Merchants and traders do their business at the trading post. There is always a deal to be made or a bargain to be had. However, merchants from far away tend to head for big and well known trading posts!

The capacity of your trading post - i.e. the total number of resources you can offer for sale at once - is increased with every expansion. The range of your trading post is increased with every second (even) expansion level; thus at levels 1 and 2 you see only your island and those immediately adjacent, at levels 3 and 4 you see 2 away, at levels 5 and 6 you see 3 away, but some of the stated distances may be 4 or 5. You can see the others trading port level, so that you will know how long it will take to load.

[edit] Expansion details

Please Note:

There are some researches which reduce the resources required for the construction of buildings. Pulley reduces the required amount of resources by 2% (2% total) Geometry reduces the required amount of resources by 4% (6% total) Spirit Level reduces the required amount of resources by 8% (14% total)

There are some buildings that reduce the resources demands. Architect's Office reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Carpenter reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Firework Test Area reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Optician reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Wine Press reduces the   requirements by up to 32%

There are some buildings that increase the production of resources. Alchemist's Tower increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Forester's House increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Glassblower increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Stonemason increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Winery increases the production of   by 2% for every level built.

Notes:

1. ↑ ^{1.0 1.1} Capacity = 400 * (Level^2) example: level 9 ⇒ 400 * (9^2) = 400 * 81 = 32,400
2. ↑ A Soft cap is the maximum level that is shown in the in-game Help (Ikipedia) section of Gameforge's games. However, structures can be built to higher levels than what is shown until you reach the Hard cap.
