Trade

UnReal World uses a barter system of trading, meaning there is no currency. You may trade with anyone you find, but you'll find more and often better items in shops. Notice that not all cultures have shops in their villages.

Trading with people
Trading with people is simple: When you find an item you are interested in, Select "Offer Items", and add whatever items you are willing to give. When the person agrees with the offer, the offer window will turn green. From here, you may Accept the trade, Start again from the beginning, or Stop trading.
 * Open extended commands [#]
 * Select "Talk to Someone" [T]
 * Select who you wish to talk to
 * Select the "Trade Items" option From here, you can see what the person has they are willing to trade.

Most villages from the northern and eastern cultures have no shops and so you must trade this way. Vagabond villages never have shops.

Trading with shops
Shops are the buildings in villages with items or signs adjacent to their doors. To trade with a shop, simply pick up whatever item you want. Then, it's the same was trading with a normal person. Driik and Sartolais villages often have shops, with Driik settlements usually having the most and largest variety of shops.

Types of shops include:
 * Goods shed
 * Weaponsmith
 * Granary
 * Fishing shed
 * Armory
 * Metalsmith
 * Hunting Equipment store
 * Fish storehouse

Tips

 * Always offer one item at a time, or you may end paying too much for an item.
 * Some people aren't interested in certain items. This happens if the item you offer is too low value compared to the item you're trading for. You can get around this problem by offering low value items in bulk. If it's accepted, start over and see how little you can get away with.
 * One particular trade goods that players like to make is the light-weight wooden bowl, made from wood blocks. However, in terms of time and effort, clubs are easier to make since the source material is slender trunks, and clubs can be decorated as well. A single club can be traded for at max eight Flat Rye Breads. Trade comparison of clubs and bowls: e. g. 1 iron vambrace = 32 clubs or 7 bowls = 4.5 times as many clubs as bowls needed to buy an iron vambrace. Time comparison for making 8 clubs and 8 bowls at max timbercraft and dexterity skill level and usage of appropiate axe: 336 minutes (56 (7 x 8) mins to cut 8 young (slender) trees + 280 (35 x 8) mins to make 8 clubs); 650 minutes (47 mins to cut 1 tree + 27 mins to make 8 blocks of wood + 576 (72 x 8) mins to make 8 wooden bowls) = 1.93 times as many clubs as bowls made in the same time. Epilogue: it's better to "pay" with bowls. ***The value of bowls has been greatly reduced in 3.13 and later.
 * Currently (of patch 3.13-4) one of the most valuable items in terms of resources/time/bartering value is torch. You only require knife to get branches. 10 branches make one torch, you get 9-12 branches at one attempt without failure. Time to make a torch is 30 minutes (in contrast to 60 minutes plus penalty for a bowl, disregarding time to fell a tree and chop it into blocks). Torches are always valuable to traders, whereas one bowl is not always accepted.
