Trader
NOTE: The Trader profession is scheduled for a major revamp in Publish 29 (March?) - details will follow as they become available. (12/24/05)
Every Trader has Master Merchant.
Every Trader has the basic surveying ability - Traders just get the extra range & resource collection. You will receive the “Elder” title (awarded in recognition of your status in the game as a valued veteran player) . . . The “Elder” titles are based off of Master Badges that you have earned. Any Master Profession Badge that you currently have will be available to you as an Elder Title. Thunderheart, General FAQ V. 1.2, 11/11
Item decay has been completely removed from the game. Thunderheart, General FAQ V. 1.2, 11/11
In-game items & collectibles that are non-combat related won’t be affected at all. Player housing, vehicles, collectibles, & other items will remain completely intact & transition with your character. Thunderheart, General FAQ V. 1.2, 11/11
There are 3 ways to earn XP: combat, crafting, & social activities. Crafting something will earn you crafting XP. When you have earned enough experience points for a skill within your profession you are granted that skill. Thunderheart, General FAQ V. 1.2, 11/11
You will no longer be learning skills as you develop your character. Instead, you will now be leaning abilities as you progress through your chosen profession path. The same abilities are accessible to all players of a given profession (i.e., only Traders can learn the abilities of shipwright). Thunderheart, General FAQ V1.2, 11/11
You will be able to try each type of Trader if you wish. If you do so, you will use up a respec for each time you select a new profession, even if your choices are different specializations within Trader. Thunderheart, General FAQ V1.2, 11/11
All crafters will keep their current vendors if transitioning to the Trader profession. All Traders will continue to be able to add items to the vendors for sale & sell items from them. However, if you go from a crafting profession & re-allocate your skill points into one of the combat professions, you will lose the ability to sell items from your current vendors (i.e, you keep the items stored but can no longer sell from them). Under the new profession system, only Traders will be able to sell goods & items. Thunderheart, General FAQ V1.2, 11/11
Crafting stations will remain the same. However, only Traders will now be able to use them as they are the only profession now capable of crafting. Thunderheart, General FAQ V1.2, 11/11
