The difference between the two trade systems, and how to best use them.
Hello, as all of us know, the new trade system has been added, or fixed rather in the guild trades system, and I will point out the difference between both types here.
As of right now, there are two different ways to trade amongst your guild mates, and one is the free forge point system, and the other is the pay 1 forge point system.

Option #1 Forge Point Free Guild Trade
To make a trade that does not cost a forge point to the person that accepts it is fairly easy, and I will give you step by step instructions on this.
First off, with this system, there is a trade ratio cap that is between 0.5, and 2, this was put in because it is a way to limit the multi-accounters from abusing the system, and if it is used right, it is really not that big of a deal.
To start a trade you must first have a good to trade with, Duh, , but I thought I would go ahead, and point that out.
Next open up the trade menu by clicking this button:
Once the trade menu is open click on the Create Offer tab:
Here is where you choose what you want, and what you offer for it.
When you make an offer for the guild to see only, you must check this box:
So set a trade up, I will do 5 lumber for 5 dye for an example:
Now when someone accepts my offer, it will show that they would receive my 5 lumber for their 5 dye, and will not show a forge point cost
I used another player's trade to show what I mean.
Please note that to use the guild only feature you must stay within the trade ratio of 0.5 and 2, if not you will get this:

Option #2 Forge Point Trading With Guild, and Neighbors.
This method also has the 0.5 to 2 ratio cap, and will cost one forge point for the other person to accept it if they are not in your guild, guild mates still get this trade forge point free.
This method also requires you to have a good to trade, lol.
Again, start by opening up the trade menu by clicking the trade button pointed out in option 1.
Click on the Create Offer tab as pointed out in option 1.
Here is of course where you set what you want, and what you offer.
On this option you should leave this box unchecked:
With this unchecked your guild can still see the trade, and your neighbors can as well.
Now to set up a trade, be sure to stay within the 0.5 to 2 ratio here as well.
Now when someone accepts this offer, it will show that they will receive the goods, and it will cost them 1 forge point to accept this trade if they are a neighbor, and nothing if they are a guild mate of yours.

Now I will point out the ways of using these two different trade systems. The guild only trade is for you to set certain trades up for your guild mates, with this the forge point cost is 0, and your neighbors can not see them. The open market system is so you can trade with your neighbors, but your guild mates can still take the trades as well, but if a neighbor accepts the trade, he will pay the 1 forge point, and a guild mate will not.
Thanks for reading this guys, and girls, and I hope I have made this as clear as possible for people to understand it.
I will add to it as things change throughout the growth of the game.
