Level up trading

[MineVoid]

Is there a way to level up trading quick enough? I've been doing long distance trade runs, and I haven't leveled up from it.

Do dailies. They give more role xp

Also make sure you do the resupply missions instead of paying for them. For starters it seems that you can get more plus you can get a nice mats bonus. Once you get your wagon then the whole role changes and you will lvl up incredibly fast. But as mentioned, do your daily challenges as well.

If you really care about XP over cash, you can always do deliveries with only one good. You get way less cash but the same XP. Personally, I don't think that that's worth it, but you do get way more cash per good once you're able to get the medium and large delivery carts, and the hunting cart helps as well - all of which require ranking up in trader, though they also require a lot of cash or gold. So, favoring XP over cash wouldn't necessarily get you those carts sooner.

Either way, you definitely should be doing resupply missions. Paying to resupply does save you time, but it costs you cash and results in you getting less XP. It also loses you the chance to get loot, since on several resupply missions, you end up taking out enemies that either provide useful pelts or cash and items. If you have the collector role, and they drop collectibles, then you might even ultimately make more cash from looting than skipping the resupply run would have cost you. Also, the resupply run typically gives you 5 - 20 materials in addition to the supplies, meaning that you'll get more goods with less hunting.

I always do the resupply missions. I never pay to get them.

Also help others with their delivery missions and resupply missions. You get XP and money for just helping escort. There is no downside for someone to have more people help with their delivery. More protection. The XP/Money isn't shared, it is a fixed amount for each player. The owner gets the most, and the helper gets about half as much.

For instance, the long distance 100/100 supply mission the owner gets ~$600 for delivering it whether or not they have help. If you help you then also get around 1200 xp and $312. Great way to make money too.

There is a red dead redemption discord server where you can associate your user to certain roles and on what platform. Makes it easy for finding people who are doing supply missions, Good discussions and helpful info. I've found various good people to play with for Trading, Bounty Hunter, etc.

You can find it here at this reddit pinned topic:

You get around 312 trader XP for making the best stew, something to consider, if you make one everytime you login, it adds up

thats how i got to 10, only a couple of trader runs and dropping in the odd animals parts now and then.

Yeah I don’t have any friends to play with either. I’ve been doing the supply missions but some of them are too hard for a new player like myself. Sometimes I get killed in the process. One of the missions I had to board a train with several bandits around me. If anyone would like to play feel free to add me. My rockstar name is boshedo23. Or else you can add me on steam. I don’t mind helping people with their missions. You scratch my back I’ll scratch yours.
