I have tried this with regular caravans for multiple hours before discovering that you can just sell your goods into the goods trader inventory and increase your profit margin. Be aware: The Great Trader achievement’s status progress is broken but works regardless. If you spent extra time at the beginning and collect 15 or 20 velvet for your inventory you can speed this process up to 50. The total income counts for this, so you need to load 10x times for the trader and 100x times for the great trader achievement. You should get 10,000 Thaler for your caravan of 10 velvet, with about 8,000 profit. Load the game and let the caravan arrive as many times until you get the trader and great trader achievements. If you do not get this achievement, go back to Step 5. Step 8: After your caravan arrives you should get the Wheeled Merchant achievement (3000 Thaler profit or more). Step 7: Save the game right before you get to the city. This does not count as a cheat for the game, it is just a time saving measure. In general, the longer the travel the higher the price, but that is not always true. This is unique for every game, so you may have to load and try a few different cities. Step 5: Send your caravan to the city that pays at least 1,000 for Velvet. Then select medium caravan for 10 goods (or higher if available). Select Velvet, they should be at about 200 Thaler each. Step 4: Save, then talk to the mayor about trade.

The city does not have to produce the good for this to work. This drives the buying price of that good down for your caravan. Step 3: Once you have 10 Velvet, sell them to the goods trader of a city. Velvet is hard to find but has the highest profit margin after you use market manipulation.

If you stockpile 10 velvet you will get the Velvet Commander achievement as a bonus. Tools, Furs, Oils, Powder, Leatherwork, or any good with a high sale price will work. This works with other goods too but I recommend Velvet. Step 2: Start buying any Velvet you find to stockpile it in your inventory. Tip: If you just started the game you could do a few collect taxes missions and keep the funds as a loan to get your merchant empire started. Step 1: Accumulate 10,000 Thaler and a few points in the trade and inventory management skills. This would disable your ability to get the achievements. We will get three achievements in 30 minutes using market manipulation following these 10 steps:īefore you attempt this, ensure you do not have any cheats activated. A guide to getting all trading achievements in 30 minutes, to include wheeled merchant, trader, and great trader.
