Numbahs not really your thing, Vagrus? Don't worry, I gotchu.


Now if managing your wealth really is your bread and butter, see below for trading profitability figures by settlement.

Author's note: Acherus Quarry produces Obsidian. The open marketplace price for Obsidian is lower at Drusian Quarry, however additional research is needed to identity any trading opportunities granted through House Darius. This location is House Darius level 4.

Profitability is calculated from the buy/sell prices only, and does not consider the cost of supplies. Please use your own judgement regarding most profitable routes for your personal comitatus.


Faction Routes
Faction trading is conducted in full stacks of items, and requires the minimum faction rank indicated. Profit is calculated using the minimum faction price. Better pricing can be negotiated using faction reputation points, increasing overall route profit. Faction prices do not fluctuate based on the supply present in the town market or the volume traded, making them much more profitable for a large well-established comitatus.

Author's note: Ash doesn't produce goods. A stronghold of House Darius, it primarily trades in slaves. Limited food supplies. You will be most likely stopping here enroute to/from Avernum, Deven or The Crimson Gate

Author's note: This location is pretty far off the beaten path. You'll most likely be travelling here for story purposes, or to buy cheap Salt. Limited supplies.

Author's note: One of the four major cities. Avernum has small amounts of metal available at reasonable prices. With the notable exception of Grain which is in demand, no sale prices really stand out as profitable at Avernum's open market.

Author's note: Scrap metal, and all four types of ingots are available in limited quantities from this location. I'm not going to post trading guidance given the limited quantities, but you could transport these goods to most other nearby settlements to the west for great profit. Metal is generally NOT desired at all three quarries (Acherus, Drusian or Ioscian), and profits are lowest at Kernak Waystation. Silver in particular is not desired at these four locations, plus Crystal and The Twin Towers.

*Fort Viridium quartermaster only purchases Chitin in one full stack of 20, every in-game 25 days.

Author's note: Another small settlement at the far western edge of the map. Excellent destination for a comitatus trekking from any of the major towns with high prices for all luxury goods. Bring adequate protection from things that try to eat you in the desert enroute. Fairly limited profitable outbound routes though. Nothing to either of the two other towns in close vicinity.

Author's note: Remote location south of Larnak. Trade opportunities accessible with rumor Giants in the Hills


*Time gated every 10 days
**Time gated every 25 days

The lowest price I've found so far for Grain is The Crimson Gate, Dried Fruit is Mirage & Salt is open market at Salum or purchasing it from one of the factions in Salum or Mines of Plenty. Meanwhile, the highest price for Scrap Metal is also The Crimson Gate. A really savvy Vagrus could grab 3 Salt from Salum, a couple stacks of Grain (20/stack) from The Crimson Gate, a stack or two of Mushrooms from Tor'zag's Shelter, 8 Dried Fruit from Mirage, exchange it all for Scrap Metal here and haul it back to sell at The Crimson Gate for an absolute killing.

This bandit outpost is rather off the beaten path, and the location for main story quest The Trouble with Fort Larius. As an outlaw fort, they will buy contraband goods such as Bogweed, Obsidian Blades, Dragonbone & Dragonsteel. Dragonsteel in particular sells for a spectacular 57 bross apiece, the highest sale price in the nearby area without risk of smuggling repercussions. This location does not produce any items, so I won't be providing profit guidance for trade routes, however they'll buy mushroom beer at decent price, so bring some if you happen to be trekking out for quest purposes.

Author's note: Ioscian Quarry has very limited food supplies available for purchase and is several days away from other towns by road. Destination recommended only for small, highly mobile comitati without beasts of burden, or larger comitati capable of heavily augmenting supplies through hunting/foraging.

Author's note: sister city to nearby Eitrar. Kotrar makes Dyes & Ivory.

Author's note: One of the four major cities. Beginner comitatus, beware things that try to eat you enroute across the desert. ~300 battle power is advisable in this locale unless you make the trek very early in the game.

Author's note: Remote but has plentiful cheap Supplies. The Last Oasis doesn't produce any goods in bulk and has unusually low sell prices for a lot of items including metal & all luxury goods excluding Linen. Linen and Grain are the only reasonably profitable trade goods that an inbound comitatus might want to sell here. This location will purchase contraband goods, but even those sale prices are unprofitably low.

Author's note: Mirage is a good destination for a beginner comitatus as it has plentiful, cheap supplies and profitable prices for trade goods coming from just about every nearby settlement. If you do not have a heat-shielding crystal, make sure that you do not step on any nodes in or bordering a crystal forest enroute across the desert, or your crew might die.

Author's note: A small outpost that stocks nothing but Supplies, Mushroom Beer & Mushrooms. It's out of the way enough that you'd only really stop there when enroute between Deven & Avernum, and Deven also supplies Mushroom Beer & Mushrooms. Be careful when selling as demand is non-existent for most items. Omphalat Outpost will only purchase Ivory, Linen, Oil & Wine at profitable prices. Anything else would suffer heavy losses.

*Faction price offered for Mushroom Beer by Loaders' Guild lvl 1 at a minimum of 3 bross, 3 lyrg per stack. This is generally higher than the open marketplace.

Author's note: This location does not produce any goods in sufficient quantity at the open marketplace to justify an outbound trade route. However, the location is a faction stronghold for House of Darius, and the Church of Sergorod, which may open additional options for more advanced players.

Author's note: one of four Sadirar tribe villages. Not terribly noteworthy from a trading perspective. Nothing profitable to Avernum. Most profitable connection nearby is to Ash.

Author's Note: Velarias is home to a wraith colony. Sell them fresh meat for their consumption (a corpse pile from Deven, a mount, or if you're really playing amoral, a slave), and contraband goods can be freely traded in their open market.

Author's note: one of four Sadirar tribe villages in the area. Produces Dyes, Grain, Herbs & Pottery.
