'''Trading''' is a central mechanic in Baldur's Gate 3. Depend on which character is talking a given trader, including the trader's attitude to the character, the character's [[Persuasion]] skill level, and the difficulty setting of the game, a trade price multiplier is calculated. This multiplier is than applied to each item's inherent value, giving the prices for the character. | |||
== | == Modifiers == | ||
' | === Persuasion Skill Modifier === | ||
A character's [[Persuasion]] skill modifier affects prices. Positive modifiers will make prices more favorable (higher when selling, lower when buying) and vice-versa. Each Persuasion modifier point changes prices by 5%. In Explorer difficulty, characters receive an additional Persuasion modifier if they are proficient in Persuasion, as detailed below. | |||
=== Adventure (Game) Difficulty === | |||
Depending on the game difficulty set, the player receives certain advantages or disadvantages. | |||
==== Explorer difficulty ==== | |||
In Explorer difficulty, all characters receive a 20% bonus to prices. If a character is proficient in [[Persuasion]], they receive an additional Proficiency modifier depending on their level. | |||

A trader's [[Attitude]] score represents how friendly a trader NPC is with a certain character. Each point of Attitude modifiers prices by 0.25%. 100 Attitude has a 25% price adjustment compared to 0 Attitude. | |||
A trader's Attitude score | |||
Attitude is visible in the Trading interface under the trader model. Hovering on the meter displays the exact Attitude score. Attitude is per-character, and can be modified by friendly or hostile actions against an NPC. One of easiest ways to gain Attitude is by gifting [[Gold]] or other items to a trader using the Barter interface. The amount of gold required to gain attitude scales depending on the level of the character. | |||

== Talking Character == | |||
The trade price modifier is set depending on the character that initiatives dialogue with a trader. Even if the active inventory is switched in the trader screen, the first character's trade price modifier remains in use. It is thus a good idea to initiate all trade dialogues with the character that has the best trade multiplier. | |||
