Becoming a good trader?

[GARdian]

This isn't about performing an individual trade so much as asking how would I go about being a trader as my main playing experience. I'd mostly like to travel to settlements and trade between them. What's the best way to go about this before I go and commit a massive blunder?

Not sure how this works, but I doubt people would trust you running around with their valuable items, not to mention you'll never get any LP

Obviously, there's a period of acquiring start up capital and the basic skills needed to actually perform the job. Just want to know what's the best way to go about that when I'm overcome by wanderlust and such.

It could be fun, but I can't see it being lucrative at all. As a loaner rolling up to someones walls offering to trade them anything worth having you'd probably be laughed off almost as often as you were attacked.

Gathering supplies that would be in major need? Determine the changes made in each new world and use them to your advantage. Such as mining supplies at the beginning of this world probably would have been really worthwhile. Plaice fish are always something to the right person especially if they just started a new character. Certain foods, etc. etc.

Dig around the forums, especially the announcements section and determine what people are most craving and fit their needs.
