HWS Trader · HWS Guide | HWS Connect⁺

HWS Traders are player-owned traders: an owner puts together an item package and the server sells it to other players. A great way to earn passive income, and a quick way for buyers to get bundles of items. HWS Traders are not the same as the in-game NPC traders or the HWS Marketplace.

👉 HWS Connect → HWS Trader (NA players: /rn/trader)

🛒 For Buyers: How to Buy a Package

Be online in game on that server
Open HWS Trader and click a trader's row to see the full package
Click Buy (in the table or in the package window)
Enter How many times? you want to buy the package, then click Buy
"Items should be arriving in game any second now!" The game charges you and delivers the items into your inventory

Packages cost Credits + HWS DNA, as listed
Make sure you have enough free inventory slots and volume
60 seconds cooldown between HWS Trader purchases
Not possible on blocked or event playfields (including the Cross Server Warp sector), or while you take part in a player event
Packages can only be bought in PvE or in Trading Zones
Sellers can't buy their own packages
Check your Origin to see how many packages you can buy per day

💰 Rules & Pricing

Up to 49 item slots per trader. Amount per slot: 1 up to the item's stack size
Package contents can be changed once every 7 days
You can't set the price. The server calculates it: the sum of each item's market price × amount. Items without any known price count as 100,000,000 credits each, which makes a package extremely expensive
HWS DNA price = Credits price ÷ 75,000, rounded up (about 1 HWS DNA per 75,000 credits)
Sellers earn 50% of the full Credit value of each sale
Your trader stays active as long as you were online in the last 7 days (per server)
Maximum of 4 HWS Traders per server per player
Traders exist separately on each server
