Merchant

Membership in the merchant guild is not just a status, but a sign of respect, weight and trust. This is the image of an experienced and reliable merchant, whose word is as strong as gold.

People like this are willing to do business with, from small shopkeepers to influential trading houses. Their advice in the field of trade is especially highly valued; people listen to them and look up to them.

Merchants are the true elite of the trading world. They set the tone on exchanges and markets, manage the flow of goods and shape the economic climate of the virtual state.

Before starting any major construction, even emperors prefer to first discuss the details with the merchant guild - after all, it is the merchants who provide the supplies on which the entire economy rests.

Conditions for obtaining status #

The bourgeoisie no longer needs to acquire knowledge in public schools. It is enough to simply join the trading guild by paying the entry fee - 150 gold coins. This is not a small amount, but the very fact that the clone was able to take such a step will demonstrate his wealth and reliability. People will start to listen to your words and actions, they will follow your example and turn to you for advice.

Status options #

The bulk of gaming opportunities are available to clones who have reached the “bourgeois” level.

With each subsequent level of the clone’s social status, these capabilities only increase by one level. But this level is expensive, not everyone can climb it.

Job #

When employed at state enterprises, a merchant can take positions that are not available to clones of a lower status:

If a merchant is fond of hunting, he can drive a wild boar.

Agriculture #

A merchant, thanks to his organizational skills and the inherent amount of magic in our game, can simultaneously manage a large business and perform a huge amount of hard peasant work.

A clone with the “merchant” status can:

Own business #

A merchant is a wealthy resident of the world of clones, and can already afford to own not only enterprises for producing and processing ordinary resources. A clone with the status of “merchant” can open his own jewelry production and create jewelry with jemstones. These decorations are not just beautiful, but also have useful properties, as they affect various characteristics of clones.

A clone with the status of “bourgeois” could afford to purchase a small pleasure boat with a capacity of 10 passengers and send them on a voyage to get ingredients for elixirs. A clone with the status of “merchant” thinks on a completely different scale - you can own a pleasure boat with a capacity of 50 seats or even a large cruise ship on which 100 clones can go to distant islands for magical ingredients at once.

Urban planning #

The village owned by the clone with the status of “bourgeois” is no longer a small estate, but not such a large settlement either.

Having received the status of “merchant”, you can raise the level of the settlement and transfer it to the status of a city! The city’s manufacturing enterprises make it possible to extract and process many more resources. Large-scale production requires more workers. This means that the number of residents is growing, and along with it, the amount of taxes that you receive every day is growing!

In addition, you can already build a production chain of administratively subordinate daughter settlements: estate - village - city. The cost of your resources decreases. Do you understand what this means?

Kings of the Merchant Guild #

A wise merchant is one whose storehouse is filled with a wide variety of goods and who knows how to put the right ones on the counter at the right time. Today, food products are expensive - there is a shortage of them on the market. Tomorrow, the demand for high-quality building materials or fodder crops may increase.

To get the most out of trade, a far-sighted merchant stocks up on the necessary goods in advance and delivers them to the market at the most opportune moment.

In addition, he always keeps his finger on the pulse - he watches with interest the appearance of goods at reduced prices. Using a clever system of trading orders, he buys up such positions and places them into storage.

A merchant with substantial reserves can use them wisely in the construction and development of his settlement or principality. And if there is a shortage of any resource, you have to buy more from the commodity exchange.

Buying, like selling, can happen in different ways. You can act aggressively - buy goods in large volumes, causing a price increase and panic in the market. Or you can take a cautious approach: buy in small batches, carefully and discreetly, keeping the price stable.

All these trading subtleties and strategies serve the merchant in his main goal - development and prosperity. Offer large lots to bring down the price, or sell small lots to maintain it.

Merchants also successfully use their knowledge and experience on the currency exchange. They analyze the dynamics of rates and price fluctuations, wait for the right moment to profitably buy large volumes of game currency, and then sell it at a good profit.

By trading on a large scale, they earn solid incomes. Profitably acquired gold can be used to expand production, purchase scarce goods, invest in career growth - or even help its owner in real life.

The path to noble titles #

The merchant is a respected and influential clone, but in essence he is still a representative of the common class. You are already at the top among the commoners, and now it is time to think about the next step - joining the real elite of this world: the aristocracy.

The first step on this path is the title of “Nobleman” – the first of the noble statuses. Receiving it is not just an honor, but an important milestone on the path to the highest goal - the imperial throne.

However, the path to power requires not only passing through all social levels. Real achievements are also necessary: a powerful principality and a developed metropolis, which you will manage with wisdom and foresight.

We wish you exciting trading, profitable deals, successful construction projects and only positive experience on this great path!
