Tips for Trading in the Age of Sail: A Guide to Trading in the Age of Sail Legend

In the legends of the Age of Exploration, sea trade is the main gameplay. If you want to become a great merchant, we must learn how to conduct trade runs. New players just entering the game may not know the routes for trade runs and the selection of goods. Today, I will share my own experience with trade runs in the legends of the Age of Exploration. By referring to my experience, everyone can also summarize their own suitable trade routes and goods for trading.

When we start trade runs in the legends of the Age of Exploration, there are two choices: short-distance trade runs and long-distance trade runs. Short-distance trade runs take less time and are more suitable for players in the novice stage. If you decide to do short-distance trade runs, then we need to first find goods suitable for short-distance trade runs.

The main purpose of choosing short-distance trade runs is to make money in the shortest amount of time. Therefore, the selection of goods becomes crucial. It is recommended that everyone choose high-quality or rarer goods as much as possible. When selling goods, it's also necessary to set an appropriate price.

Long-distance trade runs are more time-consuming. There are many places suitable for long-distance trade runs. If we talk about which place is the most suitable, it would definitely be the three ports of South African Gold and Diamonds. Buying goods from this place for a long-distance trade run can net 300 gold coins in one trip.

If you decide to purchase goods from the three ports of South African Gold and Diamonds during a long-distance trade run, the goods that must be purchased here are gold and diamonds. These two types of goods require the player to unlock them first in places like Abidjan, and then use a level three purchasing book to directly buy them. After obtaining the goods, they can be sold directly in the Mediterranean region.

Apart from this route, there is another good route for long-distance trade runs. You can purchase yellow diamonds and diamonds from St. George and then transport them to Northern Europe for sale, which can also yield good profits. If your funds are limited, you can also buy purple shells from Tunis and then transport them to Italy for sale.

Well, that's all I have to share about my experience with trade runs in the legends of the Age of Exploration. In summary, what we need to do most when conducting trade runs is to specify the trade route, and then choose the right goods. Generally speaking, in our specified trade routes, we will pass through many ports. We can check what the popular goods are at the ports, and as long as there are popular goods, we can directly purchase them.
