Editing Merchant

'''Merchant''' is a type of [[professions|profession]] in Episode 4: Crenopolis. The profession revolves around accepting bounties at the [[Merchant's Guild]], purchasing the items from one NPC and delivering them to another NPC in the city. Higher levels of Merchant allow the player to receive steep discounts on some items, such as hides for [[Leatherworker|Leatherworking]], or [[Pearl (variant)|pearls]] and [[Cabbage (variant)|cabbages]] for [[Alchemist]].

You can stockpile up to six bounties, and those bounties can be of the same delivery, so waiting at the [[Guild Bounty Board]] for a few minutes to fill your bounties with the desired delivery route is an option.

== Unlocks ==
===Guild Bounty Board===
The [[Guild Bounty Board]] refreshes every two minutes. 

The EXP and Money rewards scale by level, changing at unlock levels. The table contains the XP reward and profit at each item's unlock level, although the XP and money scale with level, with the full table found here: [[Merchant Guild Bounties XP & Values]]. 

General Tips: 

* Watch and wait out the timer within the [[Guild Bounty Board]] menu for a chance to double up on higher value trades, or for other items that share a similar route. 
* Teleporting is often faster than walking!
* Items can be pre-purchased and dropped on the floor until an appropriate bounty is available. Items on the ground expire after ~10 minutes.
* Consider leveling [[Detective]] to unlock shortcuts between different rooms. After clearing a raid room, one of the rooms will stay open to become a shortcut.
* [[The Battle of Fortunehold]] quest also rewards a shortcut between [[Fortunehold Farm]] and [[Meggrit's Market]]. Unlocking the shortcut itself does not require the full completion of the questline, but merchant level 55 is required to progress far enough into the quest to unlock the shortcut.

===Passive activities===
Merchant  passive activities involve working for various stalls around Crenopolis. Some stalls pay in items, and some pay in coins, profit values assume items are sold. All passive activities complete 1 action every 20 seconds.

''Passive activities give reduced experience when a players level is high enough to perform a new passive activity for that profession. The numbers shown here are the full experience.''
