Traders are all about making money, pure and simple. The Guild rules the transportation business with an iron fist, and through contract work and playing the commodities markets, a Trader earns (or loses) his fortune.
Perhaps the most (in)famous figure among Traders was Arnile Hanskwin, Syndic of the Trader's Guild. He was known for his desire to come up with more and more devious ways to combat the efforts of those who would steal from a trader. He was especially inventive when it came to designing new trap varieties.

Guild Abilities
Pack Animals & Caravans
Traders can rent pack animals or caravans to transport goods between guild outposts. These can also be used to help drag the corpses of fallen adventurers more effectively.
Commodity Trading
Only Traders have access to the commodities market, allowing them to speculate on price fluctuations between cities and provinces. Currently there are only three working commodity pits in Elanthia: Crossing, Arthe Dale, and Leth Deriel.
Market Advantages
Traders receive a better price when selling gems, and may sell in bulk for extra convenience.
Trader's Also have a bonus on selling bundles of animal pelts.
Auction Halls & Markets
Only Traders may set up shop in an auction hall or market, allowing for convenient sales to other adventurers.
Gem Shop Financing
Traders of 50th circle or higher can finance remote gem shops, including gem shops in Horse Clan, Rossman's Landing, Throne City, and M'riss. To finance a gem shop ask the clerk about FINANCE. To retrieve your sales ask the clerk about SALES. The purpose is to make a profit from the sales and to earn a significant amount of trading skill when reselling the gem pouches received from the financing.
