found out the trick of merchant titles =)
just got to sell the items 1by1 (ye, lotsa clicking)
when i tried the first few times i used CTRL+click to sell the items and havent got the titles even after selling a way more then needed.

;o I'll try it w/ broken bones or something.

I got my merchant titles with...well the trick was going to get out any way..Float Stones! Sold 1 by 1 by 1 to the npc till I sold well err...alot! It cost me a bit too. :o

so it is selling to npc or opening a shop to sell to player?

You got to sell them to the npc 1 by 1. No Stacks just clicking. :D

Ahhh! Here's the pic.

flood with right clicks eh? i think i can do that i harvest alot till full bags =D
anyone wan me help can ask =D

ok 1st sry for double posting
i sold tons of stuff
and i didnt get it T_T
2bags worth of stuff n i gotten 5s for selling them to npc i think

ya, while we were trying to make this out on our own, the Wiki got the right info already :)
what matters is not the 'worth' of the items, but the plain number.
500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 items for the four merchant titles.
got to sell them to an npc one by one without logging off.

i'm just using the price as a small counter as i didnt count
it's like 3c each per time
3 or 4 per item hmm...
u need to buy 100 floation stones n that costy to me T_T

-Edits as i dont wanna double post-
Here's the maths den
250c per 50floatation stone
5k stones needed
100 bulk of it
250 x 100 = 25000c = 25s needed
it's a "buy ur title"
note u get back 1/2 the money for selling back i think
but just prepare 25s to buy all at 1 shot
so u dont have to buy sell buy sell

or.. just make a new char and get it to lv10. you should have some a good ammount of materials asides the ones you need for yourself. sure its taking longer but meh. make a fighter, give it a shield scroll and hammer away :)
edit FTW
you get 1/5 back. buy for 5c, sell for 1c. 20s all in all
