Market affinity



Market Affinity is not defined by the game itself, but it is a very simple concept. Increasing your market affinity has two effects:


 * Customers who come in to buy an item will offer you more money.
 * Customers who come in to sell an item will demand less money. (note by doenen: many observations have been made that increasing Mercantile actually makes sellers ask for MORE money, not less.)

There are three known ways to increase your market affinity:


 * You can upgrade your Mercantile skill.
 * You can improve your front desk.
 * You also get a temporary boost in market affinity from finishing some quests, such as Thieves and beggars.
