Improvements to Barter (after introducing T6, T7)

Hey, last patch for barter was pretty nice, definitely improvement in this area although there are still few places that can be improved:

QoL: 

- add one button to repair damage, repair ship equipment and restock ship food, ammo

- add option to sell items directly from ship (moving T7 to storage just to sell them 1 minute later with full storage is tough)

- stackable T5 items (as T1-T4)

- make T7 islands fixed - hakoven/arehaza -> always on sausans and edania, kamasylvia -> always epheria and olvia coast, loml -> always lema and illiya

Current problems:

- after introducing T6 and T7, ocean barters are useless. If someone is doing all T5 -> T6 -> T7 barters then after restock there is no more parley to do any other barters. I have Guru 15, first mate for barter and even with parley scroll there is no more parley to do other barters for crow coins or money

Possible solution:
- reduce parley cost of everything by 50%

- reduce weight T3 - T5 barter items by half

- increase barters from T4 to T5 from 6 to 10 per island

That should make barter T6 to T7 and restock a little bit faster and still give us room to do ocean barters/crow coins barter for spending more time on it

With new T6 and T7 barters, you should not be doing all T5 barters, (until it is definetively confirmed that there is alway the required T4>T5 barter item for T5>T6) you should just do enough that there's always 5+ of each T5 items in storage (10 if you have enough storage space).

Once you cutdown the unneccessary T4>T5 barters, you should have more than enough parley to do the high value (160+) crow coins barters.

Here's a snippet from my spreadsheet what a my run is like at Guru 39, without value pack
all T6 and T7 barters (60 barters), 4 full T5 barters (24 barters), 11 Crow Coin barters.

That left me with enough parley for 5 more trades, or 32 if I pop a crow voucher

You need 30 T5 items for all trades to T6 so doing 24 barters you will have everytime 6 items less. Eventually you will reach point when you need to stop doing T6 because lack of items. I prefer doing always 5 T5 barters to keep same amount of T5s. 

I don't see in your post barters for T1-T4. You never restock them?

...

I don't say it's impossible to do more than just T6->T7 right now but would be much better to make these numbers a little more flexible

you all miss it, it take to long to get done spending 8 1/2 hours doing 3 set is to long. I never understand why people move stuff to sell to the storage I move it to me i can put nine t5 on me to sell and sell to the warf manager how hard is that.

Because for other people it don't take that long. It takes me ~2h for 1 refresh so 6h a day. I think it's ok time, maybe money could be a little higher but it's not bad.

Because it's faster to move 10 items to storage and sell it there than to move 1 by 1 to inventory, then click through few different menus to sell to npc.

I move 6 to inventor at a time it easy and they change Barteering from needing a ship to barter to where you can use the fasest ship and get it done so yes the people that use a ship for bartering are at a dis advanage now but know they always change the rule so people become more disadvange

From my experience, the parley costs are fine. At 7961 parley per exchange, I can do 125 exchanges per refreshes.
30 xT6->7, 30 x T5-6, 30 x T4-5. 15 x T3-T4.  5 T2-T3 (assuming you always only do x3 - just manage the stockpile properly) Totaling . That leaves 15 extra exchanges for upkeeping T2 and T1.

Overall, the updates are nice. If possible to make T5-6 stackables, it would improve the timing.
