Cart

A cart is a vehicle that is part of any business and can be purchased for House s or Huts from their respective upgrade menus.

The player is provided with a towable cart with two storage slots, which each hold a stack of up to 10 items. The amount of storage slots and total items per stack can be increased through upgrading the cart. Levels 1 and 2 of the cart must be hauled by a villager or the player.

Upgrades

The cart can be upgraded up to 6 times. Each upgrade increases the storage capacity of the cart, and on the third upgrade, a horse is attached. At this stage, the cart need not be hauled by a person, and the player may send the cart to various marketplaces and perform trades. To have the player move the cart at level 2 or below, select the cart. Next to the picture of the cart is an empty square. Click the square once and choose a villager to drive the cart. Be sure that the cart is selected, not the character, and right click anywhere on the map to make the villager push the cart there.

To remove the driver, click their portrait and click the red circle with a line through it called "Cancel." The character will drop the cart and move without it.

''Note: If you have a character selected who is driving a cart and right click, the character will drop the cart and move. Remember, to move the cart, assign a driver, select the cart, and right click.''

Interacting with Markets

Send the cart to the market. Make sure the cart is selected and has a driver. Click the market in the menu on the far right panel called "Send Cart." A few options will appear, like "Go To," "Offload," and "Offload and Return Home." Select the cart, and the "Nearby Inventory Trading" alert above its storage panel displays which vendor the cart may interact with. If there is nothing above the storage panel, then the cart is not near enough. There is one exception to this rule: the Nearby Inventory Trading for the cart will not display the Military Camp. Instead, select the Military Camp, and your cart will be displayed in the camp's Nearby Inventory Trading.

You only need a driver for carts at the level 2 upgrade and lower. Starting at level 3 upgrade, the cart may interact with markets without a driver.

''Note: When you use the cart to trade with markets, your character DOES receive an incremental Trading skill increase. The amount of the increase is determined by the value of the trade.''

Create Caravan

A caravan may be created when the cart is selected. The benefit of a trade caravan is that a player may sell their goods on a different map. Trade done on a different map means that the goods will sell for a higher price than if they were sold locally.

Caravan Budget: You may set the budget of a caravan so that it may buy goods for you from other maps. There are three slots for common items and three slots for high demand items.

The prices of goods bought off map are set and do not fluctuate. These prices could be more expensive or cheaper than local prices.

Setting the caravan budget to 0 means that the caravan will only sell goods.

Common and High Demand Items: These are constant items that will not change.
