Trading Legend Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Become a Top Business Tycoon

1. Follow The Main Quest

The first few minutes of your dive into the world of Trading Legend will be aimed towards introducing and familiarizing you with its most basic features and mechanics. You will be led to click on the designated structures or icons as well as claim rewards for main quest targets completed. Although you will be free to venture on your own shortly and given that there is already a plethora of features to visit even at the early part of your journey, we recommend sticking to following the main quest for faster progression.

Main quest targets will be indicated on the lower left side of the screen. Only one objective will be shown at a time although it does not mean that efforts directed towards other aspects of progression do not count. It can happen that you will accomplish some quest objectives that have yet to appear and those will be marked as completed once they pop up on the quest line. The rationale behind following the main quest line is for you to claim the rewards for it, as well as other rewards pended behind it.

There will naturally be instances when progressing the main quest will be impossible for the moment given that some activities have limited attempts that replenish over time and resources are consumed every step of the way in the campaign. These will be the only instances that makes it reasonable for you to stray from pursuing the current quest.

Strictly adhering to the main quest may all seem very restrictive in an adventure where there is an abundance of features to explore as well as activities to engage in. Do not worry though as some quest targets will certainly leave you plenty of time to venture across all other areas of the game with some progression. In essence, you can expect that progression in your journey to slow down the further you get given the increasing costs of upgrades and improvements and the growing level of challenges in the campaign.

While accomplishing one main quest target after another essentially gives you familiarity of the cycle you go through as far as clearing the objectives go, actually accomplishing a set of objectives relative to the main quest will likewise form part of a routine that you will sooner or later be able to establish following a higher level of familiarity with all of the game’s features and mechanics.

Trading Legend also provides indicators on areas that require attention. These indicators serve as yet another set of valid reasons for you to deviate from pursuing a current quest. While these indicators are helpful in the early part of your adventure, you will come to realize later on that some aspects of the game will also require some attention even if they do not have an indicator.

2. Familiarize Yourself With The Market

Just as the Market served as your key towards starting your journey on becoming a trading legend, it should be perceived as the core of your earnings. The bank your uncle owns will primarily be a source of money for you but your dependence on it will grow less and less over time. Several business establishments will be unlocked in the course of your adventure and each one will equally contribute to your income.

The bank hosts the idle clicker element of Trading Legend and each tap on it generates money for you. In the early part of your journey, you will need to tap on the bank to sustain your monetary needs as well as satisfy the conditions of some main quest objectives.

The amount of cash the bank generates per click depends on its level and you can upgrade the bank using Bank Designs. You can click on the “Expand” button beside the bank and upgrade it if you have the required number of Bank Designs. Once the bank reaches level 10, you will unlock the Bank Management System, which plays like a mini-game of sorts that help earn you more money.

Different market stalls or businesses can be unlocked within the Market following your progression across the main campaign. Each new structure unlocked has its own level and amount of earnings per second. Market Designs are needed to level up each structure and just like the bank, higher levels will require more copies of Market Designs.

Levelling market buildings up, however, is not the only means for you to increase the earnings it can generate. You can recruit staff for each structure and while there is a limit to the number of people you can hire, it is hardly within reach even after a long time of adventuring. More so, upgrading each building will increase the limit of staff it can hold.

Finally, the retainers, who are comparable to generals of your growing empire, can be assigned to each of the business buildings you have unlocked. Each market structure can have 5 retainers deployed in them although the last slot can only be unlocked once you reach level 40. Depending on the Retainer Deployment Skill Level of the assigned retainer, the business building can have an increased profit which is a percentage of its actual earnings.

Although you constantly earn silver as a result of having market buildings as well as taps on the bank and extra earnings from numerous activities, you will still easily empty out your supply of it. One of the most important skills to have in Trading Legend is being able to strategically allocate important resources for maximum growth.

Having multiple business stalls that can have more staff for increased income is a basic example of this. You can choose to spend money to recruit however you see fit and your income will be increased. However, choosing the right balance of investments across all open businesses considering costs of recruitment in contrast with increase in income will lead to a more efficient growth rate. At the same time, ensuring that you have an extra supply of money to pursue campaign stages and raise your heirs is important as well.

While in the Market, keep your eyes peeled for random events that pop up as well. If you see a lot of people gathered up with a speech bubble on top of them, you should click on it to earn some extra rewards. There are also trade offers that occasionally pop up. These will either cost gold, which is a premium currency, or an offer that can double rare items in your inventory, provided that you meet the required number of it to begin with.

As silver stands as the most basic currency you will constantly be in need of, pumping the idle earnings up as much as you can serve as an important aspect of your adventure. Idle earnings can be earned even if you are offline and away from the game and will continue to stack up to 12 hours. With this in mind, you should consider emptying out your supply of earnings before leaving the game, especially if you are planning to do so for a long time. Hire more staff on stores starting with the most expensive ones and leave as little idle income as much as possible.

3. Strategize Around Upgrading Retainers

Although Trading Legend focuses on your journey to become the top tycoon across the entire kingdom, the journey is hardly a lonesome one considering the number of people whom you will recruit to join your growing business empire. One of the most important sets of these people are your retainers, who serve as your primary means of increasing earnings as well as expanding the growth of your business empire. Each one has his own set of skills and specializations that can boost their own earnings as well as your empire’s.

Retainer Cards that you can earn from the lucky draw and other special events are your exclusive means of securing top grade retainers through the exchange shop. However, Trading Legend provides means for you to recruit some retainers through status level increases as well as special event rewards.

You can check your current status level by clicking on your portrait at the upper left corner of the Mansion or Market screen. You need to meet the required amount of prestige and earnings to be able to reach the next status level. On top of numerous perks to obtain following an increase in status level, most of it come with a new retainer to recruit.

Retainers can be categorized by their quality or rarity grade which could be A, S, SR, or SSR. Some retainers can be promoted to a higher rarity rank following certain conditions. Although there are small advantages for earning capacity between Retainers from one rank to the next, it should not lead you to completely ignore some of them in terms of resource investment.

The most basic way of improving a retainer’s earnings is through leveling them up. EXP, which is earned from clearing campaign stages as well as raising your heirs, is consumed for each level up. Regardless of quality or rarity grade, retainers have an initial level cap of level 100. Once a retainer has reached their level cap, however, you can promote them to increase the cap by 50. You will need to consume Unique Ledgers, Unique Clothing, and Unique Jade for each promotion.

Retainers have skills that can be enhanced using different books. Most of these skills impact aptitude, and aptitude basically relates to how much earning increases are gained with each new level gained. The third skill, which is the easiest to enhance, is the Retainer Deployment Level. Improving this will boost the percentage increase in the income of the building where the retainer is deployed.

Although retainers belong to one of five different classes, these classes hardly have an impact on most endeavors they engage in. If any, the special events within the campaign stages that require specific retainer classes to earn the top rewards are the most significant applications of their class. There are some boosts that can affect retainers belonging to one class as well and some consumables also have limited applicability relative to the class system.

As far as management of resources is concerned when it comes to upgrading your retainers, there is no right or wrong way to do it but imposing strategies in prioritization can lead to a more efficient growth rate. While most endeavors may take into account the total earnings of all your retainers, individual earnings do matter in some game modes and challenges.

Banking on one top grade retainer for example can help lead push your crew across numerous challenges at a faster rate. You will also need to consider the bonds and beasts that apply additional boosts to each one.
