Guild Traders - Statistics

eMKa8 · August 2020

Hi 👋

I have been on and off on various Trader guilds and was wondering how active these really are in the world of Tamriel. Can anyone give me estimates about the following (especially for premium spots)

- how much do trader guilds cost for a week ?
- How many profit do trader guilds make a week?
- What is the turnover at a trade guild weekly
- How many unique players visit a trader guild weekly

I am curious ...

Thanks

One thing I dont understand is why there are some guild traders in the most popular areas that sell absolutely nothing. In every category, they have 4-5 items max. How do they manage to buy their places?

it highly depends on the server.

For example xbox.

If I scroll through Mournhold purchases after 12 hours on EU, I scroll through 20 pages.

On NA, I scroll through 120.

NA has far more players than EU.
This has several impacts, e.g. on NA the competition among guilds is so high, that they use dues.
For a mournhold based trader you pay 8-20 k gold per week.
On EU, no dues exist.

Am on PC EU, which is said to be the more populated PC server, so my information is based from there.

- how much do trader guilds cost for a week ?

Depends on the location. The hot spots are very expensive. As in several millions.

- How many profit do trader guilds make a week?

The majority of the bigger trading guilds doesn't make a profit at all. Most of the income they do goes to bid on a trader.

- What is the turnover at a trade guild weekly

Depends on the location, but the big ones need to have a high one to afford staying at their wanted traders.

- How many unique players visit a trader guild weekly

Again, depend on the location. People are more likely to use the hot spots so they see more traffic, but I've no clue how much that is.

A lot of the specific numbers regarding trading guilds/traders is kept on the hush-hush, especially in the bigger ones, because of the hard competition there.
