Trading and item pricing: Difference between revisions

'''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.

In Explorer difficulty, the difficulty modifier is 0.5, meaning all characters receive a 20% favorable bonus to prices. If a character is proficient in [[Persuasion]], they receive an additional Proficiency modifier depending on their level. This increases the persuasion modifier.

In Tactician difficult, the difficulty modifier is -0.5, meaning all characters receive a 20% price penalty.

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.
