Merchant is one of the best Brighter Shores professions, and you can earn many rewards for it. You’ll need to level up quickly by optimizing your routes to get a Merchant Cape. Leveling this profession is about finding the best items to trade and the fastest paths to each destination. This guide will show you how to max out Merchant quickly.
How to Unlock Merchant Profession
You have to complete and unlock Crenopolis to get into the Merchant profession. After this episode, you can unlock Watch Person, Detective, and Leather Worker. Once you obtain the Merchant profession, you’ll need to focus on continuously picking up jobs and bounties.
Fastest Leveling Routes
The idea here is to take any of the following items when available and deliver them once you’ve accepted all available and allowed bounties. You can optimize your routes to each destination using RouteFinder, which calculates the time needed to get from one point to another. Here are the best items or bounties to take per level:
