Merchant Quests !

benja, perhaps it wont drop the value in the near future, but most these suggestions are meant for improving the game in the long run... And I dont think the gemstones value is high enough as it is. I have like 2 or 3 gemstones and I can't even trade each for 4 sards, best offer I got was 3, now think about it, is 3 sards per gemstones that expensive? If you increase the amount of gemstones on a regular basis, like with quest, how low will the price go? 2 sards per gemstones?

getting sgm costs 8 gems from each nation yes, but 1 dbl g5 only costs 11 gemstones each. and near future as in a month for example will drop the value dramaticly cuz 15*30 is 450 gemstones each month not to mention that there's tons of ppl getting merchant aswell during that same month. it's a lot more then the 1 gemstone a day that drops from mobs

still think its a good idea. 1 gemstone a day won't ruin gemstones value

I got merchant the hard way (doing almost all daily quests everyday). Now that I'm merchant, it's very very easy to make any other char merchant. 5-75 quests are easy since GM chars can get materials so easily. For dailys, all I need to do is do the 20 item delivery quest for 25 days and I have another merchant. If I want, I can do it as much as I want. Most people only bother getting their main char as merchant because there's no real benefits to being merchant other than whispering other nations and merchant board. A lot of people I know have 3+ miner/butchers to get easy sards. If a reward such as gemstones is given for merchants, people will make 3+ merchants each to do the quest. So if it's 3 gemstones per day for 30 days, that's 90 gemstones per month and it goes up from there.

There's so few merchants now because there's not a lot of benefits to being a merchant. I know people with 10 GM miner/butcher chars but isn't merchant. They rather spend the time to get GM miner/butcher because that's rewarding whereas spending time to do jobs that only give leaf of blessed is a waste of time.
