Need help with merchanting when your lvl 20-30?? This guide will hopefully help you from my past experiences
HOW TO MERCHANT?
Once you have reached lvl 20, you can start merchanting. Merchanting is basically delivering goods to another place and getting a reward after your job is complete. It isnt as easy as you think becuase there are many things to it that you might not know about!
WHERE TO START?
1st of all go to the Specialty shop in either Jangan or Dowhang. Buy a merchant flag and equip it straight away into your character. It will appear in the bottom right corner.
Now you need to purchase either a horse or a camel from the Stable in the Trans section.
Trans Facts
Camel- A camel does move 1 m slower than a horse but that makes a big difference. For eg is when a thief is following you in a huge pack and there NPC thief kills yoru camel. You would'nt have enough speed to make it and your camel will probably die. (I will explain more clear later) That may be the downside but the plus side is that it can fit 16,000 gold of supplies until it reaches 2 star (Will explain later on), while a horse can only fit around 13,000. It also has almost double the HP of a Horse.
Horse- This horse moves slighly faster and is good escaping tight situations. Its especially handy if you get of your horse and kill everything around you (Recomended lvl 26+)(Click dismount to get off your horse, it wont disapear like a real horse), while moving and never get back on your horse. The downside is that you can only fit 13K of supplies and if you succeed you wont get as much.
Now once you have chosen your trans get some Horse Potions. Get about 50 small potions for yrou camel and about 75-100 potions for your horse due to the lack of HP. It is also handy if you get the Potion which recovers abnormal status. It is handy when your trans is frozen or burnt by anything.
After you have gotten the potions it's time for you to get the supplies. You must be on your transport and travel to the specialty shop, noticing that your trans are super slow ;P. Go buy some supplies until it reaches 1 star or 2 star etc
Star trade facts
The amount of supplies you put on your transport determinds the star.
1 star - For a horse the max is around about 14K. If it is 1 star there will be less NPC theivs to kill and REAL theivs wont be able to attack you.
2 star - There are now 2 thiefs on you and also REAL thievs will attack you. Try doing 2 star when your a high lvl to prevent your trans to be dieing becuase once the higher lvl, the trans will have much more HP.
3 star + - Basically the same only a lot more amount of thievs to kill.
Now that you have gotten your supplies its time to head to the destination. From Jangan you go to dowhang and from Dowhang you go to Jangan. It wont be as easy as you think though. As I have said before you will have theivs following you. They are NPC theivs and they are YOUR LVL and sometimes lower. Also if you are doing 2 star REAL theivs will follow you. But other than that there are other things to concern as well.
TIPS ALONG THE WAY
. Aviod other merchanters becuase there NPC theivs can attack yoru transport if you are too close.
. Aviod large packs of theivs even if you are doing 1 star becuase if there on a horse there NPC thievs can kill your trans, in 1 shot if the thief is a high lvl.
. Carry extra potions if you want. The feel of success feels much better than failing! You should be putting the horse potions in yoru quick slot
. BUY SOME HP AND MP POTS! What is bad is you dieing. Once you die your trans is in danger and you wont be able to use potions on it or anything.
. CARRY AT LEAST 2 TRANS. Once your trans has died you will be able to summon another one and pick up the things it dropped (supplies) (Super handy)
.
Know every monster lvl and the path your taking. Here are some aggresive monsters which will/might attack you when in sight.
- Tigers (Kill them)
- White tigers/Black Tigers (Kill them)
- Yeohas (Ignore, easy peasy)
- Chakjis (kill, unless there in a huge pack if your a int build)
- Earth Ghosts (Kill everyone you see if you are lvl 25+, they will just attck you, why not attack them)
- Earth Taosts (DONT ENTER THERE LAIR (Earth ghosts Canyon), if a gang of them attack you, you are possibly dead plus they shoot from a distance)
- Gunpowders (Destroy, just like erath ghosts)
-Hyungo ghosts soldiers (kill, easy unless in a pack)
. Let a hunter help you. It is there job to protact you from theives and kill teh NPC thievs for you

Who knows you may be lucky
Now once you have traven all the way to your destination, talk to the speicialty shop and sell teh supplies. (Sell them in Jangan if you bought the supplies in dowhang) You will possibly make about 60K+
MY SPECIAL PATH
Okay, this is one of many paths to choose which will have a higher sucess rate. From Donwhang, you are wanting to travel to Jangan, exit through South gate. Go into the Earth Ghost canyon and dont get off your horse/camel. Keep using your pots (when half way or less(Large or X large)) until you reach west ferry. From there go the long way by taking the curve and going down the road below the word tiger mountain. You can get off your trans now if needed. Then take the cross the bridge 3rd from the top and dont enter though south. Go up to West Gate and there! (It is asically the matter of you seeing any theivs or not)
Good luck and hope you make it!
