- **Objective**: I want to learn about making Imperial Deliveries.

- **Summary**: Imperial Delivery is to deliver trade items to imperial courts
by marking up their original price and selling them for a profit.
By region, certain trade items of particular categories
are bought at higher prices by Imperial Delivery Managers like yours truly.
While there is a certain appeal in selling at extraordinary prices,
each trade item has a limit in the amount allowed to be sold.
Therefore, you will need to check for delivery information faster than other adventurers
and determine which trade item to acquire next.
