Then select medium caravan for 10 goods (or higher if available). Select Velvet, they should be at about 200 Thaler each. Step 4: Save, then talk to the mayor about trade. The city does not have to produce the good for this to work. This drives the buying price of that good down for your caravan. Step 3: Once you have 10 Velvet, sell them to the goods trader of a city. Velvet is hard to find but has the highest profit margin after you use market manipulation. If you stockpile 10 velvet you will get the Velvet Commander achievement as a bonus. Tools, Furs, Oils, Powder, Leatherwork, or any good with a high sale price will work. This works with other goods too but I recommend Velvet. Step 2: Start buying any Velvet you find to stockpile it in your inventory.
