Also, if you've noticed that I haven't been editing pages recently, that's because I am still trying to complete all the trader information for the mod. I've been spending about 5 hours a day for the last week compiling information for all the traders that I have not completed yet. (If you don't know what I am talking about here, I mean the list of items and price ranges of each trader that I have already done for about 6 or 7 traders in the mod. Like the Galadhrim Trader and the Near Harad Merchant.) That's great! How do you do it? I will help you then. Essentially I make a superflat world and dig 1 x 2 holes everywhere and place a certain trader in each. I then give myself the minimun alignment to trade with them and go through at least 200 traders, writing down all the items they buy and sell and the price ranges for them. Each trader takes about 5-7 hours to do.

I've tested and completely finished every single trader except the Near Harad Plant Trader. So if you want to do that one then feel free. There are a few that I have collected the information but I have not put onto the wiki yet as coding a table takes forever. But as you offered to do one I'll get started on writing the ones that I have done but have not put onto the wiki.

I'll list them here so you guys can check if I haven't missed any.

On wiki in tables already: Galadhrim Trader, Uruk-Hai Trader, Mordor Trader, Blue Mountains Merchant, Merchant of Near Harad, Blacksmith of Rohan, Blacksmith of Gondor, Hobbit Orchader, Hobbit Farmer.

Already done but not yet on wiki: Near Harad Drinks, Mineral and Food Traders, Blue Mountains Miner, Dwarf Miner, Hobbit Bartender, Dunlending Bartender, Rohan Meadhost.

Not done at all: Near Harad Plant Trader

To give you an idea on what I found was the easiest way to set out the information when you are collecting it here is an example of what I wrote out for the hobbit bartender. On the left is items sold and on the right is items bought.

If you do get the info for the Plants trader then just ask and I can show you how to make a table the same as all the others that I have made.
