As a trader, the idea is to buy low and sell high. I understand that the best way to do this is to buy in one realm and sell in another. I believe this is because a realms banker can readjust food as needed between regions within a realm, thus reducing the need for a trader.
It seems at first as if the world supports two commodities - food and wood. In practice, however, it appears as if wood is so plentiful and consumed so little as to make it nearly useless as a trading commodity. That leaves food.
What is most important for a trader is information concerning food sources and food destinations. The tools for finding this information are: 1. Actions -> Chatting with local merchants 2. Actions -> Trading in the Market place 3. Orders -> Send out Scouts 4.
