Do level 39 below have 1 star protection when they are carrying special goods sold by those 3 trader npcs..
Well.. I was wondering because i was on my level 26 bowwoman and bought 1star worth of goods yet player thieves were still to attack me..
Was i bugged or do you really dont have 1 star protection while carrying those special goods?

A normal 1* perhaps - but I am not so sure about a special goods 1*.
An advice - the special goods spawns
a lot more thieves then a regular trade, a 2* gives you about 6 - 8 thieves with up to three levels above you for a normal spawn, so bring a hunter. The gain, for my minimal sample size of 1, was that it gives about 40% more revenue than a normal load. It was a pain to fight 7 level 71 thieves as a single level 69 character.
Considering there already are special rules about the special goods, it would not surprise me that you would not be safe as 1*. I just do not think they are counted as the star you are carrying - i.e. a 1* becomes 2* for npc-thief spawning, a 2* becomes a 3* or possibly a 4*.

Precisely always double spawn, since you can't double spawn a double spawn. Unless I'm so lucky I never actually double spawned with bargain goods.

+1
Yesterday i tried that , the bargain goods started to be sold in 12.30 (GMT -5), so,i went to get some loot with my lvl 34 cleric, and well, got some loot and while y was going to jangan, got lots of spawns
, like i were carrying like 3*
But well, could sell the loot, but with this im so sure that DOESNT EXISTS 1* PROTECTION if u trade bargain goods.

I have traded hunted and thiefed bargin goods. The facts are this people. 1 star cant be directly attacked. We have tested this. Hell I heard that rumor that all bargin stars were attackable. And I am here as a thief who knows. They are not.

What likely happened is one of two things. Either you did the auto 1* purchase and did not double check it and actually left with just over a 2*. Or you got hit with the splash glitch in which a player thief can attack a mob in close proximity to you and have the damage transfer. I tried it with friends etc. When they had 1* I could not attack. And my Rogue has no splash damage so I can't glitch them dead either.
