Gold trade limit

[Alexandre]

So I crafted a FD Plate(566 FD) and I want to know what the maximum amount of gold you can put in the trade window. Research shows 410-420k, can someone confirm?

[Zengeroff]

420k is the maximum you can have at any given time in your bank or inventory. 420k each, to be clear.

Lets say you currently have 38,863 gold in your inventory, you could only sell accept 381,137 gold for any given purchase.

And if you're over a certain threshold, you cant even open eggs.

What about guild storage? And how do people trade items worth over 420k safely?

[Zengeroff]

No idea about guild storage. Probably the same I'd imagine.

Do multiple gold trades and have a "mule" character just to hold gold.

[MomoeNagisa]

Max trade is around 410-412k, can't remember. There's a hefty trade tax for completing such a trade, so you can't trade the entire 420k inventory gold cap.

To trade over 420k, there are generally two methods:
1) Trust trading, or trading in several trades [not recommended at all]
2) Trading collateral [recommended]. Say you're doing a 600k trade. Buyer has the 600k gold, Seller has the 600k item. One person would need to put up collateral in an initial trade.

-Situation 1: Seller has collateral
Trade 1: Seller offers 200k worth of an easy-to-sell item, and Buyer trades 200k gold for it.
Intermission: Both parties store or withdraw gold from storage.
Trade 2: Buyer trades the 200k worth of items + 400k gold for the 600k item.
If either person leaves after the first trade, then the Buyer is stuck with 200k in easy-to-sell items, but can sell the items back for 200k gold (more or less) on the marketplace or something.

-Situation 2: Buyer has collateral
Trade 1: Buyer offers 400k gold and 200k worth of easy-to-sell items for the 600k item.
Intermission: Both parties store or withdraw gold from storage.
Trade 2: Buyer buys back the 200k worth of items from the first trade for 200k.
If either person leaves after the first trade, then the Seller is stuck with 200k in easy-to-sell items, but can sell the items back for 200k gold (more or less) on the marketplace or something.

Thanks for this. It will help a lot!
