How to run a caravan in Ashes of Creation

[@Mr.Nubtastic]

Nice and simple tutorial. Perfect for this newbie who is waiting for this weekend to run his first caravan. Thanks!!

[@tremenduos4262]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your first run this weekend!

This is the best Ashes video yet!

Defending a caravan should give you experience upon completion

[@tremenduos4262]

I Agree! Some kind of reward for those who defended it. The longer the journey, the bigger the reward!

[@Riecheck]

Was hoping for more information like the unique skills the caravan has while driving. How to cross rivers with it. Any pvp or travel tips. The impact different Beasts of Burden have.

[@tremenduos4262]

Yes that will be the in depth guide I plan on doing soon.

[@csanya25]

nice video. sadly this is bugged for me. i cant put those small crates to my empty caravan. hopefully will be fixed soon.

[@tremenduos4262]

@@csanya25 sorry to hear that. I've had it bugged for me a couple times now too. Some people have said reloading helped them fix it.

[@csanya25]

maybe i need to do the caravan quest first with wooden crates sadly had to restart the whole grind 3 times but i dont give up. i have a feeling when i can start it someone will attack on me :)

[@tremenduos4262]

@@csanya25 Did you try buying commodities from the hunting lodge? Most people wont attack. The beginner caravan is stacked with armor and has around 270,000 hp with regen.

[@csanya25]

⁠@@tremenduos4262yes i tried. but saddly i cant even put commodities to my caravan. the mechanusm to put in anything us bugged for me. But on other hand I saw others doing caravans and lots of them were attacked. Maybe I need to wait for next week patch or for the wipe and try it in phase2.

So the further away you start a caravan to delivery point, the more you can make per slot?

[@tremenduos4262]

Yes. I did a run from the desert to the tropics. I had 2.5g worth of cargo. (6 1x1 commodities) and it sold for about 30g. Someone on our run has 12 1x1 commodities and they got 60g. So you definitely get more bang for your glint on longer runs. It was about an hour and 45 minute trip though. So risk vs reward definitely in play.

@@tremenduos4262 oh ok so the further the distant basically the more money ull make, good to know ive been wondering

[@tremenduos4262]

@@calvinbush8238 As of right now that seems to be how it is working out. It will be interesting to see if they maybe add a twist to it. Maybe certain cities/nodes have a demand for certain commodities and give more gold.

How to get more slots? U had less at the beginning of the video

[@tremenduos4262]

the first caravan bugged out and I had to use a clip from a different run. I was going to make a vid on upgrading the caravan but you can find a vendor in town that sells the parts to upgrade. It was near the workshop I believe.

[@dontfrown3593]

Is the crate sealing bugged? I couldn't get it to seal a crate last weekend but it also never let me put a crate into the Caravan's storage.

[@tremenduos4262]

I haven't tested that method yet. I have just been buying commodities from the vendor in the hunting lodge and running those in my caravans.

[@drewbediah8744]

You have to do the crate sealing at the caravan npc with the window open

[@dontfrown3593]

@@drewbediah8744 Yes I tried doing it at the Caravan NPC and when I clicked Seal Crate, the window closed and the crate remained unchanged, the items in my cargo greyed out and I was not able to place the crate into my Caravan. I also tried sealing the crate at my Storage and the same thing happened. Any tips? Maybe you could post a video of the crate sealing?

[@samon101]

can you buy the cargo and go on foot to other city to sell?

[@tremenduos4262]

I don't believe so since the commodities go directly into your cargo storage. From there you havn't to move them into your caravan. I havn't tested it but I'm sure it won't let you move then into your inventory.
