Trader questions

[Goldwynn]

I made my first trip as a trader/merchant (Samarkand to Constantinople).
To keep things easy I bought just so much goods it was a 1* travel.
After the loss of 2 camels I understood it's better to walk in front of the camel instead of mounting/dismounting every minute.

After crossing/teleporting the sea I was suddely mounted and could not dismount. Screaming my head of till the thieves shot my camel away under my butt.

Question 1: why couldn't I dismount?

After that I ran to Constantinople, thinking a horse is faster and able to carry the amount of trade I had. Using the horse I got four thieves to kill instead of two (contineously). Surprise: at Constantinople I was rewarded for a 2* trip.

Question 2: how could the trip level change during the trip? The horse???

During the first part of the trip some player thieves tried to rob me, hah! They were not able to do this, neither my took attack on them any effect (I had expected this).

Question 3: Depends invulnerability for player thieves from the * lvl or is this granted to a certain experience lvl as trader (if so, which lvl?). I don't like lvl 80 thieves when travelling alone.

Question 4: what are good spots and times to meet other traders to make a trading party?

question 1 : its called lag.. keep spamming with mouse on it..
question 2: camel is not like a horse.. camel is slower horse is faster as speed.. as goods camel can carry more goods and stay 1* horse cant.. for example 1* camel = 200k 1* horse = 170k

question 3: didn't quite understand the question

question 4: depends on your server.. for example my server only guilds trades and usually go at least 10 or 15 stars. usually people do it at midnight i guess..

The problem with your camel might have been caused by a pet. Did you have a pick up pet or wolf on during the trip? I noticed that when you port with a pet,the game auto highlights them. It almost killed my transport a couple times during trade. I am potting away and then notice I am trying to heal my pick-up-pig instead of the transport lol! I don't enable my pets during trade anymore as it is just to much of a hassle when porting.

Q1: lag or a bug, though i doubt its lag since the ncp thieves killed your camel. you could try teleporting back over the river to see if that fixes it next time.

Q2: a hose is faster than a camel but a horse carries less goods. so a 1* on a camel wont always make it a 1* on a horse.

Q3: if your under lvl 40 then player thieves cant attack you if you have a 1*. after lvl 40 player thieves can attack you regardless of how much your carrying.

Q4: this is really server dependent but a lot of trade partys form at the trade ncp. traders would put a share party up in the party network and wait for everyone to meet up in w/e city or what used to happen a lot was someone would just walk up to you as your about to leave and ask you to wait so they can trade with you.

@Sir_Edward

So, as lvl 50 I'm a sitting duck, ready to be shot by all those high lvl thieves. That's nice bull shit

I'm not quite sure about this since some player thieves didn't hurt me.
