The '''Traveling Merchant''' on [[Mainland]] has been reworked. Players can now earn Gold through two separate systems: guaranteed '''Personal Gold''' tied to [[$KINS]] tiers and daily quests, plus a shared '''Global Travelling Merchant''' pool that rewards high community contributors.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Tip:</span> Use the [[Merchant Exchange Calculator]] to plan how many material bundles you need before visiting the merchant.</div>

== Highlights ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Update
! Details
|-
| Material bundle
| Trade 2,500 [[Wood]], 1,500 [[Stone]], 700 [[Coal]], and 30 [[Cooked Fish Meat]] for '''1 Gold'''.
|-
| Personal Gold
| Guaranteed daily trades after completing [[daily quests]]; limits scale with [[$KINS]] held (0–5 Gold/day).
|-
| Global pool
| Shared '''3,000 Gold''' pool unlocked by donating materials and earning contribution weight.
|-
| Claim limits
| High participation can unlock up to '''10 Gold per account''' when the Global Merchant opens.
|-
| Calculator
| [[Merchant Exchange Calculator]] helps plan bundle gathering for target Gold amounts.
|}

== Personal Gold ==

Personal Gold does not compete with the global community pool.

{| class="wikitable"
! $KINS held
! Guaranteed daily Gold
|-
| Less than 1,000

|-
| 1,000 to 4,999
| 1 Gold
|-
| 5,000 to 9,999
| 3 Gold
|-
| 10,000+
| 5 Gold
|}

== Global Travelling Merchant ==

# Donate materials to the merchant to build hidden contribution points.
# Points set your claim limit when the Global Merchant opens (up to 10 Gold per account).
# Unlocking a claim limit still requires purchasing Gold with the standard material bundle.
