Merchant-business in Voyage Century |
Ó
This is all about trade. If you want to be shown the money, then you better pay attention and turn yourself into a real merchant. Business is business, after all. But this game, it offers that and much more. So you better know how to deal your cards right.
What you have to know in Voyage Century is that the merchants are divided into two groups: the simplex merchant and the multiplex merchant. These two groups are further divided into sub-groups.
The Simplex merchant, basically is just that - a merchant. Their main job is to commence trade. They aren't armed with weapons, since there's no need for them to, nor do they produce or make any products. The two sub-groups are the Shuttle Race and Player to Player.
Shuttle Race merchants sell popular goods, and mainly earn the price difference from NPCs in different cities. The kind of trade they engage is essentially advantageous for a rookie, since it gets them familiar with the game, as well as the techniques in amassing their original fortune.
The Player to Player merchants, meanwhile, engage in trade by buying in and selling out at a profit thru player to player. What they do is to buy goods at a lower price from one player, and then put it up for sale to another player at a higher price. To pull off this role, you need to be familiar with the market's supply and demand, as well as the skill for calling the price right. This kind of transaction is most probably used by high level players in fortune accumulation and forestalling*.
*Forestalling: after finishing a certain capital funding, merchants will purchase a large amount of some goods and sell them during their popular seasons to make great profits.
Now, let's move on to the second kind of merchant, the Multiplex merchant. Basically, as their name suggests, these merchants are the multi-tasking kind. Not only do they engage in business, they also act as fighters, collectors and producers. Now, there are three sub-groups for these merchants.
The Business-battle type generally considers battle fighting as a long occupation, while business as a living way. Mostly, merchants of this kind come from players who don't really like team cooperation, or who finds it difficult to make a team with merchants to share money.
The second sub-group would be the Business-producing type. This group is economy-intended, producing and selling all by themselves. To a certain extent, most of them are like Shuttle Race businessmen. The difference is that they collect materials to process into finished products, and then sell them to the market. Apart from that, they can also improve their compounding skill and upgrade the level of their ships.
The third sub-group is the Processing type. Purchasing various material for compounding and manufacturing is what they do in order to upgrade their levels promptly. And then, they'll sell the finished products to the market, which in turn will improve the efficiency. Important for this kind of role is a high insight into the market price. Without it, you may lose money by buying materials at a high price and selling processed goods at a low price.
So there. That's the rundown on the Merchant-business in Voyage Century. May you use these tips well, and may your businesses prosper.
