Work in progress

Overview

Introduced with Publish 77, City Trade Ministers accept a variety of basic resources from players to assist in rebuilding their representative city and providing for the citizenry. City Trade Ministers will accept goods across a variety of professions including, Lumberjacks, Miners, Hunters, Cooks, Fisherman, Archers, Alchemists, Tamers and Herders.

  • Trade Ministers can be found at the major shipping hubs within each City. These include the Docks in most Cities, "Great Oak Vessels" in Yew, and the Stables in Minoc.
  • To donate a single item or stack of items drop them into the crate.
  • To donate a bag of items, drop the bag into the crate. A gump will appear with the quantities of each of the item groups you are donating. Make sure to check your donations, as all donations to the City are final!
  • To donate a tamed or herded animal double click the hitching post and target the animal you wish to donate. A confirmation gump will appear making sure you wish to donate that animal.
  • Double click the Trade Minister NPC to see a full list of items accepted. Basic resources are all that are necessary for donation.

Greeting

Greetings and Salutations! I am overjoyed thou hath seen fit to donate to the City! Surely they good deed shall be worthy of praise! We have need for resources and wares from a variety of professions! From Lumberjacks and Miners we require boards and ingots to rebuild our homes. From Hunters we require hides and cut leather to fashion goods and also cuts of rubs to feed the hungry. Cooks are in need to baked bread, while any citizen wouldst nay turn away a Fisherman's fresh catch of Crab and Lobster, or would even find fish steaks! Our archers are in need of tools for their trade, and so the Bowyer can provide Bows and Crossbows. Our citizens are always in need of healing, restorative, and sometimes devastating salves, and so we call upon Alchemists to donate simple potions. Finally our soldiers, ranchers, and farmers are in need of all manner of beasts. Hitch any dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs, or chickens to the post here and we will most certainly be appreciative!


Turn-in Items

Animals

The hitching post next to the trade minister will accept dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To donate the animal, double-click the hitching post and target the creature. A confirmation window will appear to verify your intent. Animals that have been herded, but not tamed, may be donated.

Commodities

The donation crate next to the Minister of Trade will accept items by simply dropping them onto the crate. Multiple items can be donated together in a container and a confirmation window will appear detailing the number and general type of items to be donated.

The following items can be donated:

  • Boards
  • Ingots
  • Hides
  • Cut Leather
  • Ribs - Cut of raw ribs.pngCut of Raw Ribs, not cooked Cut of ribs.pngCut of Ribs)
  • Baked Bread - Bread loaf.png but NOT Bread loaf crumbed.png
  • Fish Steaks - Raw fish steak.pngRaw Fish Steaks, not cooked Fish steak.pngFish Steaks
  • Crabs
  • Lobsters
  • Simple Potions (stacked potions allowed, but cannot be donated in a potion keg)
  • Bows
  • Crossbows

Item Value

The crate will accept different varieties of a type of item, although it is not clear if rarer or higher-value types award more loyalty points.

For example, while the crate will accept any type of cut leather, no differentiation is made when donating Barbed leather or Spined leather despite Barbed leather being worth more. This is specifically evident when donating items together in a container, ten pieces of two different types of leather would simply display as twenty pieces of cut leather in the confirmation window.
