    The lowest price you can pay for training at all training halls except Paradise Valley is:
    10 * Current level for unpromoted characters
    20 * Current level for singly promoted characters
    30 * Current level for doubly promoted characters
    This assumes that the character training has a high enough merchant skill to he/she is trained at cost.

    Each training hall determines its price by using the formula above, multiplying by a training hall specific multiplier and the applying the character's merchant skill. I don't remember the exact multipliers, but the order (from cheapest to most expensive) is as follows:
    New Sorpigal
    Mist
    Bootleg Bay
    Silver Cove/Free Haven
    White Cap/Kreigspire/Ironfist
    Blackshire
    Since Mist is cheaper than Bootleg Bay and trains to a higher level and Ironfist is cheaper than Blackshire and trains to a higher level, I generally avoid training at Bootleg Bay and Blackshire.

    Paradise Valley is different. The lowest cost I've ever paid at Paradise Valley for a doubly promoted character is 50 * Current Level. (I've never trained there with a character under level 200, and I would never wait that long for a promotion). As far as I could tell, my merchant skill was high enough to get training there as cheaply as possible. Certainly boosting my merchant skill still further had no effect on that cost, and lowering it (by skipping the Merchant/Duper combo I had been using) didn't raise the cost either.
