Smuggler Daily Good Profit

So I've been doing smuggling for awhile now and it seems that profit for the daily good is not quite doubled. It feels more along the lines of 1.5x base profit. I'll have to compare my ducat balance before and after a smuggle to confirm...

Are we sure that the profit increase is a static value? Could it instead be a variable that changes randomly, or based on how many people smuggled in that day?

Or perhaps the profit increase is double the base sell price, instead of the fluctuating prices.

Hmm, seems possible, but it's my belief that it's a static value based on your ducat profit. Doesn't seems randomized to me. It's definitely around 1.5x multiplied.

I'm going to be merchant destiny soon, so I'll be able to look into it a bit then.

If you're already merchant destiny, it would be helpful if you could post some stats about what you're smuggling.

Buy price: Sell price: Net Profit: Distance: (which town to which town)

I don't think it's multiplying your profit... my friend traded 38 Ogre Executioner Masks to him with 40 profit each, but recieved 12K profit rather than, 2K...

Did you take into account the cost to purchase the 38 masks?

Might've been the case, since it was his first time smuggling.

All righty, I've finally decided to record one of my smuggling trips. I was carting circle barriers to byrun for an estimated 18.7k profit (exactly 18,700) and I had 2,467,756 ducats. The base profit I should have made would give me 2,486,456 ducats. With smuggler daily bonus I made 2,495,806 ducats. Subtracted from my starting cost that's a 28,050 profit. Half of the base profit (9350) added to base profit (18,700) gives 28,050 ducats, so my guess about the profit being multiplied by 1.5x is spot-on correct. Editing info now.

EDIT: Aw jeez, someone beat me to it. Ah well. At least I could confirm it. XD

Thanks Pyro, good job!
