Quick travel for trading - how?

Post by Sevenless »

I'm sure there's a guide somewhere I haven't found, but how is it done? I'm in desperate need of wheat/hemp seeds (of course I've managed to find luxuries like tea and tobacco, but not some of the very useful staples) but I'm rather tentative to post until I know how the trading travel thing works. Do note, I've found my location on the big map :)

Well you can use a crossroads or alt trade. Both require two claims

Make a trade alt, have the other person add you that alt to their village. Break your alts hearthfire and have them return to village with the goods. Trade alt makes the trade, then leaves their village and rejoins your village, returning to your village with the spoils. This is far more expensive and time consuming than just finding some WWWs or bugging your immediate neighbors for some seeds.

Well the only thing I can say is when attempting to trade give a coordinate (not your own!) you'd be willing to meet at for trade. Then make a trade alt, put stuff in a boat, sail to the coord and wait.
