==Consumable Quality==
 +
 
 +
The quality of items your businesses produce is determined by generating a number between 1 and 100(ish) for each generated item. If the end number is between 1 and 25, it's the lowest quality. 26-50 is the next highest quality, etc. Due to bonuses, the max number that is generated could be slightly over 100, so anything over 75 is the highest quality.
 +
 
 +
First, a number between 1 and 50 is randomly generated. Then you add 5 for each profession level you have in the profession for that business. Then add any other bonuses to quality (from business upgrades or city bonuses).
 +
 
 +
'''Quality''' = (random number between 1 and 50) + (5 x profession level) + (business bonuses) + (city bonuses)

''Available by investing in the Farmer profession.''

Farmers can buy Farm houses and nine fields per farm house. Farms can grow crops, which have no function other than to be sold for profit. After the crops are grown, they sit in the field waiting for you to harvest and sell them. No profit will be received until the crops are sold and no new farming can be done until they are cleared out.
 +

Below is a list of crops, profession level required to grow them, grow time, and profit.

Step 1: Buy a Shipping Office and Ships. There are different kinds of ships with different benefits and abilities.
 
Step 2: Select the destination you wish for one of your ships to sail to from the list of available destinations (depends on the range of your boat). The amount of time the trip will take will be displayed (based on trip distance and boat speed).
 
Step 3: Select which good you want to take to that destination from the list of available (3 local goods plus any goods that others have delivered/brought back and haven't been used yet). Estimated profit will be displayed based on the current market conditions.
 
Step 4: Select which good you want to bring back from that destination from the list available (only the 3 goods that are from that destination). Estimated profits based on the current market conditions.
 
Step 5: Your total estimated profits based on the current market conditions will be displayed. Market prices will vary based on changes in the amount of the goods you are trading in your origin and destination city. Actual profits will be determine when you collect from the haul of your trip.

The values in the table are a per barrel price. The number of barrels a ship can hold is determined by it's cargo size. So a work boat would can carry 10 barrels of Oil from Tear to Illian, while a Seanchan Ship can carry 15. More barrels sold equals more profit for you. However, your crew isn't very bright, so you can only haul one kind of good at a time and you always take as much as you can hold. No spliting up your cargo hold.
 
  
Your profit from each trade mission is 1/2 the value of the goods you carried to you destination (-1% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%) + 1/2 the value of the goods you brought back (-1% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%).

Your profit from each trade mission is 1/2 the value of the goods you carried to your destination (-.2% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%) + 1/2 the value of the goods you brought back (-.2% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%).'''
 +
 
 +
The number of barrels a ship can hold is determined by it's cargo size. So a work boat can carry 10 barrels of Grain from Tear to Illian, while a Seanchan Ship can carry 15. More barrels sold equals more profit for you. However, your crew isn't very bright, so you can only haul one kind of good at a time and you always take as much as you can hold. No splitting up your cargo hold.

There are 7 businesses a player can start if they choose to level-up certain professions. The professions with businesses are merchants, miners, farmers, brewers, cooks, medics, and sailors; each have their own unique business. Three of the businesses (mines, farms, shipping) can only be built in 8 cities (only 1 of these 3 are available per city), and you can only purchase 6 of each type. The other 4 businesses (merchant stalls, kitchen, brewery, herb garden) are available in all cities, but players can still only own 6 of the same type.


Purchasing

All businesses can be purchased from the City Hall in each city, as long as they are available there.

Each business will cost the player 25sm in the first city and will start out with one section out of 9. Each extra section in that city will cost 25 more silver marks than the section before it. (50sm for second section, 75sm for the third, ect) The player also can't have more sections than their level in that profession. In addition, if you own a business of one type in one city, the cost will go up to buy a second business of that type in second city, and again for a third etc.

The table below will show the price increases per city.

Business # Cost

Consumable Quality

The quality of items your businesses produce is determined by generating a number between 1 and 100(ish) for each generated item. If the end number is between 1 and 25, it's the lowest quality. 26-50 is the next highest quality, etc. Due to bonuses, the max number that is generated could be slightly over 100, so anything over 75 is the highest quality.

First, a number between 1 and 50 is randomly generated. Then you add 5 for each profession level you have in the profession for that business. Then add any other bonuses to quality (from business upgrades or city bonuses).

Quality = (random number between 1 and 50) + (5 x profession level) + (business bonuses) + (city bonuses)

Step 1: Buy a Shipping Office and Ships. There are different kinds of ships with different benefits and abilities.
Step 2: Select the destination you wish for one of your ships to sail to from the list of available destinations (depends on the range of your boat). The amount of time the trip will take will be displayed (based on trip distance and boat speed).
Step 3: Select which good you want to take to that destination from the list of available (3 local goods plus any goods that others have delivered/brought back and haven't been used yet). Estimated profit will be displayed based on the current market conditions.
Step 4: Select which good you want to bring back from that destination from the list available (only the 3 goods that are from that destination). Estimated profits based on the current market conditions.
Step 5: Your total estimated profits based on the current market conditions will be displayed. Market prices will vary based on changes in the amount of the goods you are trading in your origin and destination city. Actual profits will be determined when you collect from the haul of your trip.
Step 6: Click the button that says 'Sail' to have your ship start the trade.


A single trade mission is taking a good from your city of origin(where you built your shipping office), sailing to another city to sell it and buy a good from there, then returning to your origin to sell it as well. No multiple stop trips. Just point A to point B and back. The farther the distance traveled, the more value your trade mission will have. The table below shows the distances between each port city.

Each Shipping City has 3 goods that can be traded. Each good has the same base price, but the price is affected by the number of each good in the destination city. The table below shows the goods available in each city.

Origin Good 1 Good 2 Good 3
Mayene Oil Ivory Silk
Tear Grain Olives Spices
Illian Gold Bars Fish Honey
Ebou Dar Alum Ore Wool Fabric
Tanchico Dyes Fireworks Wine

Demand = (100 - (number of product already in city / 5)) / 100 (If demand would be less than .5, demand = .5)

Product travel value = ((distance between destination and source of product - (distance between business location and source of product/2))/50

Item worth = ( Product travel value ) x (size of ships hold) x (demand) x 60cp

Total trade plan value = Item worth of delivered item + Item worth of received item.

Your profit from each trade mission is 1/2 the value of the goods you carried to your destination (-.2% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%) + 1/2 the value of the goods you brought back (-.2% for each barrel of that good that already is in the city; up to 50%).

The number of barrels a ship can hold is determined by it's cargo size. So a work boat can carry 10 barrels of Grain from Tear to Illian, while a Seanchan Ship can carry 15. More barrels sold equals more profit for you. However, your crew isn't very bright, so you can only haul one kind of good at a time and you always take as much as you can hold. No splitting up your cargo hold.
