A particularly grumpy looking Dwarf approaches. Without fanfare, he says, "You match our records as a member of the Traders' Guild. The local leadership sent me to inform you that new financing opportunities are available at the Aesry furrier as well as Tominessa's near the North Roads Caravansary. If you're interested, you should seek out the furriers and inquire about financing. There's also an investment board in the Crossing guildhall to show opportunities." He turns and starts walking away before stopping once more. With his back still to you, he says, "Happy profits and such." Then he's simply gone.
Hello!
The updates to the Trader-financed furrier mechanics are now live in Prime; Plat got them last week. Up to 10 traders can finance a single outpost, now. When one trader's funds run out, the shop will automatically move on to the next. If no traders are financing, the shop will try to use its own funds. When those are depleted, a short time for them to secure a loan (or for a trader to invest) will pass before they are re-funded. An unfunded outpost will not purchase from anyone.
Currently two outposts were updated for it -- Tominessa's (NTR) and Willowbee's (Aesry). More outposts will be coming. The current two require the financing trader to be a citizen of the area (Zoluren and Aesry respectively). There are no plans to change this right now, but SOME future outposts (such as Fang Cove's) will be able to be funded by anyone without citizenship requirements.
NOTE: Please be aware -- the Aesry outpost is difficult to get to. If you have a POC, you cannot rent kregkeirels anymore. I'd advise against POC owners going for the Aesry outpost for now. There are plans to resolve this, but no ETA or details to share yet.
If you guys run into any problems, please let us know.
