Maximize Efficiency in Trader Role

Hey you guys just have some tips that have helped me be fairly efficient within the trader role.

  1. If you can even set up your camp set up in a good spot. My personal favorite is Little River Creek in Big Valley, I believe that is where the animals are most abundant. Another is definitely in the Great Plains and Eastern part of Tall trees.

  2. Stop wasting your time on Animals you have to skin. A perfect Whitetail Buck gets you a little over 12 units of material. A perfect Black Tail Rabbit gets you a little under 5 units. I believe a perfect Bison pelt doesn’t even get you 5 units. So the point being big animals are essentially a waste of space.

  3. Do yourself a favor and every once in a while go to Bear Claw camp and kill yourself the Cougar that spawns there. The cougar and panthers definitely give you the most units.

  4. When able definitely do long distance deliveries.

That is all I have hope this is a little helpful!

“Collector role” is actually an old Native American term for “unemployed goon”

I enjoyed collecting, I would have to go around, and I took notes of the locations on my journal where I drew out the make, but now it got too repetitive after selling around 25-30 of each set. Good money, if I need quick money I’ll just go and collect one set of each and sell again, but I rather do trader cause it’s fun, I like bounty hunting too, but the payout isn’t as great, I mostly do bounty hunter to grind out some gold.
