So I started playing RO a couple of days ago. I read a few guides and they pretty much all say to make a merch for selling things to other players. I rolled one up and he is about to be job lvl 50. His skills are:

Vending 10
Overcharge 10
Discount 10
Pushcart 10
+ Weight Limit 5
Item Appraisal 1

His stats are:
str 25
agi 60
vit 1
int 1
dex 30
luc 1

I am assuming that is the best setup for a vendor. I have a few questions though. Should I leave him at Merchant 50? Or is job changing him beneficial somehow for vendoring? Also I read that things like Iron Ore, Phaerecon, Poison Spores and Orcish Voucher's are good to farm for vending to players. However I don't see anyone selling any of them. Usually people are selling weapons/armor/healing items/wings/cards/etc.. Should I be going for that stuff instead?

Thanx for any info!

I would have sacrificed the 2 points from Overcharge (most of your zeny doesn't come from NPCing crap anyway) to get IWL 10, but it's not terribly important as a vendslave.

Make sure the list of items worth selling you're reading is up to date. Phracon is npc junk (sold by npc). Iron Ore, PSpores, and orc vouchers will all sell for more than they NPC for, generally a few hundred to 1k each - there's a huge list of items like that. Some of them sell faster than others - if you pick the ones that are in demand (see what people are offering buy shops for, then vend those items, at 50-100% more than their buy shop). I've been a bit inactive on the market front, so I'm not sure what the best options are nowadays, though.

I tend to have a lot of skill points left over for alchemist / blacksmith skills, and I put those into "increase weight limit" which is nice for vending as Azzy said. I personally choose pretty one-dimensional builds for alch / BS though because I only made those characters to be slaves (potting, greed, whatever) anyway.

Some friends level up their vend slaves to 2nd class just for a nicer vend sprite. That's madness in my opinion, but to each his own.

Although, I tend to get overweight a lot on my main vendors, SP doesn't regen and I have a tiny SP pool, so I DO run out of SP!!! Being a high level is nice for that since you'd have to cast "vend" a lot of times before running out of SP with a much larger SP pool.
