Profession Overview

Merchants in SWG can be massive enterprises of galactic trade and commerce or they can be small shops of any kind of merchandise. The toolset of the merchant profession is intended to empower merchants to sell things in an efficient and continuous manner to large numbers of users.



Merchant experience can be obtained in 3 different ways.


  • Experience is generated at a rate of 150 experience per hour, for each vendor in use.


  • Access fees - Every time someone who is not listed on the Entry Permission of a structure tries to enter, it prompts them to pay the amount that the merchant has set up. If they pay it they are granted access for the time period designated and the structure's owner is given 50 Merchant XP. Once their access time is up, they are then booted out of the structure and may re-enter. The Structure owner is only allowed to earn experience in this manner once from the same person once every 10 minutes.


  • Vendor Usage - Each person who visits a vendor and views the contents will grant the vendor owner 50 xp. The limitation to this is that an individual cannot generate Merchant XP for the merchant more often than once every 10 minutes.
