merchant trade

[Gettyn]

when a player takes one of your merchant trades would be great to show which goods were taken, so the same goods can be put back in the merchant

? They ARE shown..in the notifications popup when you click on it.

plus, look at your goods storage and make a decision about what sort of trade to place?

notifications tells me someone has traded with me NOT what the trade was, I want to replace that trade as I may have 5 combinations of trades. if someone took a trade maybe that person will take more of the same trades

The mobile version shows both who and what.

My preference is to simply delete anything that didn't sell, and repost a full spread. See https://us.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/ideal-trading-partners.31347/post-261903

^^For Standard and Sentient Goods, this is true on browser as well.
Sentient Goods are traded differently than Standard Goods: they are traded across the entire server/world without regard to whether they are discovered neighbors or FS members. Other trading mechanics remain the same as Standard Goods.
Back to the topic of the thread:
This is a discussion/idea about Ascended Goods introduced in Ch 18. The entire mechanism for trading Ascended Goods is different than either Standard or Sentient Goods. You have a maximum of 5 merchants available to rent for either coins or diamonds for 20 days. You can only place 5 trades at a time, fewer if you aren't using diamonds. Your trade amounts are limited to amounts determined by your Main Hall level and the ratio between goods is controlled by the merchant. You get your goods immediately from the merchant, but the merchant does not return to your city until the trades have either been taken by another player or the trades expire.
Player sending out the merchant has already received the goods, and if no other player picks up that trade, it can be 6hrs before the trader returns to their city. I can see why they'd forget what trade they made, or if they're making different trades with different merchants, not even knowing which trade was taken. Getting the info on the goods/amounts that were offered and given would be helpful when the merchant returns, at least for someone like me who has trouble remembering what they had for breakfast this morning...
