In the previous article, I discussed in detail how the bonus system works and how to identify a profitable or a losing product. In this article, we will try to take a shortcut for all players who prefer concise information over long explanations. Here is the method in its simplest form:

1. Visit this website: https://arcana.warera.wiki/

2. Select: Wage Compendium

3. Scroll down to see which product allows you to set the highest wage.

We will notice that Steel holds the first place with a wage of 0.132, followed by Lead with a wage of 0.130.

In short, these are the most profitable products in the market at the current moment, dated April 11th at 11 PM.

Quick Summary:

• Steel is the most profitable. Even if you buy the raw materials from the market and sell the Steel without producing Iron in your own companies, you will still make a profit.

• This is the current profit for Steel with a Level 4 AE (1st Place).

• This profit is calculated after deducting the cost of buying Iron.
  

  

• This is the current profit for Lead with a Level 4 AE (3rd Place).
  

  

At this point, you can stop reading and move on to another article because the main idea is finished. What follows is for those who enjoy extra information.

Why is Iron in second place for profit value after Steel, yet I didn't mention it?

Simply put: The bonus for Iron is temporary, my friend, and that is the main issue. In my personal opinion—and you are free to agree or disagree with me, as these are all different strategies—you should not rely on any product that has a countdown timer on its bonus for your trade.

Why am I convinced of this idea?

• Aside from the fact that you lose roughly 7.5 Gold in region transfer fees every time the timer expires, that isn't even the main reason.

• When the time ends, you are forced to move to another region for a new bonus (or the same one). This creates a deficit in your gold ratio as mentioned before. If you have workers in your factory, there will be an imbalance between the gold coming in and the cost of the workers. Literally, if you were winning with a 60% bonus that was temporary and you had 4 workers active, you might wake up in the morning to pay each one their salary and find the bonus gone. The profit will flip into a loss. To avoid these problems entirely, stay away from any product with a temporary bonus and focus on permanent bonuses

The final reason is that I am an Egyptian citizen, and Lead is currently among the top 3 products in terms of profitability. I expect it to rise significantly in the coming period. The difference might not be very clear because prices are close, but this is indeed one of the reasons I mentioned Lead as a profitable commodity in the market.

A Tip Aside from the Article:
You can hire employees in raw material companies only, because their bonuses are permanent and not volatile like manufactured goods. Since industries like Steel, Cooked Fish, and Bread are volatile in price, we won't place employees there. Employees are a double-edged sword: you either profit from them, or you are essentially being robbed without even realizing it.

Stay safe, citizens of all nations.
