Beginner's guide to trading in France

What is France?
France is a unique country.

First, its territory is divided into two segments, a north and a south one (This can be give both pros and cons!).

Secondly, it’s located in West Mediterranean (One of the best trading regions).

Thirdly, the distance between the trading post, restaurant, port, and guild is very close.

What is good job for a trader?
I recommend fabric seller or accountant:

1. Fabric seller (favored skills: alert, sewing, fiber trading, fabric trading, dye trading, accounting)

It is reasonable to say that 'France is fabric', since fabric was almost universally produced among all of France’s cities.

However, to a beginner fabric is expensive andit also yields very little, so you shouldn’t focus on it right away.

2.Accountant (favored skills: metaltrading, luxuries trading, sewing, investment, alcohol trading, accounts)

Marseille,the capital of France allows you to get luxuries trading (walnuts,prunes) and alcohol trading (wine, brandy).

This job also has sewing, which isn’t much of a beginner skill, but can be used with feathers. However I'm going to keep the details on this for myself.

Once you get to a really high level, using metal trading can become quite lucrative.

How do I change profession?
In Marseille’s merchant guild, you will receive the quest 'The first labor from the guild' (the name might not be right).

Once you finish the quest, you can change your profession, from probationary employee to advanced one.

As you know, in this game, you are able to switch your profession at any time (however it’s of course not free).

Suggested trade routes:
1. Marseille↔Montpellier

2. Feather plucking

3. Marseille - Genova - Pisa- Calvi
