Trade Regions
Tradorn's world is divided into 10 distinct trade regions, each with its own population share, level requirement, and market personality. Choosing where to trade is just as important as choosing what to sell.
How Regions Work
Each region has a percentage of the total NPC population. More population means more potential customers. The base population is 10,000 NPCs plus 500 for every active player, distributed across regions according to their population share.
Higher-level regions are harder to access but reward you with less competition, unique demand profiles, and bigger margins.
All Regions at a Glance
| Region | Required Level | Population Share | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Harbor | 1 | 14% | Starter hub, high food demand |
| South Bazaar | 1 | 13% | Diverse, balanced market |
| East Valley | 5 | 9% | Growing market |
| West Plains | 10 | 8% | Agricultural focus |
| Central Plaza | 15 | 18% | Largest population, fiercely competitive |
| Industrial Zone | 20 | 11% | Tech demand hotspot |
| Historic Quarter | 30 | 9% | Luxury-focused |
| Harbor Front | 40 | 10% | Import/export hub |
| Mountain Foothills | 55 | 5% | Exclusive, low competition |
| Riverside | 70 | 3% | Endgame, highest margins |
Choosing Your Region
Early game (Lv1-10): Focus on North Harbor and South Bazaar. High population and no level requirement make them ideal for building your initial income.
Mid game (Lv10-30): Expand into East Valley, West Plains, and Central Plaza. Central Plaza has the largest population at 18% but expect heavy competition.
Late game (Lv30+): The real profits are in Historic Quarter, Harbor Front, Mountain Foothills, and Riverside. Fewer players reach these levels, so competition drops while margins increase.
Tips
- Do not abandon lower-level regions when you unlock new ones — keep those shops running for passive income
- Central Plaza (18% population) is tempting but competitive; sometimes smaller regions yield better profit per shop
- Match your shop type to the region's demand profile for maximum sales
