I am doing a dedicated trader playthrough this time and I am wondering which perks work best.
BTW not a fan of the mandatory choice between two perks.
Apraisser vs Whole Seller:
Appraiser
15% decrease in sell price penalty for equipments.
Your profits are marked.
Whole Seller
15% decrease in sell price penalty for trade goods.
Your profits are marked.
As a trader I choose Whole Seller. But the amount of loot after battles makes me think that a bonus to selling equipment in the long run is way more profitable.
Caravan Master vs Market Dealer:
Caravan Master
Party can carry 30% more weight.
Mark item prices relative to average price.
Market Dealer:
Your shop have 20% less upkeep.
Mark item prices relative to average price.
Does the Caravan Master perk only apply to your weight limit or also to your caravans?
At to moment I cannot check in-game, but what is the average upkeep for a workshop and is the 20% reduction a good investment?
Traveling rumors VS Local connection
Traveling rumors:
Your caravans gather trade rumors.
15% decrease in buy price penalty from villages.
Local connection:
Your workshops gather trade rumors.
15% decrease in sell price penalty for Animals.
I think both options are ok. Is there a big difference between the trade rumors? I assume that if you pick up items at a town where you have a workshop, you can benefit directly from a good rumor related to the finished product.
Any advice on the way to go as a trader?
