Marketplace

You can buy resources from other players, from the Buy tab in the Marketplace, where you can see all the offers currently available.

To filter the offers so that they fit your needs, you can select what resource you are searching for by clicking on the corresponding button. The same also works for what you want to offer.

You can see your resources from the sell tab, here you can place your own offers and wait for them to be accepted by other players.

To make an offer, select what you want to sell as well as the quantity, and then what you want in return, including how much. By adding these values, you'll see what the rate is and how many of your merchants will be needed for this offer.

If you don't want your merchant(s) to be out for too long, you should set the maximum time of transport. The time here is indicated in hours, so if you enter the value 5, then only players whose merchants will need less than five hours will be able to accept your offer.

When you need a specific resource type and don't want to wait for trades or other sources of resources, you can use the NPC merchant. The NPC merchant can instantly trade resources at a 1:1 ratio and balance out your resources. For this, a fee of 5 Gold is needed.

If you want to use the NPC merchant to build a building or train troops, you can simply go to the item you want to build, select it and click on "Exchange resources automatically for 5 Gold" (this option is only shown when you have enough resources). The resources will then be redistributed automatically.

If you still want to do it manually but with the required resource ratio, you can also use the "Manually adjusted resource exchange" button shown above the automatic button.

When training troops, the NPC merchant button will show you a preview of how much more troops you'll be able to train if you use the NPC merchant. Unlike with buildings, an automatic exchange won't happen, but the merchant is still highly effective as the merchant will use the appropriate resource ratio. You can simply adapt it to have the best result.

You can use the locks to keep the value of one or two resources fixed. This way, you can use the remaining sliders, and the exchange will only take into account the resources that aren't locked.

To set up a trade route, you'll need to have bought the "Travian Plus" premium package. When you have this package, you can set up a new trade route to one of your own villages or wonder of the worlds.

When setting up a trade route, you can define what resources and how many are sent. Just like when sending resources, you'll see how many merchants are required, and you can select one of your villages using the list button and set up the repetitions.

With the merchant schedule, you can define the time when the merchants should start sending the resources. By clicking on the "+" button, you can add a new timer for the merchants. There is no "+" button for this in the app, but there you can select the time right away by tapping on the hour. This timer considers how long the route of the merchant is and adjusts the intervals accordingly. You can add as many timers as you want in the 24 hours of the merchant schedule. The merchants will then start their trade at the defined time, even if you're offline.

Here you can see all the movements of your merchants and gain an overview of what's happening in the merchants tab

You can see where your merchants are going, what they're carrying, and how long it will take until they reach their destination. The same information is displayed for merchants from other players that are sent to you and for your returning merchants. The returning merchants also show you what you sent.

This is also the place to go when you want to instantly finish a trade movement to one of our own villages.
