A Guide to Making Money in the Origin of the Age of Discovery
1. Basics of Trading
Trading is important in this game, along with adventure and combat.
From a one-sided perspective, it can be said that it is a transaction in which goods are purchased at a low price in a certain area and sold at a high price where needed. In other words, you can earn a lot of gold coins through sailing transactions, and you can also gain trading reputation and trading experience.
There are exchanges in every city, and normal transactions require understanding of the relevant languages. The higher the language level, the greater the discount when buying and the greater the discount when selling, and is also affected by fleet expertise.
Just as alcohol is not traded in Islamic cultures, historical research shows that depending on the culture, some items are not traded, and the purchasable quantities of some items may increase or decrease depending on the season. Seasonal effects can be known through the seasonal markers displayed on traded items.
2. Market trends
For efficient trading, it is most important to first understand the market price.
Market price is shown as a percentage next to the price of the traded item. If it's lower on a 100% basis, it means it's trading cheaper than nearby cities, if it's high, it means it's more expensive. In other words, the basic structure is to buy items that are 100% below the market price and sell items that are 100% above the market price.
Generally speaking, you can list products with a trading volume of 90% or less as a recommended buy list, and products with a trading volume of 110% or less as a recommended sell list. This is your chance to make big money.
In addition, you can grasp the market price trend of each trading instrument in the past week on the chart. The closer it is to the lowest cost, the better the buying price, and the closer it is to the highest cost, the better the selling price.
The list of trade items sold on the exchange is updated regularly and can be updated instantly using Blue Diamonds.
3. Tariffs
After the novice benefit ends, all transactions on the exchange will be subject to tariffs.
In particular, in transactions with countries other than the home country, the customs duties assigned to each country must be paid. Duties apply to both purchases and sales. If the transaction is in the form of buying from another country and then selling to another country, you may pay double tariffs and suffer losses.
As for tariffs, as long as you get the tax exemption certificate from each country's [Royal Palace], you can enjoy tariff preferences. However, due to the high cost of purchasing a duty-free pass, you should carefully consider your main trading items and routes in the future.
In addition, you can also enjoy tariff benefits such as country relations, admiral's position, city attributes, professional knowledge, etc. The total tariff preferences will not be less than 0%.
4. Emergencies
trading events
Occasionally, your navigator or docked in a city will notify you about specific trade items. This is called a transaction event.
Skyrocketing: The price of a single product has skyrocketed.
Plunge: The price of a single product suddenly drops sharply.
Trend: A certain category is skyrocketing.
Surplus: Items in a specific category are falling rapidly.
Surge: An unpopular commodity skyrockets in price.
Trading events allow you to take advantage of higher than usual market profits, such as buying a trading item at a lower price or selling a trading item at a higher price. Especially don't miss popular and skyrocketing trading items.
In addition, depending on the job composition and expertise (buying strategy, selling strategy, negotiation strategy) of the navigators deployed in the fleet, bargaining events may occur during the buying and selling process.
Negotiation policy levels increase the chances of negotiation occurring and the number of renegotiations. In addition, the higher the buying and selling strategy, the more favorable the transaction will be, and the higher the discount will be when the negotiation is successful. If the negotiation is successful, you can get a certain percentage of the profit.
5. Specialties
Among the traded items, there are some specialties that can only be purchased in specific areas. Since it is an item that cannot be obtained elsewhere, it is extremely rare and is the best trading item without greatly damaging its value.
Ideal as a trading item when you're pioneering new routes or planning a long-distance move.
Trading special products can gain trading reputation and contribution points.
While on a voyage, you can search for specific trading items in a specific city or region on the world map, and see what items are being processed in advance. In addition, you can save frequently visited cities and transactions for easy viewing at any time.
You can also view the specialties of each of the above cities at a glance.
Navigation can help you choose any deal you want to achieve successfully.
6. Increased loading capacity
The trading goods are loaded at the [shipyard]. Having a payload allows you to close more deals on a single voyage.
Generally speaking, trade-specific ships have more space than other classes of ships.
Even on the same ship, you can obtain more space by adding material warehouses or transforming high-level warehouses through the shipyard - [Design] - [Cabin Modification].
Additionally, you can load more trade goods by first adjusting the loading ratio of supplies such as water, food, and materials.
