Getting Started
Welcome to Tradorn. This guide will walk you through your first steps from creating an account to making your first sale.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Head to tradorn.com and sign up. You can register with email or use Google sign-in. Once registered, you will receive $10,000 in starting capital — enough to open your first shop and stock it with products.
Step 2: Choose Your First Shop Type
You have four shop categories to choose from: Grocery, Fashion, Tech, and Jewelry. For new players, Grocery is the best choice. Food has the highest NPC demand, which means faster sales and quicker returns on your investment. See Your First Shop for a detailed breakdown.
Step 3: Stock Products from Suppliers
Once your shop is open, you need inventory. Visit the supplier to buy products. Each product comes in three quality tiers:
- Cheap — Low cost, lower appeal to NPCs
- Standard — Balanced cost and appeal
- Premium — Highest cost, but NPCs prefer it
Start with Standard tier to balance margins and demand.
Step 4: Set Your Sell Prices
This is where strategy matters. Set your sell price above the purchase price to earn a profit margin, but do not go too high — NPCs are price-sensitive. A margin of 20-40% is a good starting point. Check what competitors are charging and stay competitive.
Step 5: Wait for NPCs to Buy
NPCs make purchasing decisions every 45 seconds. They evaluate your prices, product quality, and your reputation. If everything looks good, they buy. Sales happen automatically — you do not need to be online.
Step 6: Earn, Level Up, Expand
Every sale earns you money and XP. As you level up, you unlock:
- New regions with bigger populations and higher profits
- New shop types with different product categories
- Guild creation at Level 10
Reinvest your profits into more stock, better quality products, and shops in new regions. The cycle of buy, sell, and expand is the core loop of Tradorn.
