Merchant Authority — What Opens Up as Your Rank Rises
How to raise the authority rank you build separately in each nation, and how your mana stone trading limit and the goods you can buy grow with your rank.
Last updated 2026-09-29
What Is Authority Rank?
Authority rank shows how large a deal a merchant can take on in a nation, and it rises separately in each nation, from rank 1 up to rank 20. You can check your authority rank in the nation you are currently in from the character info at the top of the game screen.
How to Earn Experience
Selling at a profit at the markets of a nation's cities earns authority experience according to the profit, and completing challenge contracts earns it according to their difficulty. The higher your rank, the more experience you need to reach the next one.
Mana Stone Trading Limit
The amount of mana stones you can handle in a single trade or exchange grows with your authority rank in that nation.
| Authority rank | Mana stones per transaction |
|---|---|
| From rank 1 | 5 |
| From rank 5 | 20 |
| From rank 10 | 60 |
| From rank 15 | 150 |
| From rank 20 | 400 |
Goods You Can Buy as Your Rank Rises
In each nation, some goods can be bought at the market only after your authority rank rises. The list below is taken directly from the game data and shows, for each nation, the rank from which each item can be bought; goods available from rank 1 are not listed. The ranks required for recipes are in the “Recipe Book”.
