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.
The merchant visits '''twice per day''' at random times — once between 00:00–12:00 UTC and once between 12:00–00:00 UTC. His exact schedule is secret and changes daily.

The Traveling Merchant on Mainland has been updated. The material bundle requirements have changed, and the Personal Gold system now works as a lottery ticket system — submit your bundle, receive tickets based on $KINS holdings, and results are drawn in every 12hrs.

Personal Gold (Lottery Ticket System)

Personal Gold does not compete with the Global pool. Players submit a material bundle to receive lottery ticket entries — the number of tickets depends on $KINS holdings.

How it works:

  1. Submit a full material bundle (2,600 Wood, 1,400 Stone, 800 Coal, 40 Cooked Fish Meat).
  2. Receive lottery tickets based on your $KINS holding tier.
  3. Up to 3,000 tickets win each day, drawn approximately every 3 hours 14 minutes.
  4. A winning ticket grants 1 Gold.
  5. Regardless of outcome, a 5% resource tax is burned from all submitted materials — winning tickets burn the full remainder after the 5%, losing tickets refund the rest.
$KINS held Tickets per bundle submitted
Less than 1,000 0 tickets (not eligible)
1,000 to 4,999 2 tickets
5,000 to 9,999 6 tickets
10,000+ 10 tickets

The merchant visits twice per day — players can submit bundles on both visits for double the ticket entries per day.

Global Travelling Merchant

The Global Merchant system is unchanged. Players donate material bundles to earn hidden contribution points, which determine their claim limit when the Global pool opens.

How it works

  1. Donate materials to the merchant to build hidden contribution points.
  2. Points set your claim limit when the Global Merchant opens.
  3. Once the pool opens, purchase your allocated Gold using the standard material bundle.
  4. The shared pool is 3,000 Gold total split across both daily visits.
