Description

Traders manage their very own businesses from Camp, selling goods and supplies to neighboring areas for profit.^[1]

Butcher's Table

To get started as a Trader the player must obtain the Butcher's Table. The standard cost is 15 Gold Bars to purchase a Butcher's Table from the Wilderness Outfitter store on Cripps' wagon and get the business up-and-running.

Task

Your trusted camp companion Cripps has more talents than just the harmonica. His lifetime of working with animal materials is finally going to pay off with a new mercantile pursuit for you to partner with: Cripps Trading Company.

As the Trader you will turn your camp into a burgeoning business by sourcing materials for Cripps to produce into sellable goods.^[2]

Level Rewards

Further upgrading the Delivery Wagon can be a very important investment, as it insures that the goods sold are closer to their true value than it would be otherwise. The Hunting Wagon is also a very important investment, as it can dramatically improve the capacity for pelts and carcasses that can be brought back to the camp in short amounts of time.

Camp and Supply

The Trader Role is closely linked to the player's camp and it must be pitched in order to make use of the role. There are two types of supply needed for Cripps to produce goods for the Trader Role: materials and supply. The materials must be filled by hunting animals for their pelts and carcasses and donating them at the butcher's table. Supplies must be refilled for every 25 units of goods produced. The player can either go on a mission to resupply Cripps with equipment he needs, or they simply order them for $20.

Meat, skinned animals, and plucked birds cannot be donated. The condition of the pelts and carcasses donated also determines how much Cripps is being supplied, and carcasses yield more supply than pelts.

The location of the camp can greatly influence how long the player takes to hunt resources for donation, all depending if it is set up closer to a spawn point of larger and easy-to-hunt animals. For instance, camps set up in Bayou Nwa have greater chance of being near a spawn point for alligators, which are one of the easiest predators to hunt and whose carcasses and pelts can replenish very fast the materials meter. Also, the closer a player's camp is to their hunting grounds, the easiest it is to avoid crossing with griefers and rival players when coming back.

If for whatever reason the player does not wish to sell them to Gus Macmillan, Cripps is able to make use of slain Legendary Animals that were introduced to Online as part of the Naturalist role update. The carcasses, skins, and other parts harvested from these unique animals contribute significantly more to the raw materials stock than their non-legendary counterparts, but unfortunately do not impact the total value of produced goods.

Profit

The amount of profitability can determined by upgrading the Delivery Wagon, the amount of goods is available for delivery, and which of the two types delivery missions will be undertaken. It takes time for Cripps to produce the goods, so there is a significant wait involved.

There are two types of delivery missions: local and distant, both of which are timed. Doing local deliveries are generally safer as the destination is not too far from the camp. Doing distant deliveries is more profitable, offering more than an additional twenty percent of the local delivery profit. However, doing long distance deliveries can be daunting. One such example of such a long route would be from a camp pitched in the Heartlands within New Hanover leading all the way to a small shack along the San Luis River, at the southern end of Hennigan's Stead within New Austin.

Again, the location of the camp when starting deliveries can also greatly influence the success of the delivery. For example, if the player has their camp pitched in a certain area within the Heartlands, the player can make a bee-line for the destination instead of travelling on the roads, taking advantage of the Heartlands' predominantly flat landscape.

If the wagon is destroyed, the player can still sell a significant portion of the remaining product, which must be collected from the wreckage.

Hey there, cowboy. This article looks a little bit small.
I reckon you could impress me by contributing to it. Don't be shy now.
