Favorite Trade Routes and Ideas!

Mon Aug 21, 2006 6:08 pm by Zeta1

Welcome to the second edition of freelancer discussion ideas, debates, reviews thread. This one is about trading! Discuss your routes! Come up with new ideas! Ask others for their opions! Debate which one is better! Have a wonderful time and learn alot! I guess ill start.

Okay, heres the deal, one of the nicest trade routes that is a good starting Dromedary route Is the Cortez Gun Run. It is best on servers where the NY-Magellan Jump gate is active, like my favorite server, Jolt UK!!! Lets say ur starting out on and you need some cash. Simple! get to ur nearest Manhatten Commodity Dealer and buy Consumer Goods. Then take them to Detroit Munitions. I know its not much, but better than nothing, and being in the KoF trader and hunter clan, espically Trader, you learn that a little more cash is better than none. So after you get to Detroit, pick up those Light arms! Then take quickest Route To Montezuma Base in Cortez System, E6, and it sells for somewhere over 100k Pretty simple run for only going to A BorderWorld. Anyway, ill post some more routes later. Jump right in!

When all else fails, tell them you want world peace.

I like the Diamond run from Bautzen Station to New Tokyo, then Niobium back to Leipzig Station. It’s a nice run and actually makes you feel like a merchant

it's only one way though...

Luxury Consumer Goods from Roppongi to Ainu Depot... 1 hop, and the money is more than 90K

Actually Annga there is a way back, just take a wee bit of time. Okay, two ways. One, take H-Fuel from Ainu to Yokamama, then go to New Tokyo. Buy Engine Componets. Take them all the way down thru Borderworlds, into Colrado, then NY, and into Magellan if ur Server has the gate active. If not, same affect, just takes longer.

Other route, is doing the H-Fuel Yokamoha Run, Then taking Luxury Food from Planet NT to Honshu, then taking Optronics all the way down thru Taus and to Cambridge. Then take Diamonds from Cambridge to New London. From there buy pharmacuticals, take to Battleship Essex. Dont buy anything here, and proceed onto The Battleship Hood. In my opion, going to buy Gold from Arranmore and not Hood is suicide, brandishing radiation and mine fields. Not to mention Sepratist Cutthroat Mollys. So take gold from Hood to Honshu.

woaow, thx for the idea!

Cambridge?? Hmmm... I think that would be a hostile area... for me... since it is still at war between two clans...... make it three.....

anyway, thx for the idea again ^^

The battle is finally over! So from now on I can roam to other places which were noted as "Hostile" for me. This time I want to try Rheinland commodities. Diamonds and Engine components are the better commodities in Rheinland. I'm just wandering how to setup a good trade route from Rheinland to other places.

I know that bringing Engine Components from Freiburg to Cambridge/New London is a quick way to gain some fat cash. Is there any other trades I haven't known before?

(4 hops Trade Route is fine to me... just don't put me to bring commodities from or to criminals' bases though....)

Try Diamonds from Bautzen to New Tokyo. Take the route from Dresden, NB, then to Frankfurt, use the Stigma-13 system, into Honshu, and at NT. Also, Engine Componets from NB, if you can go to Texas and Cali, and the Borderworlds, this would work. take the engine comps from NB to texas, then onto Cali jump hold. Using that will cut some time down. After that, high tail onto Mactan Base in the Magellan system. Then grab Gold and take it to Alster Shipyard. I think Oder might be better. but Alster is 1,250 per gold unit, and gold price at Mactan should be about half of that. Remember, my routes will never include Cardamine or Artifacts since i dont smuggle. So thats one route you could use. Ill try and work out some inner Rheinland routes you can use without Leaving Rheinland.

Woaow, thanks for the reply, Zeta. Diamond rules!

Anyway, I think I don't want to smuggle anymore (gotta change the sig sooner or later....)
