The 2011 Fall Trade Fair will begin at the end of the month.
Tentatively:
It will start the 26th or 27th, depending on my schedule. Town criers will announce closer to the date.
There will be no limit on how many vendors you can have, within reason.
The definite location is not picked yet (but it will be one of two choices already decided on).
The Fair will run through the following weekend, November 6th
Like previous fairs, there is a vendor placement charge of 10k per vendor placed.
You must use a vendor placed in the setup arena (open at fair time).
You cannot use a vendor you have already set up (we wont move a vendor already placed).
The vendors will charge vendor fees like they always do.
.
Setup will be announced ingame with broadcasting and towncrier once the setup arena is open.
Once there are sufficient vendors, they will be moved to the Fair location and the fair is opened; usually the next morning.
.
As always, I suggest those of you who craft or gather resources to start stocking up. Rares sell at this event but its the pvp supplies and resources that really make the gold at the trade fairs.
.
Other Merchant Information:
Before the Fair
Choose a blue, nonfaction character for your Trade Fair Merchant
Make sure this character has 10k gold in the bank (not a check).
Make sure this character has additional gold for vendor fees
Gather the items to stock the vendor. Bring these items with you or have them in the bank
If you want the vendor to have a specific outfit, you need to bring it with you.
Come to the setup arena once Setup is announced via the Green Moongate at East Britain Bank.
Come prepared as above. You cannot come and go from this area when setting up vendors.
If the gate is not there, Setup is not open. Do not page
If you have never owned a vendor, see the guide to player vendors.
The vendor options, stocking and customizing are available at the Fair, not just at setup.
If you are new to the Fairs, this page will give you more information about the event. It's more or less up to date.
Mostly.
