Trade works so the farther you travel, the more money you make. Here are some tips &c.
The farm outside the city has some harvestable trees, and the wood there sells for a good price in the city (about 50 profit per unit) - though these two locations are close together - the selling price for wood at the farm is very low, meaning less workers - and there are only a few harvestable trees there - so it wont last long.
Buying iron at the mine and selling at the fort or village will actually have you break even - you wont gain or lose any money - these runs are primarily for faction workers. The iron route from the monestary however will yield a large profit to one of these locations - even larger for the full run to the city. The lower iron prices in the monestary are counterbalanced with safety, the attraction of more traders... and perhaps the greedy lure of more valuable ores. |
