Good Trade items

[Twilightinferno]

In my current game I’m playing a drow eldritch disciple and I recently became the leader of about 100 drow refugees that have fled the underdark and was able to convince the local lord to let them settle in his lands. I’m planning to use them to set up a trade company and trade between the surface and underdark to make a fortune but I’m trying to figure out good items to trade.

[Nifft]

Gems.

Metals.

Spider silk armor.

Feycraft magic weapons.

Tame giant monstrous spiders as pets.

[Twilightinferno]

What would be good items from the surface to trade those for?

[Nifft]

From the surface?

Cloth: wool / linen / cotton / (non-spider) silk.

Food: preserves / nuts / dried beans / cured meats.

Wood.

Salt.

War slaves captured from enemy states.

Interesting surface monsters.

Erotic fan-fiction.

Magic items.

Alcohol.

[weckar]

Wood and sunlight-requiring crops are probably the big ones.
It really depends on who in the underdark you are planning to trade with.

Spices, booze, and timber go down. Minerals, metals, exotic critters come up.
