You will need to choose one of the eight family trades to occupy your parents and siblings while you are on the road. When you return home, you can get trade-specific items from your family. Consider starting eight characters to cram your town with every item-gaining opportunity possible. When you create your character, you will select one of eight family trades. The one you choose can have a big impact on your inventory over time. Your family will ask you to send gifts in your letters from afar. If you send back items that pertain to the family trade, you will get a big payoff in due time. You will not find many towns or tradespeople on your journey. Visit your family (and other families in your town) for rare opportunities to trade.
