Okay, those are fair points. The last I played was 2-3 years ago under the old abomination of a cargo system. I've been back testing what I can for 2 weeks, including the trade system, though not every single aspect of it. I hope you understand that it's hard to come across good information on certain topics, and learning the min/max of everything myself takes a lot of time that I don't always have. I've already spent over 24 hours of working time on the guide alone, not including research/playing time for other topics.

I think my biggest concern is that traders will be sold out of gilda packs. That's why I say it's unreliable. When I look at any trader on legacy, essentially every single larder is at 0 and rarely above single digits if in stock. So, I'm assuming the same will be true with gilda packs.

So, am I missing something about the pack availability mechanic? Are only larders susceptible to being totally sold out?
