Traveling Merchant
Role Gold vendor / community donation collector
Location Mainland
Services Trades gathered material bundles for Gold via Personal and Global systems.

The Traveling Merchant is the main early source of Gold for players who gather resources. He stands near his cart on the Mainland and trades a fixed bundle of materials for Gold.

Following the latest update, the merchant operates under a dual system featuring guaranteed **Personal Gold** limits alongside a competitive **Global Travelling Merchant** pool.

Tip: Bank your resources before visiting the merchant so you can trade safely without carrying extra materials into the Wilderness.

Material Bundle Cost

To receive any Gold from the merchant (whether Personal or Global), you must trade a complete bundle of the following materials:

Material Amount Notes
Wood 2,500 Gathered through Woodcutting in the Wilderness
Stone 1,500 Gathered through Mining in the Wilderness
Coal 700 Mined from coal-bearing rock nodes
Cooked Fish Meat 30 Made by cooking raw Fish
Gold 1 Reward for turning in the full bundle

1. Personal Gold

The **Personal Gold** system gives players access to a guaranteed daily supply of Gold that does not conflict with the global community pool.

Requirements

  • You must complete your **daily quests** before you can claim your Personal Gold.
  • Your guaranteed maximum daily trades are determined by your $KINS tier:
$KINS held Guaranteed Daily Gold
Less than 1,000 0
1,000 to 4,999 1 Gold
5,000 to 9,999 3 Gold
10,000+ 5 Gold

Note: Larger $KINS holders will have more exclusive benefits and features added in future updates.

2. Global Travelling Merchant

The competitive side of the merchant features a shared pool of 3,000 Gold. Accessing this pool requires players to earn contribution weight beforehand.

Mechanics

  1. Donate Materials: Players donate resources to the merchant to accumulate hidden back-end contribution points.
  2. Unlock Claim Limits: These points determine your account's claim limit when the Global Merchant opens. High participation can unlock up to a maximum limit of 10 Gold per account.
  3. Purchase the Gold: Unlocking a claim limit does not grant instant Gold. Once the merchant opens, you must still purchase your allocated Gold using the standard material bundles.

$$\text{Donate Materials} \longrightarrow \text{Earn Contribution Points} \longrightarrow \text{Unlock Global Claim Limit} \longrightarrow \text{Purchase with Materials}$$
