Hello o/
Since I'm not good with words as my lazy ass is concentrating mostly on afking I'll try to be brief.
Bartering! Most of us know it, many already stopped but some still love it deep in their salt filled hearts. Recently, after months of being dirty land rat, I've tried sea trading again. There's one thing I'm missing: ships. Seas are empty, and there's not much to do being honest. Grinding at sea is silly unless you're one of the crazy seadogs looking for NOL, and bartering is on the low end of profits.
Hence my suggestion: give us bartering mastery and some kind of bonus based on it! What kind of bonus? Honestly I don't know what people want. I would like more money, so profit from selling barter items based on % would be best for me. But, maybe people want something else - I don't know, I'm just sea troll.
But "this been suggested and there are no bartering clothes!!1" you might say. Yes, exactly, and here comes second part of my suggestion:
Give us sea themed tool(s)! For barterers it could be Manos Merchant Scale, as an example. It could be used in similar manner as Riding Crop for Training mastery. So, bonus Bartering mastery, and maybe small % turn rate/speed for sea mounts.
Wouldn't that be neat? Arr?
