I was trying to get the mercantile lesson, but I am missing 200 duncats to 1k. Could someone help me? I don't mind donation:hypno:

But if someone could teach me how to earn duncats and pursue outlaws, that would be very helpful too. My In-game name is: BakaTurq, I'm usually on Channel 4

Sadly you can't give/donate ducat but you can trade items that you can buy with ducats.

Pursue outlaw seems to be the best if you are strong enough to take them down. Kill them, get bandit badges, trade them for ducats. However once you get a cart/wagon, regular commerce will be better. Sell stuff that gives you the most profit. Keep in mind that more expensive your items get, the stronger bandits will be.

For now, just carry a bag with profitable goods and walk around maps :>

Equip any knuckles. You'll get a quest that rewards you with over 3k ducats.

You have to walk around the map. You'll see these half-invisible bandits, and when you get close to them, a group of bandits will spawn.

I don't know what server you're on, but if you're in Alexina, you should be on channel 1 if you want to get help.

As a sidenote, I don't know what level you are, but I assume you're level is low. That being said, those bandits might be a bit hard for you so if you feel that you need help, take someone with you.

After you kill these bandits, they have a chance to drop outlaw homestead pass. It takes you to a mini shadow mission, which takes place inside bandit homestead. Once you're there, just kill everything, and you're done.

Bandit hunting and commerce share bandit spawns, but only commerce populates the map with ambushes. To repopulate the map, grab one of the cheapest items and run around the map until you've spawned a few ambushes. Then cancel the trade and hunt the outlaws.

But since you have so little ducats in the first place, it would be better if you had someone else helping spawn the bandits, or did your hunting during peak hours when other people would be commercing anyway.
