If you have ever traveled from one village to another you may realize that some have lower prices on items and some may have higher. Vendor pricing is usually based on how far the village is from starting areas and how secluded they are. To understand how the vendors price the items there are a few things you need to know:

-Every item has a base price that never changes
-Each village will markup this base price by certain percentages (ex. all starting villages have a 15% markup from the base price)
-Villages that have castles will experience an additional markup (default is +5% EX: the Gludin markup is +15% and +5% of castle tax making it 20%)
-If a castle is controlled by a clan, the castle tax can be increased

The following is the current % markup of items base prices:

Villages	Markup	Castle Tax
Starting Villages	15%	5%
Gludin Village	15%	5%
Floran Village	15%	5%
Gludio Village	15%	5%
Dion Village	15%	5%
Oren Village	15%	5%
Ivory Tower	15%	5%
Hunter's Village	30%	Most expensive location

EX:

	Base Price	Starting	Gludio	Hunter's
Markup	0%	15%	20%	30%
Forest Bow	136,000	156,400	163,200	176,800

Now when you go to sell your items to the shop, the shop will give you 50% of the base price of the item...EX: Forest Bow 136,000a x .5 = 68000a

So why is this information helpful to you?

1. you know which village to buy fromt that has the least % of markup when buying items (especially useful when marking them up yourself and reselling)
2. You understand the shop pricing mechanics of the game
3. You can use these equations to determine the prices you sell your items at

I hope this guide is somewhat helpful to those wondering about vendors and want to save and make money!
