. Trade Outposts and Bargain Goods: Where and how?
---------------------------------------------------

Other than the towns, there are some trade outposts on the map where the goods can be sold and bought. But they are somewhat unique themselves because they don't function the same way as regular Speciality Shops. First, the specialities dealer won't want to make business with you, so you'll have to convince him by doing a small quest. Go to a town and equip your merchant flag. Then go talk to him, a small "Start Conversing" option will show up, and hear his requests. The quests and trade outposts locations are as follows:

1. Bandit Den Trade Outpost (Tiger Mountain Region)
It is located inside the Bandit Den, a building a bit north of the main central building. Avaiable after level 20.
Quest: Deliver an item to some Gisaeng on Barrom Street of Jangan (near the entrance to the Thief Town), then kill 20 White Tigers.

2. Black Robber Den Trade Outpost (Tarim Basin Region)
It is located inside the valley of the main Black Robber Strongold, go down the Southeast path, a small tent. Avaiable after level 30.
Quest: Deliver an item to the Storekeeper on Donwhang (the bulky man that usually speaks nothing) and kill 20 Hyeongcheons.

3. Niya Remains Trade Outpost (Taklamakan Region)
It is inside a destroyed house in the northern part of the Niya Remains circle. Avaiable after level 60.
Quest: Deliver an item to Sanmok of Hotan and kill 20 Shakrams.
Thanks yoko for the info

4. Evil Order Trade Outpost (Minor Asia Region)
The Silkroad Online site mentions this outpost but I didnt locate the NPC, so I presume it is closed for now.

Here is a map for the first two trade outpost locations.


After the quest is done, you can trade all you want. But if you notice, the dealers' shops are actually empty! They only sell a few limited goods avaiable only a few times every day. When you see a message saying "Bargain Goods are being sold", it's because those items are now avaiable to the NPCs. They are actually priced the same as other items because the pricing system isn't implemented yet by Joymax but this will be fixed on future updates.

Note that these outposts are NOT safe zones, so you can be attacked anytime and you will spawn NPC thieves even while you're selling. If you're attacked while selling you'll be interrupted and you'll have to deal with the problem before you can restart selling.

Hardly. They should sticky it in every forum. Pm it to every member. And put it on a popup on the main page. You do realize that this is just 1 of almost 3 to 4 threads on the same topic on the first page of this section alone. And even at that only a tiny fraction have read or know this. I am seriously getting tired of camping this to thief only to be the only person to show.

So the bargain stuff has to do with trading?

Everyone keeps telling me thats when if you buy something over 100k form a stall you could win some gay lttle 200% gold drop ticket lol.

Um... No, that's completely unrelated. When you sell stuff over one million (I think that's the value, but I might be wrong) stalling, you join an "event" where a random participant gets the scroll. That's once every inspection.

These bargain are trade related. They're very profitable, one Black Robber Den -> Hotan on 4* will give about 900k to the trader. But they aren't easy without many hunters (and pots).

So, if you choose a 1 star trade with all the "bargain goods". Will a player thief still be able to attack you? :?

I am not on any particular side. My 74 is hunter. My 52 is thief. I have a jobless 58. And a 20 trader. I enjoy all jobs but thief tends to be the most fun. You can hunt or trade without seeing action. When you thief you are the action. But you can ask darklackle. I have hunted along side him.

Well here on Greece we have too many thieves, it is barely fun to trade anymore, because the choke points are always camped.

I don't know about trade ratios, because I use the nice-nice convenient button called "Sell All" every single time I sell stuff.
