imo i dont really like trading. If you are doing 1* you will get maybe like 40k profit, and usally takes around 20min-40min per trade run. I rather grind and find an item. Say if i find a lvl 48 weapon i can sell to npc for 200k or so. that would be 5 trade runs.

I guess i've probably earned millions trading getting to lvl3 trader and a good chunk into it but you also spend a lot of money not to mention DAYS of time getting there. Lets say you do what i did at lvl52, 3* to hotan and back to dw and repeat. Getting to Hotan gives you about 220k profit, doing the journey safely can take upto an hour coz of doublespawns. That'll mean you get 100k an hour. You want 100 times that so, 100 hours ? 4 days+ nonstop trading ? i dont think i would like to do that for the next two weeks of silkroad but your choice

i think with around 500K capital, and being Lv60+, you can 5-star with a bull HT-JG 6times and JG-HT 6times you get around 9-11M net profit if you don't get robbed that is

One star trade runs are good for a spare bit of money and something to do if you're bored, but there's a good chance some asshole will try and rub his higher level thieves onto you then steal your stuff. I've actually been PKed before because someone was so desperate...

so many people 1star pop to jangan, you should probably wait until you can trade to hotan. if you are getting a sos42 soon ,you can go hotan.
Shouled net you a 90ks earning each trip for camel.


I whooped 2 thieves yesterday near jangan, both my level. had to kill em off about 5times before they gave up. then pmed the traders who i had the loot for, but no one wanted to get it back it seems..
So had a guildie come pick it up with thief suit.

it was a 3-4star load combined i guess :D

5*s really arn't worth it unless its an orginized trade with tons of protection. personnaly with the xpensive kind of loot i'm at a 5* full and a 4* 1 stack or maybe less away from that. yuo'd complete alot faster as well

Grinding makes more money than 2-3* trade.
To make a lot of money by trading, you need protection, which can be your guildies or hired. Guidies won't be able to help you repeatedly. the hired one cost money. So to trade enough for an SOS at 4x would take a long, long time.

alright if you really are going to try and get rich by trade dont bother doing hotan-jangan and jangan-hotan for two reasons one round trip of hotan-donwhang-hotan wil get you more you wil stil get more if you go hotan-donwhang-jangan but just go back and forth from hotan to donwhang you wil get richer slightly quicker
