Trade goods questions

[Canis Lupus]

Hey guys
So I'm looking to invest in a province to develop institutions in India and my most valuable trade goods are gems, paper, glass and silk. My questions are these:
Are there any events that lower the value of these trade goods?
Are there any events that increase the value of these trade goods?
In what order would you rank these in terms of being valuable to develop? Is a higher trade value/price always more valuable than a lower trade value, or do the bonuses of the trade goods make one with a lower value better to develop?

Yes, all of them

Usually higher price = more worthwhile to develop

Paper gets more expensive at one point and I believe gems and glass go lower in the end. Silk stays the same I guess.

In some cases, you could develop a lower one because you are able to get the production/trade bonus (like cotton for instance) since eventually money you will have plenty off.

Being Hindu = Vaysha estate

Vaysha estate loyal (60%) = -20% development cost in provinces they own (NOT national modifier)

Besides that its best to do in farmland. Clothes give another bonus to cost.

Gems go down to 3 pretty fast, Paper first goes up but a bit down later on.

Cloth doesnt go up much and it takes quite a while but gives -10% development cost. Same with cotton, just that it gives more later on.

Besides that paper and silk have the highest prices

Gem will go down to 3.00 pretty fast. Paper will go up to 5.25 a t some point, silk will also go up to 5.

Use the search function to get all events for the trade goods in question.


However, as said, choosing a province to develop just based on its trade good is probably not worth it.
You want a province with Development cost reduction (Farmland, Center of Trade, State with Prosperity, ...). Cloth and Cotton also give dev cost reduction.
