Profession Overview[]

A Merchant is skilled at advertising and selling wares through a vendor. At the Novice Merchant skill level, the player earns the ability to place a NPC vendor of a random playable race. The Merchant also has the ability to place control vendors one at a time.

This profession requires 42 skill points to master, 29 of which go towards prerequisites.

XP requirements to master, including prerequisites:

Merchant XP is granted for operating vendors, as well as placing access fees on structures. For each hour a vendor is active, 50 pts of XP is earned. This amount does not update until a character interacts with the vendor. A character interacting with your vendor (restricted to once every 15 minutes for all of the merchant's vendors) grants 50 XP as well. Also, each time a character pays the access fee for a structure, 50 XP is earned.
