I feel there are a lot of people who do get interested in the trade lifeskill, but it's been a while since things have really been shaken up.

We had a twist a while ago where prices of crates and fish were increased so for example, youre 250k crate is now worth 500k. Prior to this... your 250k crate needed the desert buff to get 500k. sooo there was no real price increase, moreso just a removal of the desert buff, which was awesome. So prices, to me, have never really been increased. (ok) But there are still many things I'd love to see changed overall...

Some of these ideas:

OCEAN: NEW!~ Cargo ship being added to the game - This would be the best method of moving crates across the ocean. I've heard of extreme examples of players buying a 2nd account, getting a carrack on that account just to put crates on their main character to zoom across the ocean. Or, others using the risky epheria cog w/ a horse stacked on it.. But Im looking for cargo ship. something bigger and better than the advanced/volante setups. Something with very little slots so it wouldnt be the best bartering boat. Maybe it would have 3 slots. and could hold 21,450 30lt crates? ( 3x 7150 ) = 643,500 total weight for example.

LAND: I think the best method should be the forest path wagon. you should be able to hold more than a single horse could and use the speed boost from forest path wagon.

Think about 1 horse having 7150 crates on its back. VS. 4 horses pulling those crates in a wagon. Logically the wagon w/ 4 horses would be faster than the single horse. However, in BDO, 1 horse setup is the quickest. I would love to see the weigh increase and the ability from the wagon be a thing, as well as training those mounts while moving... BONUS PA: people would need stable slots to fit this type of wagon setup, and would swipe for stable slots. ( others would use loyalties, but you get the idea )

TRANSPORT: We only have 1 wagon.

TRADING: No longer needs connecting nodes for increased profits or discounting transportation trade wagon (simliar to how bartering doesnt need a node connection)

BYPRODUCTS: The amount of trading exp seems very bad, even after the recent increase to the amount your getting, its still so low/slow.

ACTIVE TRADING: Rumors spam/system removed. Now, whatever the newletter says it whats happening with future prices.

TRADE ITEMS: Add in master and guru level trade items

NEWSLETTER: Reword all price changes to either; slightly drop. drop.. plumet... or slightly rise! rise!! skyrocket!!!

MASTERY: ???? maybe removes the energy cost on bargaining? maybe increases the chance of recieving a successful bargain? something...

MAGNATE BUFF: was removed... this buff was great for turning in mass amount of crates or heavy active trading when running short distances ( like heidel/velia runs )

LoML: This NPC doesn't have an amity game, therefore, you cannot increase your bargaining # of chances like you can with other towns trade managers

There is still a lot of room for improving things in this section of the game. A lot of players have tons of crates to move, and systems that just can't keep up with production (help)

EDIT: I guess while talking about wagons, I heard costumes on horses on wagons do not give the horses increased chance of getting a skill while leveling up. If this is true, and you fix it, youll see people wanting to buy a decked out wagon, which should be the case tbh... maybe boost wagon skin stats to make them more appealing too? Idk...

Trade mastery when?

Lifeskillers won't really care about trading until they add mastery system to it. 

It's as simple as that. 

I just want the old system back with all the old trade NPC's and better prices.

All they needed to do was increase the prices. and yes, make mastery something worthwhile.
