Hey there is already 100 topics about this but I'm going to bring it up again.
Please, since you already did big update for the sailors AND CM carrack gear, can we also get some Bartering QoL?
I suggest the following:
1. Shorter the barter refresh cool down from 2h -> 1h. Keep the parley restrictions same.
People who can only play 2-3hr a day are more likely to hate bartering because of the long cool down.
2. Cut bartering item weight to half from what it is now. Keep the parley restrictions same.
T4/T5: 1000LT -> 500LT
T3: 900LT -> 450LT
T2: 800LT -> 400LT
T1: 100LT > Stays same
Even with maxed ship with all store items bartering is still VERY SLOW if you do anything else than spam T1s.
Like it can easily take 5hrs per day.
It's bit too much for what the life skill offers (basically no silver compared to any other activity, even less than alchemy/cooking and way less than fishing). Basically only people that barter are the ppl who just like to see exp go up. They aren't doing it for silver or fun.
3. Better UI for route planning to nearby islands
"Show closest" locations doesn't take into account that some islands might be on opposite sides of each other it is kinda useless majority of the time.
Plus make the chore of opening lots of Lost trade boxes faster ^^
So you are fine with money per hour, you only need QoL changes and then this profession will be perfect. So much motivation to do bartet today, I see.

Oh yes the money is bad but I don't think PA wants to make it good either. :(
(Bartering used to be really good money in 2020 but it was nerfed)
Barter refresh CD should just be removed. There is already the barter points restricting people, there's no need for the CD anymore.
Sell all from mount would be good, or move the wharf storage to the wharf manager so you can simply move to storage then sell from storage.
After like 200 barters, you shouldn't need any help planning your routes with bartering. People seem to try and make it harder than it has to be and need apps and such.
I've posted before about T2-T5 barter weights. PA doesn't want to change them for whatever reason (could be stacking them up and transporting them via horse or something, who knows).
My suggestion instead was to just double the weight capacity of boats. Literally double them.
Also, make T5's stackable!!
Because of fishers, perhaps double the distance to "anchor" like they did for disembark. Some channels you simply can't even get to the barter npc because of people fishing on their boats at it.
A few additions
1. Make it possible to repair/refuel at wharf manager without getting off the ship (maybe add refuel to barter manager UI?)
2. Make route planning easier: if I'm looking at a T3 item, and I click on the item next to it to see next barter point, then it should not bring me to a T3-ship material exchange point.
3. Shorten the CD for Crow Trade Voucher to 1h, or remove the CD, and let us burn our loot scrolls into parley if we want to. If the voucher keeps its cd, then show the remaining cd on the scroll, like any other scrolls with cooldown; now you can only see the CD if you click it, and it says it has xx cooldown left.
4. Let us keep half/some of "special barter exp" if we hit skip on a special barter. I mean, if we hit skip, let us have the next special barter sooner.
5. I don't know if this would cause isseues for people in other time zones (I'm in CET), but: reset barter refresh at 00:00 UTC like any other daily resets. Feel free to give reason if this is not a good idea.
