Transporting

The sum

You buy in city A, carry the goods to city B and sell. What you keep:

sale − purchase − tax − setup fees − trip costs − expected losses

With Premium the sales tax is 4% (8% without), and listing on a sell order adds a 2.5% setup fee; selling into a buy order skips the setup fee. That puts the minimum gap at about 4.2% for an instant sale and 7% for a listing with Premium, before trips and risk. How to flip items has the full break-even table.

What usually moves

• Raw resources toward their refining city. Refiners get a +40 production bonus at home, so Martlock buys hide, Lymhurst fiber, Fort Sterling wood, Bridgewatch stone and Thetford ore.
• Refined materials toward crafters. Bars, planks, leather and cloth flow to the city that crafts the items using them: Lymhurst for swords and bows, Bridgewatch for crossbows and plate armor, Martlock for axes and off-hands, Thetford for maces and fire staffs, Fort Sterling for hammers and holy staffs. The focus and RRR guide lists every city's specialties.
