Trade Routes
To maximize gold income you will have to find trade partners that meet 2 requirements:


 * 1) Each trade will generate the maximum gold per trade (as  of 522.3 this is 30 gold).
 * 2) Your trade partner will need to have compatible trades

This information can be found in the Trade Routes section of the market menu

The Income column will show how much gold is generated per trade. The higher the number, the more gold you get per trade.

The Ships column will populate over time (usually 1-2 hours) as more ships start trading. This is how you can judge the compatibility of trade partners. The more ships you have the higher your income/hr.

Tips and tricks


 * It is not always better to go with a higher income trade. If you have a trade route with income 30 gold but only 5 ships, your trade partners market is not set up to trade with your market. You will make more profit/hr if you had a 20 gold trade route with 20 ships.

Trade Offers
You can use trade offers to get resources delivered to your warehouse without having to manually collect and ship the resources, however this can impact your gold income.

To maximize gold income, your trade offers should meet 2 requirements:


 * 1) What you are trading should be stuff you farm plus select stuff we all get through trade (or SWAG)
 * 2) You should be trading the resources you farm with your farmhouse for the generic equivalent (eg. Copper for Metal)   Note : The trade menus generic equivalent does not mean trade copper for generic metal only. It actually means trade copper for any other metal that is on offer from your trade partners, including the generic equivalent.

SWAG:

SWAG are resources that are generated randomly in your warehouse from trading. You need to have active ships (in the trade menu) for the resources to generate. Since it is randomized, there is no guaranteed rate. It can take 24 hrs for a well set up market to get all the SWAG.

The list of SWAG only includes tradable items.

 * Darkwood
 * Ironwood

The Generic Trade:

Generic trading is the act of trading your specific type of wood for any other wood available on the market (offered by your trade partners)

Important: There are very specific SWAG trades that have value. Wood trade SHOULD NOT be set up with SWAG woods you do not farm. If you do this, your SWAG woods will be drained from you warehouse.



When starting out, trade all the resources you farm on your island with the generic equivalent (eg.

After a few hours of actively trading, you should be able to set up other offers including SWAG

List of offers using SWAG:

Note: The order is not random. Please follow these trade offers precisely for the best results.

Iridium Ingot for Silver Ingot and Silver Ingot for Iridium Ingot

Diamond for generic gems

Emerald for generic gems

Ruby for generic gems

Tips and tricks

As of patch 522.3, it is no longer possible to set up trade routes for the same resources (eg. 1 iron traded for 1 iron)

You can make a maximum of 20 trade offers. You should always aim to max out your trade offers at all times. They can be updated any time as require.

If you have a good supply of resources you do not farm on your island from someone you're trading with, you can set that resource up for trading
