Trading

Trading is one of the skills in The Age of Decadence.

The theory and understanding off all commerce matters. More than an art of buying cheap, trading shows its acolytes the power of gold, uncovers hidden opportunities, and teaches that everything has a price.

Each rank improves the amount of money you get from selling items to merchants or decreases prices. The skill is also used in conversation to haggle prices on special items, for each of the inn rooms, and other business or monetary topics.

Feng and Kemnebi can train the player in this skill.
