Trader Level Impact

[praekokion]

Hey Folks,

 

does this mysterious "trader level" also impact the quality of mission rewards that you get? Because if so: You kind of overdid it, a lot, with that. 

This, 3rd, playthrough is the first one where I decided not to put too many points into int. Therefore I have only 1 point in daring adventurer. And I would be fine getting a little worse quest rewards as a result, since thats the "Quest Perk".

 

But this:

 

Is about my usual reward for a T5 Quest. Like... im sorry, but that doesnt seem right.. For every 3rd/4th quest, there might be one more useful item in there, but in general the rewards just stayed exactly the same since T2. Is it really the sense of the new trader level system, that if you dont level daring adventurer, you just dont progress past T2 rewards? It feels very, very lackluster and disappointing to even keep doing quests like this...
