Traders Quest

Trade Ministers will now offer players the ability to deliver goods between cities in exchange for a variety of rewards!

• Players may get an offer for a trade order by accessing the context menu on a City Trade Minister. Trade ministers can be found near the docks or stables in the loyalty cities.
• Upon accepting a trade order players will not be able to magically teleport except for using public moongates. Using public moongates will forfeit any distance bonus and rare chance at rewards.
• Players accepting their first trade order will receive a message from “A friend…”
• Trade orders can be cancelled at any time by selecting “Cancel Trade Order” from the context menu on the trade order container.
• Items required to fill the trade order are generated from the real time inventories of shop keepers in the region.
• Up to five items in varying quantities can be applied to a trade order and are based on the total number of trade orders a player has completed.
• Items may be dropped inside the trade order directly or filled from the top level of the player’s backpack using the “Fill from Backpack” context menu option from the trade order container.
• Stackable, insured, and blessed items will not be put into the trade crate when using the “fill from Backpack” option.
• Trade orders cannot be removed from the player’s backpack and will be destroyed if the player character transfers.
• Each trade order has a destination city indicated in the item property display of the trade order container.
• While delivering the trade order players may be randomly ambushed by monsters.
• Ambush mobs will have a special “Ambusher” item property, and will despawn after 10 minutes of not being attacked.
• Monster difficulty scales based on the stats and skills of the player.
• Killing monsters while delivering a trade order provides a bonus to the amount of gold the destination city treasury receives up to a capped number of kill per delivery.
• Trade orders with greater distances between the origin and destination city will boost the amount of gold deposited to the destination city treasury as well as the amount of resources rewarded.
• When a player successfully returns a filled trade order to the correct destination city’s Trade Minister they have a chance of receiving a variety of rewards including,
  • 1 in a set of story books with a unique story from each of the loyalty cities. Each player is eligible for one set of books and will receive a new one each time a book is rewarded.
