Easy trade packs to run to Hyrania for Gilda Stars?

[stitch]

L20-ish (not exactly 20, in that range) Reaper (I hate my other two will change them later to make a better build, want to level the skills more and get more cash) with Shadowplay as my primary. Any tips for making easy trade packs and running them for Gilda Stars or something else down to Hyrania?

I'm really looking to make enough money to get a merchant vessel.

I have a harpoon clipper.

And a misc. question: Could harpooning to the depths of the sea be a good tactic to avoid pyrates you see around you?

Thanks,
Rhythm

(and I'm on Aranzeb, playing an Elf, and I do not play on Steam yet, going to finish DL and stop using Glyph, Glyph is worse than Origin)

Afraid to say you'll stll be using Glyph to some degree, but with the functionality of the Steam overlay when in-game. That being said, wouldn't trading to Freedich be more profitable for gilda? Haven't really bothered working on getting those up.

What is Freedich?

I'm a 23 now so I don't have a large knowledge of the game, yet.

Freedich is in the center of Arcadian Sea. Bring friends to lower risk of being ganked, IE They die instead of you when trying to turn in. I Don't recommend it unless you are doing a large guild run for protection.

Ah, okay.

Freedich Island is an island in the center of the sea.

On that island is a gilda star trader and a resource trader. The Gilda Star trader gives you 4 gilda if the pack is from Solzreed to there, and I'd imagine more if it's from further inland. You'll always get more Gilda than if you turned in at Ynystere, Solis Headlands or Villanelle.

The problem currently is the fact that it's in the middle of the sea, and as we know there's sea-bugs and jellyfish that exist. That and there's pirates and players from the other faction. So there's a bit of a risk traveling out there, especially since houses are still there.

The upcoming Dead Prophecies update removes the housing on the island (so that people can't teleport there as they please), and a gold trader will periodically spawn there trading 20g for packs (since a good chunk of that update focuses on things involving the sea to encourage people to go out in it more). But for Gilda, Freedich is the most profitable turn-in.
