Guide to Trading
All credit goes to Mari!
Beginning
I found commodity trading to be one of the most profitable end game activities, while I never quite grasped how Capital stocks worked, commodites have set prices so they are a lot easier to deal with. Commodities have a limited supply and it replenishes as you sell products on your own shop, there a little “Commodities +1” popup in the corner when the amount available has gone up.
Supply Chain Quests
Completing these quests will make the cost of buying a specific commodity from a certain character to go down (note: they will not pay you for the commodities you hand over for this quest).

Some Other Stuff
- This is just some fun things you can do, I will leave it here since this game has little information about it available around the internet, feel free to skip it.
- Bring at least 2 fire to the tunnel connecting Enterpriston to Castle Marx and interact with the candles, that will allow you to access the gold vault.
- Buying Magnolia’s coop and the Auction House unlocks additional sidequests (as of the time I’m writing this I’m not far enough into the game to know if any other properties do that).
- You can give coffee (the cheap one from Tutetown) to one of the Homeless Veterans in the sewers (no reward as far as I know, just a nice thing you can do).
- Run in the opposite direction from the rats runnning in circles in the sewers to get a new accessory.
- Once you finish the train section, talk to the lady in the bus stop outside Enterpriston to tell her the train is running and gain one generosity.
- When you have other characters in your party (ex: Odina, Elora, the Artist, etc) you can see their stats and equipped items in the menu, they all have unique stats and equipment with their own descriptions, there’s no practical use for this I just thought it was cool.
