 Remember that the brokers fee doubles for each extra book in the same year and for Summa.
 You don't have a choice to refuse a book once ordered, so be careful in setting your limits. If you can't afford it, you automatically get a redcap loan for the balance.

		+	Please record all trades, loans and so on, in the Redcap Services channel of the Discord.
		+
		+	==== Loans ====
		+	Redcaps offer loans at 20% for Vis and Silver or as detailed in the HoH:TL book.
		+
		+	==== Vis Trading ====
		+
		+	Redcaps will trade Vis at the following rates:
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
		+	\|+ House Mercere Vis Trade Rates:
		+	\|-
		+	! PCs give !! House Mercere provides !! Example
		+	\|-
		+	\| 1 pawn of technique Vis (e.g. Creo) \|\| 1 pawn of any form Vis (e.g. Animal) \|\| 8 Muto for 8 Corpus
		+	\|-
		+	\| 2 pawns of form Vis (e.g. Corpus) \|\| 1 pawn of any form Vis (e.g. Ignem) \|\| 6 Aquam for 3 Intellego
		+	\|-
		+	\| 2 pawns of technique Vis (e.g. Muto) \|\| 1 pawn of any technique Vis (e.g. Intellego) \|\| 4 Intellego for 2 Creo
		+	\|-
		+	\| 4 pawns of form Vis (e.g. Vim) \|\| 1 pawn of any technique Vis (e.g. Creo) \|\| 4 Vim for 1 Rego
		+	\|}
		+
		+	====Purchasing Books:====
		+
		+	'''The process:'''
		+	IC to inform the Redcaps that your covenant would like to purchase a book. They must provide:
		+	* The topic you want
		+	* Any limits on what you will buy (e.g. "I want a Tractatus of Quality at least 10", "I don't want to pay more than 14 pawns for this Summa, as I wouldn’t be able to afford that."). If the book they find doesn’t fit this criteria they won’t buy it and will return empty handed.
		+	* A non-refundable broker's fee: (1 for the first book search in a year by a covenant, 2 for the second, 4 for the third and so on. The finder's fee is double this for Summa as they are rarer.)
		+
		+	The Redcaps will go out into the world and make the purchase (essentially on credit) and return with a book in 1 year's time and accept payment on delivery..
		+
		+	All costs below are in Form Vis. Technique vis is worth 150% of Form Vis (rounding down) (So for example if a book + Broker's fee cost 11 Form Vis you could pay with 8 Perdo instead.)
		+
		+	'''Tractatus'''
		+
		+	Quality: 2D6+2 (range 4-14, average 9) -
		+	Costs:
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
		+	\|+ Value of Books:
		+	\|-
		+	! Tractatus Quality !! Form Vis Cost
		+	\|-
		+	\| 8 or lower \|\| 1 pawn
		+	\|-
		+	\| 9 to 11 \|\| 2 pawns
		+	\|-
		+	\| 12 to 14 \|\| 3 pawns
		+	\|}
		+
		+	==== Art Summa: ====
		+	[Level + Quality total] = roll 4D6+12 to get the total (Level + Quality).
		+	If this total is less than 25 it’s a Vain Summa, if it’s 26-31 it’s a Sound Summa. If it’s 32 of greater it’s an exceptional Summa.
		+
		+	Level = 3D6+2 for the level (Giving a range between 5 and 20)
		+	Quality = [Level + Quality total] - Level (Minimum quality: 6)
		+	Summa cost:
		+	Exceptional Summa = Level*2
		+	Sound Summa = Level
		+	Vain Summa = Level/2
		+	Ability Summa:
		+	As with Art Summa, but divide the final level by 3 (round down).
		+
		+	==== Using the Dice Roller for book trades: ====
		+	When doing this please post the roll in the dice roller channel using these formats:
		+	* Roll to order a Tractatus:
		+	* .2d6+2 "[Covenant name], [Year], Searching for: [Type of book and any restrictions], paying 1 vis brokers fee"
		+	* Roll to order a Summa:
		+	* .1d6+25 "[Covenant name], [Year], Searching for: [Type of book and any restrictions], paying 2 vis brokers fee"
		+	Remember that the brokers fee doubles for each extra book in the same year and for Summa.
		+	You don't have a choice to refuse a book once ordered, so be careful in setting your limits. If you can't afford it, you automatically get a redcap loan for the balance.
		+	The book arrives 4 seasons after it's ordered.
