"Bargain With Other Shoppers" is a trade. True.
But, there is NOT any trade called "Bargain With Other Planners".

"Planners" is how the TEXT in the Kingdom Goal "Supermarket Sweep" REFERS to the "Bargain With Other Shoppers" trade.
That text does not claim that "Planners" is in the name, though there is nuance present that may seem a little confusing to ESOL speakers.

The trade time & supplies are different. I wrote this nugget after the weeding quest line.

[zernzid]

Dear, ShibuyaCloth. Thanks to share your nugget. I love it :)

I think...(s)He seems to say, not that you're wrong.
(s)He just wanted to say that the name seems to be not different.

20590
20591

IMO, different trade name is better to distinguish.

[ShibuyaCloth]

OK, thanks for the the tip. I will amend the nugget. But I will hold two different names to avoid confusion.

[zernzid]

Look at this..

first collection from magic garden in my second kingdom.

20594

20595


I had 36 ticket before that change.

20596

The trigger of 'Rare Fruit trade' seems that it has changed.

[ShibuyaCloth]

It changes after you do 5 Fruit Trades, not 5 Trades. So you can have a large pile of tickets before it upgrades, assuming you don't touch the fruit trade.

I didn't other trade, because my second kingdom is very poor. :rolleyes:
So, I could trade the fruit trade.(only) :o

[ShibuyaCloth]

Hmmm, then I don't know what triggers the change. Did you harvest Glimmerbulb?

[zernzid]

Glimmerblub? Sorry, i don't remember that clearly. It seems not...:confused:
I had planted two crops always that times. (strawberries and sugar canes)

Maybe... triggers by 'glimmerbulb?' or 'magic fruit'? I'm curious too.
But, I'm sure that trade is changed by 'first collection from magic garden' not performed 5 fruit trade.

I hope to, TL must announce these changed things.

Anyway, I grateful to you and I'm sorry I didn't help. :(

[ShibuyaCloth]

Did you pet the Purple Cow? It give Glimmerbulds from time to time. Magic Fruits triggers the second update, it was the magic garden for me, but now we have a tree as well.

I didn't have but I had sir. piggy.
That time is the first activation of Magic Garden as resource building.

Funny I came across this thread....started a new account as I am a little bored at level 50.
As soon as I harvested a glimmer bulb, around level 20 maybe ..... i planted as soon as it came available, and instantly it upgraded my trade route....

So it must be a glimmerbulb that activates the upgrade. I will amend the trade to reflect this, but we cannot rule out that the initial trigger is disabled.

[ShibuyaCloth]

Boar pelts are used in trades as well, the bottle neck are manticore whiskers and boar tusks. Allways short of them. Same for Troll Horns.

[Lavenderdale]

So it must be a glimmerbulb that activates the upgrade. I will amend the trade to reflect this, but we cannot rule out that the initial trigger is disabled.

The "do five trades" upgrade happened when the Royal Exchange was introduced. My theory is that those of you who already had glimmerbulbs and magic fruit triggered the upgrade right away.

Due to a topic "what I wish I knew when I started playing," I delayed planting glimmerbulbs and opening the Magic Garden until I needed it for another questline. This allowed me to do the basic fruit trade for weeks, possibly months. Since it took less energy I got my tinker's camp and deed quickly. When I finally did glimmerbulbs and opened the magic garden, my trades were upgraded *instantly* (not five more trades) and I received 5 trade tickets.

I watched very carefully for this, due to the "warning," lol. I wasn't paying much attention to the Troll Hunter trade upgrade, unfortunately, but I imagine it is the same? The five trades limit might kick in if you already have the horns when you do the lower trade. I again got bumped with no warning, but got five trade tickets.

The trade with boar pelts, manticore whiskers and soft feathers is called the Elite Trapper trade. you mention the materials in a post but it isn't on your list. It may be the worst trade of all time - although the picture shows royal materials as the reward, in fact it gives you only the basic ones, wooden beams and stone blocks, lol. I somehow had 3 manticores and had to buy a swan, then realized the reward was not as pictured. A disappointment.

If you want, you could check your list against a certain place in my sig.

Can you still do those 2013 event stable master trades? There is a two-tier trade for the Sir Daisy quest, like the wedding one (a good trade for 24 hours, then a more expensive one that you do "at leisure" for MONTHS lol.) I believe it is called stable master. It's in the hub quest guide for Sir Daisy.
