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)
