Full Caravans Guide

Understanding the Caravan System

Caravans are player-operated vehicles designed to move trade goods across the world in Ashes of Creation. They become accessible once a node reaches the Village stage (Stage 3) or higher, where players can interact with Caravan Master NPCs at caravansary buildings to initiate their trade.

Buying Commodities

First you will have to make sure you have some Glint in order to purchase the caravan goods. Once you do, go to the Commodity Vendor located in the node village and buy them.

Starting The Caravan

Next, you will have to get to the Caravansary building to begin the actual caravan trade run. This is where you can adjust your caravan and add specific caravan equipment to increase the caravan stats like its resistances, speed and cargo layout. This is also where you begin the caravan itself, creating it and allowing you to start moving.

Caravan Chassis - This is the caravan part that dictates your caravan's HP and armor along with magic resistance. However, the Chassis also increases the capacity width of the caravan, allowing you to fit more commodities into the caravan and more importantly, adjust the way they stack in the empty places.

Caravan Carriage - Just like the Caravan Chassis, the Carriage also dictates your caravan HP, armor and magic resistance. It also increases the capacity height, helping you fit in more and different trade commodities.
