Supplier Tiers
- Cheap tier — Works well for budget products like Eggs and Potatoes where margins are already thin. Keeps costs down.
- Standard tier — The recommended starting point. Good appeal without breaking the bank. Use for mid-range products like Avocado and Cheese.
- Premium tier — Best for expensive products (Chicken, Lamb, Beef) in wealthy regions. The appeal boost on premium meat products drives significantly more sales.
Pricing Tips
Food is the most competitive category because everyone starts with a Grocery shop. Keep these guidelines in mind:
- Budget products (Egg through Tomato): Price at 15-25% margin. Volume is king for cheap items.
- Mid-range products (Apple through Cheese): Aim for 25-35% margin. These have slightly less competition.
- Premium products (Chicken, Lamb, Beef): You can push 30-45% margins in mid and high-level regions where wealthier NPCs shop.
Best Regions
- North Harbor (Lv1, 14%) — Highest food demand in the game. Essential for Grocery traders.
- Central Plaza (Lv15, 18%) — Massive population means massive food sales, but competition is fierce.
- West Plains (Lv10, 8%) — Agricultural region with above-average food demand.
- South Bazaar (Lv1, 13%) — Diverse but strong food market.
Strategy
Stock a mix of cheap and expensive products. Cheap items like Eggs and Potatoes generate rapid turnover and steady XP, while Beef and Lamb deliver bigger per-sale profits. This combination gives you both volume and margin — the best of both worlds.
