Unlocking the Trading System in Where Winds Meet

1 - Reach Kaifeng City

You need to progress the main story until you unlock Kaifeng City — this is where most of the trading systems become available, including the Trade Commission and regular merchants that accept Commerce Coins.

2 - Visit Commerce Vendors

Once in Kaifeng, look for special trade vendors near the Southern Gate Avenue — they rotate goods you can buy and sell for Commerce Coins.

This basically activates the trade cycle so you can start earning and spending Commerce Coins.

Tips

  • Stock up Fri/Sat when prices dip under 110%, store in rented properties, then cash out at peaks—patterns hold weekly.
  • Always park your character right in front of the Kaifeng Trade Commission before joining worlds—you'll spawn ready to sell, skipping city runs.
  • Hit F for World Price Check; target 200%+ spikes (red up arrows) on Ramie/Storax in other worlds, ignoring local trends for max flips.

Weekly trade cycle explained

  • Every week, the Trade Market has three featured goods (e.g., storax, ramie, porcelain jars).
  • Your world will have one item that becomes “volatile” — meaning its price changes daily and you can sell it for profit if you time it right.

Weekend Phase

  • From weekly reset until end of weekend, you can buy featured goods at a fixed base price in your world only.

Weekday Phase

  • During the week, the volatile item’s price fluctuates (can go much higher than base).
  • You can visit other players’ worlds in Co-op to sell that item where the price is high and make Commerce Coins.

Goal

  1. On weekend, buy as much as you can of the three featured items at base price.
  2. During the week, sell your volatile goods in worlds where prices are high.
  3. Repeat weekly for maximum Commerce Coins.

Guilds Used for Trading

Guilds in WWM are more than just social groups—they’re one of the strongest tools for consistent trading profit. Many active guilds organize co-op trading runs, share world price alerts, and pool goods to sell at massive spikes. If your guild members are spread across multiple worlds, you can rotate between them to hit peak prices without waiting for random market swings.

Why Guilds Matter for Trading

  • Guildmates often scout multiple world price boards and ping announcements instantly.
  • Coordinated selling means moving huge batches of resources at 200–300% spikes for boosted profit.
  • Many guilds maintain shared warehouses and rented properties for bulk storage during weekly dips.
  • Experienced traders inside guilds share optimal product cycles (Ramie, Storax, Reed Parasol, etc.).
  • New updates improved co-op trade deliveries, letting members transfer goods more smoothly.

How to successsfully Trade in Where Winds Meet

Tip 1 - Increase storage

You start with limited trade storage (~20 slots). Expand storage by renting a house in Kaifeng or leveling your guild warehouse. More storage = more goods held = bigger weekly profit.

Tip 2 - Timing is key

Sell when volatile prices spike (can reach ~280%+). Don’t wait too long — prices change daily and reset next weekend.

Tip 3 - Use Co-Op smartly

Join other players’ worlds to sell to their volatile markets if yours isn’t favorable.

Tip 4 - Earn Commerce Coins outside trading

Complete quests and world events — many give Commerce Coins on completion. Early game can also rely on cat puzzles / bell shops to buy Commerce Coins boxes (good bootstrap).

What to know about Player-to-Player Trades

Right now, the global version of the game does not support direct item trading between players (like a barter or auction house for gear).

  • You can gift items to other players manually through the social interface, but this isn't an official trade system for all item types.
  • Trading (for profit/Commerce Coins) only works through the Trade Commission marketplace loop described above.
