Caravan Trading is going to be for all of our merchants out there. We hear you, and we're designing a system that will allow you to live as a merchant inside Ember Sword. You'll be risking your life, but the rewards will be worth it, and your fellow players will thank you for your duty!
The process is planned to work as follows - acquire the valuable resources unique to your home nation and launch a caravan trade from the nearest city, across the dangerous Outlaw Territories into foreign nations to sell your resources to other players at a profit. Naturally, this is a gameplay mechanic that will only be available once multiple nations are live.
Without a central worldwide marketplace for in-game resources, players from foreign nations will be eager to buy them from travelling merchants, and with limited inventory space, a caravan trade is going to be your most efficient way to move large quantities of goods and turn a profit as a merchant. But the slow caravans will make you an easy target for thieves hiding in the Outlaw Territories, so teaming up with your friends and allies to protect you on your journey is highly advisable.
