Trade Goods

There are various goods that can be traded throughout Atheria. You might find a section in a location article that mentions Trade Goods. This should clarify what they are and what they mean!

Reading the Trade Goods Section

Trade goods will be listed as the name of the good and a symbol, like Sheep +. The symbol indicates how much of the resource is available in the area. The more of that resource, the lower lower the buy price and lower the sell price. If a resource is not listed in a location's Trade Goods section, assume it buys and sells for base price.

Symbol	Meaning	Buy Modifier	Sell Modifier
++	The area produces excess/has access to an abundance of a resource	Does not buy	Sells for much cheaper than base price
+	The area produces/has access to a resource	Buys for cheaper than base price	Sells for cheaper than base price
~	The area has base access to a resource	Buys for base price	Sells for base price
-	The area is in need of a resource	Buys for higher than base price	Sells for higher than base price
- -	The area is desperate need of a resource	Buys for much higher than base price	Does not sell
