Any chance of getting the volume up on the amount of commods I can buy? It seems silly I can only buy 2 diamonds or 3 purple dyes at times. Thanks in advance.

Heh, I thought this was going to be a really inappropriate suggestion when I read the title. I saw an e between d and s.

What circle is your trader? I don't dabble much in commodities, but when I do it's usually indigo or purple dye- and I can get 10 to 20 or so at a time, depending on how much I feel like buying.

He probably just has the misfortune of arriving after some of the wealthier Traders have run through and cleared out stocks. Commodities are commodities, if they were common, they wouldn't be valuable, and the first to capitalize is the better capitalist.

Oh, of course! You did mention a point, Futility. It also depends on how much of the item is in stock. There have been times when I wanted to get 20 or so flats of Acanth wood and couldn't because that especial commodity pit had run out.

He's circle 67 and only needs 1 type of armor training to get to circle 75.

Also, every time I check my ledger against my caravan the commods are way out of wack; as an example:

Summary - Page 1 - Contracts and Commodities

You have bought the following Commodities:

gold - 4
silver - 4
saffron - 8
papyrus - 5
brass - 4
lead - 40
velvet - 2
myrrh - 15
indigo - 22
barley - 75
wheat - 15
oats - 10
corn - 10
acanth - 15
taffelberries - 35

None

I have no idea how I can loss all this stuff and how do I get it back?

Thanks in advance.

You have bought the following Commodities:

eg, past tense, in the past, previously, you have done in the past, a total of your history.

Currently Loaded: None

Well,
I don't think thats right either because I've been doing commods for a long time( I've completed over 4,300 contracts with crossing alone) and I know I've bought more than what I've listed in my post below and it's not listing everything I've bought. Listed below is from my ledger:

You flip back and forth through the pages of your ledger. After a moments consideration you are certain that you have made a small mint in lirums, a small mint in kronars, or a small mint in dokoras delivering contracted goods.
After a bit more study you are certain that you have made 219457 lirums, 274321 kronars, or 197950 dokoras working the commodity market.

Greets,

Sorry, posted on this yesterday but my machine crashed. This is a known bug that happens with disconnects or crashes. You haven't lost anything, all your contracts were delivered properly, the ledger is just stuck. One of us will get to it and clean it out.
