Trade Orders and IOUs
His Majesty has recently had a need for some items more commonly found in the New World. Being the master of supply and demand that he is he's decided to task the collection of these items on Salemites and promises unlimited power, never-ending wealth, and plenty of luck to all those who assist him. The first 11 tasks given will simply yield between 1-5x Silver Pieces and act as a test to insure that He is only working with the most dedicated of pilgrims. Once a pilgrim completes their Entry Tasks then they can start receiving random Trade Orders from His Majesty. The harder the Trade Order the more IOUs His Majesty will award for its completion.
Clicking on His Majesty's son will give you a random Trade Order. This can be done once ever 12 hours and does NOT require any Trade Orders to be completed, so it is possible to be working on many Trade Orders at the same time, or get rid of ones that don't seem worth completing. Trade Orders can be stored in a Bark Binder. Materials can be placed into a Trade Order by selecting the item and right-clicking it on the Trade Order, but can NOT be removed even tho there is a "Take" option. A Trade Order or Evidence of Royal Conspiracy can be turned in by selecting your Trade Order and right-clicking it on His Majesty's son. This will put IOUs into your account.
Your IOU balance can be checked only once you have completed your Entry Tasks. To check your IOU balance right-click on the pedestal slightly to the North of His Majesty's Stall and select "Check Current Balance". Selecting "View Loyal Subjects" will show the IOU Leaderboard. NOTE: Your IOU balance will show both IOUs from completed Trade Orders and Evidence of Royal Conspiracies, however the Leaderboard only counts IOUs from completed Trade Orders. Fortunately, both IOUs function identically when used to purchase items through His Majesty's Stall.
