Trader

Traders are the lifeline of the Silk Road, moving valuable goods between cities to turn a profit. Each trade run requires:

  • Gold: To invest in trade goods.
  • 1 Activity Point (AP): Required per trade good. (10 AP for full-scale trade)

Earnings: Traders can gain up to 5 AP per run (minus the capital used), with the amount depending on the city. This journey is lucrative but risky, as thieves lie in wait.

Hunter

Hunters are defenders of the Silk Road, hired by Traders to protect their precious cargo from thieves. Hunters earn:

  • Activity Points (AP): Gained for each trade good a Trader successfully sells.

Hunters are integral to trade stability and benefit from every deal a Trader completes.

Thief

Thieves lurk in the shadows, aiming to seize Traders' goods and sell them on the black market. With each heist, Thieves test their stealth and cunning to earn significant profits.

Each job offers a unique approach to thriving on the Silk Road. Will you risk it all as a Trader, protect the peace as a Hunter, or take what you can as a Thief?
