Life Of A Shai #66: Can Active Trading Make Money? - Black Desert Online

[@x_casey396]

Hey teddy, dont know if you already know this.. so Im just going to say it anyway... Around 5 minutes in the video you are taming a horse. But, did you know you can teleport that newly tamed to you automatically? This is a much faster method of taking the newly tamed horse back to the stables. How to do it if you dont already know: Tame a horse, walk it over to your main horse, get off the newly tamed horse and get onto your main horse. now, run your main horse to the stables. you can sprint and get there asap and the newly tamed horse will automatically teleport to you every second or so. :)

It's amazing how similar approaches to the game and emotions in different people. I like to move around the world of the game. When I want to take a break from killing mobs, I take a wagon from the stable, harness the horses, and do active trading for at least 6 hours. Thanks to your video about trading, I was able to figure out and earn income and enjoy constant travel.

Hey! Always appreciate this kind of content, something new to learn.

When the horse event was live, i did active trading. With my noble wagon, i was making 4 mil per trip, balenos to heidel. Then i started holding items, buying them at 300k, then selling them when they go 1m. I use my alts to check when the refresh is up, then buy them(usually it's begginer 1 trade items so you i can buy them with alts). But with this method you have to play the game for a week, or you might miss your items' price going up. This is good money, i made 200m doing this(sometimes price go up more then 1m,especially from sand grain or old wisdom)didnt remember how many items it was. But it's more work. It didn't bother me though because i was training my horses.

[@TeddyTwighlite]

If the horses weren't being trained it'd feel really bad but gives me an excuse to actively train and make some money but am curious on using all dreams or Myths on a wagon

[@CJSpangler316]

This one thing I kinda found works is if you look at say bartali farm/guard camp and the honey farm / glish - it tells you items that are min price and how many cycles you have to wait to buy them. If you buy them when they come off min price, they usually triple in price in a few days , which lets me make 100+ mil from one trade run alone - but it requires leaving alts to keep tabs on the managers . Also some go back down then I gotta go clean them out manually Those two are probably the shortest distances just running from hideil to velia on the wagon and I can go back bartering

[@Shaved_Bunny]

Your videos are really entertaining to me!

[@TeddyTwighlite]

Glad you like them!

[@guyguyver7552]

They should increase the amount capacity of trade goods that you can put in trade carts to make it more worthwhile in my opinion...🤔

[@OptimalToast]

Cheers man. Was curious how it was now, last time I did active trading with any real effort was before the changes to it. Next horse training exp event I'll get back in to it now that I have the forest wagon. As long I can stay even on the trading, it'll be a good way to mix it up for a little bit.

[@TeddyTwighlite]

Great for horse training and making some money back while riding around lol so glad ya got your wagon and aren't having to use the lower ones lol

[@miguelrivera5098]

active trading can be insanely proftitable if you get lucky on multiple price hikes doubley so if theyre in the same region my single best trade cycle was a net gain of 3.2bil on a 1.3b initial investment it took an hr and 45 mins to sell evrything. by that logic i think i made roughly 1.2b an hour? feels right to me. which is insane and far better than any single grindzone can make in an hr. except the major catch is it cant really be done consistantly or reliably. there has to be multipe hikes in a single region. which doesnt happen very often.

[@TeddyTwighlite]

That's why I enjoy active trading more than the old system. To keep track of what I'm really making I just remove the initial once I make it back and everything else in the bag is all prof. If the hikes weren't random and spread out ar times I'd do it more

[@thebomber7641]

Did they change that the mount exp doesnt work on wagon horses? With exception for the event buff... Cause you got so many buffs and they should not work as far as i know.

[@TeddyTwighlite]

Yeah they've changed around mount exp a lot

[@CJSpangler316]

Is there a way to get rid of say the 50 items when the contract expires. Say I buy something at Keplan and let it expire. Is there an easy way to get rid of that 50 or do I gotta go there and take / delete the items

[@TeddyTwighlite]

They made it annoying and you'll have to head there WITH the wagon. you can't even pull it out on a horse. But, yeah you can take them out after they expire

[@jupiter7748]

Im trying to do the walking with weight stuff and try to buy an item in glish, it cost me 1m but the fkng iten is nowhere. only shows in order contract window. the item is chewy dried fogan something. any help?

[@ericvandersteen6647]

Active trading is terrible when you look at the profit in relation to the time invested. Same with bartering. And that doesnt even take into account the money you have to spend to get the forest wagon and the gear for it. So before you even break even on the total investment at 100 mil an hour you are looking at around 30 hours of trading just to make the money back from the wagon.

[@TeddyTwighlite]

That's sucks. Only spent 4hrs trading on twitch. Already had the forest path and everything years before so I only spent silver on repairs. Never really thought about how much you'd need to trade to buy a wagon lol
