Inspecting the Goods is a Quest in New World MMORPG. Objective: Open the Trading Post and view the available Buy and Sell orders
To begin, this is a Trading Post. Each settlement across Aeternum holds one, as it is how commerce is conducted here. Without one, life becomes... difficult.
Now, travelers like you can place Buy and Sell orders in the Trading Post for whatever you may want, or have. Other travelers can view those orders, and choose to purchase what you've posted for sale, or fulfill your request with the materials you need.
It is far easier to show you. Take a look for yourself and see what is available... perhaps something you have collected along the way is needed by another.
As I said... Look at the Trading Post for yourself, and see what is available. If what you desire is coin, this is the way to best acquire it.
You can follow instructions, which is better than some I've had to deal with. There may be hope for you yet.
Check in on the Trading Post now and again, and if you're smart with your wallet, you may grow your own fortune. Oh, and don't worry about the safety of your transactions. Part of my responsibility to the settlement is to ensure the security of the exchange, along with gathering the necessary taxes from the transaction.
