Trading is surprising, isn’t it? Realizing there’s a whole community that focuses exclusively on inventories. Hundreds of thousands of hours spent on websites and Discord servers, checking price rises, falls, and peaks on items you didn’t even know existed. Beautiful. You got your non-crate aficionados, your black market mafia, and the collectors looking for every item in every colour.<\/p>\n
Trading in Rocket League is complex, except that it isn’t and I’ll tell you everything you need to know to become a master trader in no time.<\/p>\n
First of all, you are going to need some vocabulary for this one, so let’s take a trip back to the classroom for some basic verbiage in the trading community. This way, you’ll never get caught out of the loop and you can start abbreviating everything in front of your parents while using MySpace. MySpace’s still a thing, right? Right?<\/p>\n
After getting all that out of the way, trading is just a matter of getting another person into your Rocket League Party, hovering over their name, clicking “Invite to Trade” and if they accept, you will be prompted with this screen. You place the items you want to give away. You see the items they are offering.<\/p>\n When an agreement is reached, they click their start button or hit accept. Don’t worry, the trade will not go through until you also click accept and that’s trading.<\/p>\n Of course, that’s trading if it was invented for monkeys, but we are businessmen. Stick around to find out everything you need to know and even everything you never even questioned about Rocket League’s trading world.<\/p>\n Your worth or potential in the trading community is totally based on the inventory you have available to trade.<\/p>\n If you are a F2P player, don’t stress. Drops are enabled every week with challenges, after every five XP levels or so with the Free Rocket Pass, and during some RLCS events with Fan Rewards<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can kickstart your trading career with any of those and if you get lucky, someone will have posted to Rocket League Garage<\/a> that they are looking for something that just dropped to your inventory. <\/p>\n If you are an experienced player and you’re late to the trading party; I’ve got a surprise for you, pal. Even a year of casual play can translate into a fortune in items and for your sake and mine, please: check everything on RLInsider<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Everything. <\/strong><\/p>\n This goes to any new trader, new player or not: Do not trade away stuff just because you’re desperate. Know your worth.<\/p>\n Because if there is a rule number one in-game, there is a rule number one in trading, and that is that every inventory is worth at least 1000cr.<\/p>\n Something in there is being looked for by someone out there and that first sale can get you from item number one to item number two, so on and so forth until you save enough for your first Rocket Pass. <\/p>\n But Mitch, I just made my first 1000cr, I want a Titanium White Octane. I don’t want to waste all my time and effort to get banners and antennas. Well, my beloved Bronze, Rocket Pass is step number one in our Operation Trading Domination. Let me show you.<\/p>\n If you are a try-hard Rocket League player and a completionist like me, you will have tackled every possible and available Weekly and Season Challenge since Rocket League went F2P<\/a>.<\/p>\n You did? Awesome, because that’s part two of our gameplan: investing.<\/p>\n The Rocket Pass is the best thing since sliced bread because it is slow, but a steady gold mine. You get two drops (Free and Premium) with every XP Level you reach, but it costs 1000cr to get all your Premium drops unlocked.<\/p>\n Up until Level 110 of the Free Rocket Pass, you get an Uncommon, Rare, or Very Rare drop every level or so, but if you purchase the Premium Rocket Pass you get a drop every XP Level you reach. Although they are not tradeable amongst players until after Level 70.<\/p>\n You also get Drops of 100cr from the Premium Rocket Pass every time you reach one of these XP Levels:<\/p>\n And yes, I did the math. You get exactly 1000cr back. Remember those Weekly and Season Challenges I mentioned? They help you Level up faster. Also, with the Premium Rocket Pass you get double the weekly and season challenges to claim XP.<\/p>\n Also, the Premium Rocket Pass boosts your every-match gained XP by 80%. Oh, and not only do you make your credits back, but you also call sell your painted pass items as they are very sought after. <\/p>\n The Rocket Pass is a gold mine and should be your very first investment after getting your first 1K. Even if you don’t get good painted pass items, you can always use them as leverage or adds to close deals, but more on that later.<\/p>\n The sooner you get your hands on new items, the better. That is so you have the higher ground on the trades when the items are at their most sought after, and most likely the highest priced. This also applies to the pass items so remember to save for next season as well!<\/p>\n Which brings me to my last point: customers. We are nothing without them. Here is a list of the very common characters you will run into and how to play your cards just right:<\/p>\n The Non-Crate Guy:<\/strong> Let’s get something clear first. Non-Crates, in short, are items that can go into your inventory and trade into the game for another random item. A set of five non-crates profits one item of the next rarity. The list of rarities goes like this, from least rare to most rare:<\/p>\n
