[Salim Hamid]

Ehm?

This class only for Novices just starting their adventure.

Looking at you, you seem like you need some help. How about going to another place?

Oh~

At a glance, hey, you like the lost baby sheep.. Here the non registered passengers are prohibited.

If you want to look around this area without physical prohibiton, you would better register first at the info desk at the Academy entrance.

Ho Oh~

You look like you're ready to change to a first job.

How about it? Are you interested in the way of the Merchant? If so, I may be helpful for you.

Oh.. No...

Well, there is no way. Our Criatura Academy put the priority to the adventurer's choice.

Good~ Then, I will send you to the town of Alberta. There you can become a merchant.

Do not go elsewhere, immediately enter the town.

Find the [Forge].

Yes, I understand. When you are ready, let me see you again.

Good~ Please go to the Forge and find me.

Hey, you like a lost sheep. Do you know why you've come here?

Oh... you don't?

Oh~ you seem like a quick learner.

Well, I should at least give a briefing.

I am Salim Hamid in charge with training the merchant course here at the Criatura Academy.

This classroom is for Merchant applicants. In fact, this room is mainly for doing the finacial management of the Criatura Academy.

Next time, if you want to observe the merchant course, you can visit me, Salim Hamid and register.

Oh~ You came back. Do you want to experience the Merchant training course? It is a little bit difficult to the average beginner.

Oh~ though it is a bit hard, it is worth learning. Sadly, there's no other way.

Oh, yes... Then, first will you register your name in this student list?

Resistance from the beginning? This isn't the way to start training.

Ummm~ Your name is...

First to observe the Merchant course, you need to have the Merchant mindset. A trader with less than 100 zeny could not be called a Merchant.

Of course, that money won't be taken. It is only A test to see your basic mindset to being a Merchant. Good luck.

Wow, you really came back with 100 zeny in hand. I feel your desire to learn clearly.

Now. I will give you a Merchant's manual. Equipped with it. Press Alt + S key and look at the skill window.

Clicking the [MISC] tab on the skill window, you can see the Merchant manual skills.

Now~ as we should go to the next course, equip the guide and see the skill, then speak to me again.

Hohohong.. Test is not easy? Will you give it up now?

Will you? 100 zeny isn't hard to get pal.

Yes, come back to me when you change your mind.

Now, how about attending the class concerning various basic skills which merchants should have for making money.

This might be better for you to learn from the steward working on the field next door. Go to him for the Merchant theory course, then return to me.

Haven't you gone to him for the class? Go to the steward next to me and return after completing the Merchant skill theory.

Have you come after a good lesson from the steward concerning what a Merchant can do?

By any chance,

Yes, your open mind is good for you. As this academy has many other lecturers besides Merchants.

Whenever you feel like learning again, come back to me

Is that so? OK, now how about learning the major effects of Merchant's stats? If you are ready, speak to me.

Trader's stats are classified as two major series. One is for manufacturing, the other is for battle.

Of course, these are for farther down in the future. At this moment, you are even short of stats to invest DEX enabling you to hunt a monster.

But, there is a big difference between your knowledge of the basic rules and being ignorant of it.

Let's learn about it one by one.

Now, what series do we start with?

It will be OK as it is, won't it?

Yes, you are

Aha~ I think I got you wrong. Let's start the lecture again.

Being in a trader role, the stats affecting the figure of battle power are two STR & DEX.

STR is related to the basic attacking power, DEX is to hit ratio and recovery from damage.

In you future, according to the 2nd and 3rd jobs you choose, you can learn additional attacking stats such INT or AGI.

To back up your shortage, you can increase LUK a little.

Rather than worry yourself, it may be a good idea to learn from other Merchants. You know ask others for advice.

Any other questions?

The stats concerning crafting is simpler than that concerning battle. Only difficulty is how to cultivate it.

It is common that you increase DEX & LUK as the base and, if you have surplus, you invest the rest in INT.

Of course, the allocation of the portion should be properly adjusted in accordance with your equipments and the status you are in.

One thing you should keep in mind is it may be a very boring and ascetic way to grow alone as Merchant specializing in crafting.

If possible, make use of your friends and their items if you can.

This is my personal opinion only.

It is absolutely not the official standpoint of the Criatura Academy.

Then, it is the end of this class.

If you have more questions about Merchants, please make other visits.

You came back again.

Can you see the noisy vending machine at the corner of this classroom? It was originally a soft drink vending machine but swallows coin very much...

Anyway, due to this reason, it is now being used for the trainees' practice of skills. Please check the prices for Garlet and Zargon.

But! You should come back wit the information about the discounted prices equipped with the merchant's manual and applied with the discount rate.

Don't buy them. Just come back with the checked prices only. Can you do it?

OK. Then you challenge it next time.

Good~ I will see you later.

Yes. Let's see the prices you checked.

OK. You come back after rechecking them in detail.

OK~ You correctly checked the prices equipped with Merchant's Manual.

Perhaps, if you become a Merchant and use the high level of discount skill, you can buy what you want at much cheaper prices.

The practice of overcharge will be the same.

You don't need to practice the overcharge as well. You experience it while selling items earned during the other courses.

Now the Merchant training at the Academy is finished.

Did you correctly check them?

Hahaha.

When you want to test the other battle skills in the Merchant's Manual,

visit [Battle Trainer Subino] on the 1st floor.

You can fully experience the battle related practice through him.
