One of the most important aspects to playing Rocket League is learning how to be a good trader. Because let’s be honest, good players are always going to end up being good traders. Good traders know fair prices, what tools to use to determine those prices, and how to spot a good deal. Good traders can take these methods and use them to gain credits by buying an item for X amount of credits and selling it for Y amount of credits. There’s no secret that’s going to get you to 1,000,000 credits in a day. It takes genuine focus and hard work to get good at trading. But if you dedicate yourself, it doesn’t take much time to learn how to get the most bang for your buck (or credit). Here’s what I learned that will help you…
Tip #1: Go where the trades are
Most people who want to get into rocket league trading don’t even know where to start, which is okay because its not like Rocket League is openly broadcasting this information to you. We are going to dissect it based on what platform you play on. Starting off, if you play on XBOX One, Microsoft gives you an open trading platform. If you are on the Rocket League home screen, you’ll want to hit the home button on your remote and scroll down to the Rocket League tab. To the right of it should be a button that has a ribbon and an Xbox remote. Click on that button to the right of the Rocket League tab and you’ll open the club tab for Rocket League from there, you will use the RB to scroll over two tabs and you’ll see thousands of people who post trades they want there.
Now if you are any platform you can use the website https://rocket-league.com/trading. On this website you can select your platform and what you want to trade. Once you hit search, you’ll see gamer tags of people who fit your search query and you can hit them up on your respective platform. Note that this method will take more time because the person you are trading with may not be online when you are.
Tip #2: Know the Lingo
Okay so you’ve found a trade. But this is just the beginning. Now you have to execute with lighting fast efficiency. The only problem is, there’s a lot of terms you’ll need to know before you get into a party with another trader, so here’s a brief run down…
- BM – Black Market
- NCR – Non-Crate Rare
- NCVR – Non-Crate Very Rare
- TW – Titanium White
- SB – Sky Blue
- FG – Forest Green
- BS – Burnt Sienna
- BMGE – Black Market Goal Explosion
- Diss – Dissolver
- Main – Mainframe
- C – Credit(s)
- BP – Blue Print
- W – Want
- H – Have
- N – Need
- Low Ball – an insulting cheap offer for a good item.
These are just a few of the definitions of some terms that will be helpful to know. Throwing these terms around will help you be taken more serious and appear more experience than you are. These aren’t too hard to memorize and should be committed to memory right away.
Tip #3: Do what you came to do
A lot of Rocket League traders go into trades looking for anything and end up settling for a bad deal. This is a terrible idea and almost always ends in a loss. My advice, make a plan. If you came to get a Tora for 400 or less credits, do it! If the other end tries to raise the price, leave the game. Remember that you have a plan. You have to stick to you plan, and you will NEVER take losses. At this point you’ve found the trade and know the terms to discuss a trade. Now you have to accomplish your goals. You don’t owe anyone anything. If they don’t have what they said they did, you don’t give them another second. Remember that there are tens of thousands of other players and trades to be made every hour. Just move on until you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Tip #4: Repeat!
You have 4 steps to completing trades successfully! But one last thing. http://www.rocketprices.com . That’s where you will find the prices of items if you aren’t trading for credits. Use this as much as possible, because knowing the prices is going to be your biggest advantage.
So you have an efficient process… use it!
