Answered Chapter 18 merchant whY2K?

[Jake65]

I've just started using a merchant and I'm limited to 2k trades. I see larger trades on offer though.
Do these come from later research or the second and third merchants?
I'm reluctant to spend half my main hall coin capacity to find out

The amount you can trade is based on your main hall level. With a level 41 main hall it raises to 2200.
