Merchant info should be extracted and put in a new guide. Should be linked with the trading guide. More info can be added.

In this gide is an Mistake. There is whritten:
What rates does the Merchant Trade at and why?
The merchant trades at or near the 3:2:1 ratio. It generally is within 0.6 of that range and the difference is not in your favor most of the time. The reason it charges you slightly different as it wants to make a profit just like a human, yet at the same time it is trying to make up for the unbalanced in the building which is supposed to be 3:2:1.
Korret ist, that the best ratio is 3:2:1, in avarge you get 0.9 of this an if your are verry unluky ist could be upt to 0.7 of this.
