-	*Merchants will ask you to retrieve a particular '''class''' of item, not a specific item . If a merchant stocks a specified object of 'Bowl of Fruit' and the actual fruit in question can be random within the object specification, any bowl of fruit will do, provided it has the same object specification. This can be challenging, since players can't see object specifications. If you're having trouble getting a specific item, make sure you're at the suggested vendor and buy anything that looks like it might be similar to the item.	+	*Merchants will ask you to retrieve a particular '''class''' of item, not a specific item.

	*Merchants will pay you a relatively static amount of gold as a reward for fulfilling an arbitrage opportunity. This means that you will generally turn a fairly consistent profit on inexpensive items, but might take a bath on expensive ones.

This means that you will generally turn a fairly consistent profit on inexpensive items, but might take a bath on expensive ones. The experience will usually be worthwhile, however.

-	*Merchants will generally grant greater experience for items from much further away. This is not measured in straight-line distance, but rather how difficult it is for '''your character''' to procure the item. In general, this means if you can retrieve an item very quickly from a distant location via teleportation or other shenanigans, you will gain fewer experience than a character who would have had to hoof it.

Ralnos: Removed the bit about assimilativity since assimiliativity (including the bonus from int+per) affects all experience gains, not just arbitrage gains. Also how quick you learn skills, if I recall right
