Distance = bonus sale

[Fatum]

Does this apply to distance of the trade route you make (connected nodes) or physical distance between the 2.

I currently can do one of two things. Bring my trade around, almost full circle so that I can quickly go between the two and get big bonus with little travel.

Or

If it's physical distance go the opposite way. To the other corner.

Air-Distance between the 2 Nodes.

It's 3% per node along the way. So for max profit, you want the longest distance. For most effective leveling, you want to go in a circle.

[Fatum]

Lol..so one answer for each of the two possibilities ●_●

[AlnilamE]

Well, you can buy something in Velia, for example, and then go along the road to Heidel, stopping at Bartali farm and Balenos Forest and see what the increase in the bonus is.

I'll check tonight if my fish sell for more at Eph..whatever (I'm still learning names) or mustang most inland node. Tho its barely different distance wize

[Smaxx]

The XP only scales on the number of items sold. The money earned depends on the distance. So if you want to money, travel far. If you want to earn XP, travel short.

[Fatum]

Lol... but what is far. That's the question. I'm not even worried about xp.

I'm trying to learn if it's based on physical distance or number of nodes between.

You're asking for the intricate mechanics of it... i wouldn't do this.

What you need to do, is figure out how much Trader X pays a bonus for goods from trade Y. There are spreadsheets out there with this info.

Yes, i understand the quesiton that you're asking... and its a no. the first thing i tried to test the mechanics, was Western Garrison to Hiedel. One route was to the east, longer, and the other south. both were the same bonus from the hiedel merchant.

So no, whatever ideas you had about making some ridiculous node pathing, wont work.

Don't get me wrong, its good to be clever, theres some OP ♥♥♥♥ i would have never figiured out without thinking outside the box... but this sadly isnt a thing.

thx for info
