Merchant Miles

Every morning brings brand new opportunities. Check the latest prices, read the news, and review available contracts, laws, and decrees before deciding what goods to buy. But remember, a clever merchant knows there’s more to a good deal than meets the eye. Apples might sell for pennies in one village and fetch a fortune in a far medieval settlement. It’s your job to follow the rumours and weigh your options before your strategy becomes useless. Study the market, plan your next move, and decide where your goods will take you.

You only have so many coins to spend and so much room in your cart, so you can’t take everything with you. You can either play it safe with reliable goods or spend more on something that might fetch a higher price. Just keep an eye on freshness, because the longer your goods sit around, the harder it might be to sell them. No one really wants spoiled apples… unless they are up to something. Open your stall, lay out your wares, and begin bargaining.

Name your price and hear what your customers have to offer. Settle for a “fair” profit or haggle your way for a few extra coins. Learn when to make the right call because greed isn’t a good title to hang above your head.A day’s trading is done, but your journey is far from over.…
