Trading

[TheNewTeddy]

I'm having some difficulty finding information on trading. Some of the FAQs have some very basic information on possible "trade routes" but I'm looking for an actual trading guide.

Does one exist that I'm missing, or, do I need to make one myself

If it's for money/advantage for Gordon, I just don't care since all you need is buy Ancient Text in Kobold Village and sell them at Forest Village.. Trading also to buy few things like bath items..

The only important thing is it's similar to rare finds that the items you want to buy can be unavailable so you need reset the game...

Well some people used to say that you could sell the crystal ball up to 30 000potch at the kobold village, if you keep trading correctly(and with some luck I guess). But I really don't know if that's actually possible.

So yeah, we're definitly missing some good faqs on that subject.

Crystal Ball is typically closer to buying for 100 and selling for 6000 (i don't recall the exact numbers but the Trading guides will have it). Ancient Text definitely has a much higher profit, but I focus on these two because you can go between Forest and Kobold Villages for both, not just Ancient Text.

...yea none of that is what I'm looking for Does anyone mind if I use this thread to help organize myself while I prepare my own FAQ on the subject? Ideally I wont write until I've played the game though once before

I already have some Forrest Village prices.
Sug 128
Sal 621
Fur 505
Cry 337
Flu 363
Hol 699
Win 999
Doo 735
Nat 1198
Boo 3503
Anc 23329
Vase 4462
Wid 3169

Alls I need to do is to gather price points - the more the better - from all trading outposts, as well as the distances and such, and I can use that as a base for writing a manual. It would give prices at which to buy and at which to sell every good.

Prices also have ranges and changed randomly with Rare Finds mechanics (reset on fixed time)

You can finde some info here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/198844-suikoden-ii/faqs/4776

Even though the prices vary depending on the quantity of the item in stock and maybe some random factor, too.

I already have a lot more info on prices. I know they change, I want to get a dozen or so values for each item in each place.
