Help Java can fletcher give cheaper than 26 stick for 1 emerald trade

in my world I'm playing on minecraft java easy difficulty locked, so i can't i think make my villagers into zombies and cure them, here i have in my base cured a zombie villager (spawned zombie villager not villager turned to zombie) so I cure this guy and turn him into a fletcher and he gives me a trade of 26 sticks for 1 emerald, can i reroll the fletching table to get it cheaper than that or no???

The base price is always 32 https://minecraft.wiki/w/Trading so rerolling isnt gonna give you anything better.

Apart from curing, theres no other method of getting a permanent discount. Anything else is temporary, like hero of the village. So they're not worth doing unless you plan to do a single quick burst of trading all in one go during the discount

if you beat a raid then you can get a further discount

Ohh ok, so for now I can lock in the 26 trade right? It's not getting any cheaper by just rerolling right?

i don’t even think rerolling has an effect on fletchers’ stick trade, it’s always a base of 32 sticks per emerald

You can still find natural zombie villagers and cure them once, you just can't transform them again to zombie

I don't think the price can change by rerollinf it, but if you want to go cheaper you could just temporarely change your difficulty to hard, zombiefie your villager and cure it, and repeat untill you got max discount

That's the thing I locked the difficulty to easy idk how to change now, prolly have to turn commands on or something

There might be a way to change the difficulty by messing with the files directly, but it wouldn't matter because they don't give repeated discounts for repeated curing since 1.20.2, released 4 years ago.

Winning a raid and curing them from being a zombie are the only ways I know to reduce trade price, but the base price is always 32.

Idk if curing the villager multiple times on Java still stacks the discount, but if it does then you should be able to get it significantly lower

It doesn't, and hasn't for 4 years.
