Commodities vendors

Commodities vendors are NPCs at hunting lodges within nodes.[2][3][4][5]
- Commodities vendors trade glint for player commodities.[2][6][7][3][4][5]
- These commodities can be traded for gold at commodities vendors.[2][6][7][3][4][5] The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node (over the last seven days) as well as its distance from the originating node.[8][6][9][3]
- Example: Transiting Salt Cured Meat from Winstead to the adjacent Miraleth node should yield an approximate 5x multiplier to the gold value (from 150 at the origin node to 8 at the destination node). These rates are subject to testing and balancing.[10]
- Commodities can also be traded at the originating node for an approximately equal value that they were purchased for.[8]
- Commodities vendors can also trade glint directly for a lesser amount of gold than would be achievable through exchanging commodities with other nodes.[11]
- These commodities can be traded for gold at commodities vendors.[2][6][7][3][4][5] The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node (over the last seven days) as well as its distance from the originating node.[8][6][9][3]
- Player commodities may be sold directly from caravan (or merchant ship) inventory to commodities vendors.[12]
- You can sell it back for around the cost you bought them for in terms of the glint to gold conversion, but you should be putting them in a caravan and taking them to another node, because that will increase the value based on the node you take it to: how far away that node is and and how many of that commodity has been sold at that node over the last seven days.[8] – Chris Justo

Hunting lodges
Hunting lodges (also called Hunter's lodges) are default service buildings that come pre-built with nodes.[13][2]
- Glint can be exchanged for player commodities and/or gold at Commodities vendor NPCs within hunting lodges.[11][13][6][7][3][4][5]
Glint
Glint (previously known as Hunting certificates and Monster certificates) is a bound currency that drops from mobs and players, and is offered as a reward for completing certain quests, events, and achievements. Glint is intended to be the primary method for generating gold in the Ashes of Creation economy.[15][13][6][7][3][5]
- Glint serves a very integral role in the economy within Ashes of Creation. It is a material substance that is acquired through various means, but primarily hunting different antagonists within the world; and it is the physical form of Essence within the beasts of Verra. So when you acquire this it is bound to your character, and that is a very important component of the economic systems here because glint will be used to pay for certain services, such as taxation for buildings that you have, or citizenship dues that are necessary.[16] – Steven Sharif
- Glint is not localized to specific regions.[17][6][18][19][3][20] Previously it was stated that glint was specific to an economic region.[9][3][4][5]
- Glint occupies space within the spatial inventory system and must be transported via crates when in large quantities.[17]
- Glint can be sold directly to commodities vendors at hunting lodges within nodes to "make some quick money".[11]
- Glint may be traded with commodities vendors for player commodities. These commodities can then be transported to other nodes (via caravan or merchant ship) where they can be traded for gold.[6][9][3][4][5] The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node (over the last seven days) as well as its distance from the originating node.[8][6]
- Glint will drop as stolen glint on a character's death, based on applicable death penalties.[6][18][19][3][20] Glint taken from caravan wreckages is also classed as stolen.[22] Stolen glint is not bound and may be redeemed for less than its original value at black market locations.[6][18]
- Glint may be used to pay housing taxes and citizen dues.[16][6][7]
- Glint can be stored within node warehouses.[3]
- Glint is not intended as crafting materials.[7]
