earn on trades. If the price is particularly low, just hold for the next cycle.
