A Few Caravan Trade Questions:

DESOUL · **Joined:** Dec 2007 **Posts:** 175 **Location:**

So i've been kinda bored lately and i've started doing caravans for fun , being a trader 1* trades seemed to be kinda really boring and non-profitable.
So i started doing solo 2* and 3* ones.
Now i've got a few questions regarding these higher stars:

1. If you die by a NPC thief then pickup your goods back does that decrease profit in after selling the goods?
2. Can player thiefs attack you if your under lv40 and doing a 2-3* star caravan trade? (Believe it or not i've yet encountered any >.>)
3. If i'd have a hunter with me, would i lose some % of the profit to him when selling my goods for the protection? Or alteast for tagging with me =\
4. If parteing with another trader, then would the thieves of both traders or only one spawn? (lol that'd be a pain for 2 traders having 8-18 thieves >.>)
5. Can a thief pick up your goods without a camel? =\

1- No
2- Yes
3- Not sure about profit, but the hunter get XP when you sell you Items.
4- I'm not sure about that, but when I went in a trade run with my friend, I got some thieves at me from his lvl.
5- I don't think so, because when traders die, thieves spawn their camels/horses and go.

Here comes number six ;P

6. When does profit increase from a 1* trade or any other, when you level up your merchant level, when you level up your base level or when you get a better mean of transport?

I'm pretty sure it's just when you get a new transport. A lvl 60 ox holds more goods as a 1* than a lvl 30 camel does.

as you lvl you will get more inventory slots that open in what ever transport you are using.

also don't constantly buy and sell the same thing; that makes the value drop. Variety is the spice of life
