- Commerce Course Instructor
There are more professions than what was covered in today's lecture.
Someday you will may become interested in a profession other than the one you have chosen.
Before seeing one thing to the end, people tend to get infatuated in other professions,
but a Sailor always has a good outlook! Be flexible! You need more and deeper wisdom than the ocean! ...Now, we will hold a lecture on the fundamental basics of being a Merchant.
The Instructor will be here soon...
- 9333
- Instructor Gregory
Yes, good afternoon.
I am Gregory Holsinger del Hansbach.
It's long, but please try to remember it.
- 9334
- What will you answer?
- 9335
- You always say that!
- 9336
- What a long name...
- 9337
- Instructor Gregory
I always say that...
Huh, have we met before? Oh my... my memory is really failing me...
Oh well, let's get started with the lecture, shall we?
- 9338
- Instructor Gregory
It's so long that no one will remember it. Please call me Gregory.
Let's get started with the lecture right away.
- 9339
- Instructor Gregory
First of all, what is a Merchant to you?
- 9340
- How will you respond?
- 9341
- A profession where one transports and sells things.
- 9342
- A profession which makes and sells things.
- 9343
- Instructor Gregory
When you think of a merchant it seems as though you think of "someone who trades".
Well then, let me start there.
That so called "trading" involves buying some trade goods sold at the Market of one town and then going to sell them for a higher price at the Market of another town.
For example, say you buy some fish in Town A and then you sell that fish in Town B.
In this case if Town B does not normally sell fish then the demand for fish would be high there and you can sell it for a higher price.
On the other hand, if fish is already sold in Town B then the demand will be low and you won't be able to fetch a very high price for it.
Now, quiz time.
The trade goods sold in Town A are fish, chicken, and eggs.
The trade goods sold in Town B are chicken, wine, and fish.
Which trade goods should you carry with you if you are going from Town A to Town B?
- 9344
- How will you respond?
- 9345
- Fish.
- 9346
- Poultry
- 9347
- Eggs.
- 9348
- Instructor Gregory
Fish and chicken are handled in B town, so you can won't be able to sell for a good price.
The correct answer here is eggs.
Also, if you trade between A town and B town and stock up on Trade Goods, then you can decrease the cost of the ocean crossing.
That's because if you get 100 boxes of eggs, split it and carry it in two trips, then it will cost you double the ocean crossing fees.
If you acquire the Trading Skill, then you can carry lots all at once and cut down on the miscellaneous fees.
- 9349
- Instructor Gregory
You will someday become a Sailor who will travel all over the world.
When that happens, I think you will realize that Trade Goods have the flavour of their locales.
For example, Whiskey in the British Isles, Holland Calico in The Netherlands, or Parchment from the Balkan Peninsula.
These are "Noted Goods" and are highly valued in other regions and can be sold for high prices.
There are many different types of noted goods and if you buy them wholesale, you can sell them for extra.
This is an important point, so please remember it.
- 9350
- Instructor Gregory
Now I want to tell you about another type of merchant, one who makes and sells items.
Creating items is called "production".
To produce items you'll need different production skills, raw ingredients, and recipe books.
The five production skills you can learn are Cooking, Handicraft, Casting, Sewing, and Storage.
Raw ingredients are basically any item used in production, including trade goods and consumable items.
Recipes are written documents that describe how to produce various items.
When you gather all the items required you can create, or "produce", a new item from these raw ingredients.
You can then take the items you've produced and sell them to other sailors in the Bazaar, or sell them directly at the Market or at the Item Shop for profit.
Of course, gathering raw ingredients requires a bit of capital and some raw ingredients can only be obtained outside of the Market so that makes this job a little more difficult than others perhaps.
But, I definitely think you should try it sometime.
It may require a little extra work but the potential profit is also very great. Plus, by making things you can really experience your contributions to the world first-hand.

In your current profession, if you run into a wall, I think turning over a new leaf as a Merchant would be good.
As a parting gift, I will give you a Job Transfer form.
...I forgot it in my office, so while I go and get it, please tidy up your luggage.
- 9360
- Commerce Course Instructor
Instructor Gregorystill isn't back.
Your bags are still full, so you might as well tidy them up before Instructor Gregory
returns.
- 9361
- Instructor Gregory
Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the Merchant's Guild Card which will allow you to transfer into the base job of a Merchant.
- 9362
- Instructor Gregory
Take this and give it to the Guildmaster in any town and you can change professions.
All right, well that's the end of my lecture. I hope to see you again someday, Player.
