'''Merchant Exchange Calculator''' helps players work out how much [[Wood]], [[Stone]], [[Coal]], and [[Cooked Fish Meat]] they need to gather before trading with the [[Traveling Merchant]] for a target amount of [[Gold]].
'''Merchant Exchange Calculator''' helps players work out how much [[Wood]], [[Stone]], [[Coal]], [[Metal]], and [[Cooked Fish Meat]] they need to gather for the [[Traveling Merchant]]'s two Gold systems: the '''Personal Merchant''' (daily, $KINS-gated) and the '''Global Merchant''' (shared 3,000 Gold community pool).

== Exchange Rate ==
The Personal Merchant resets daily and uses the original 4-material bundle (no Metal required).
 
The Traveling Merchant currently accepts this fixed bundle for '''1 Gold''':

=== Personal Gold daily limits ===
Multiply each material rate above by how much Gold you're aiming for to get the total materials required.
Your daily Personal Gold limit is capped by how much [[$KINS]] you hold. $KINS holdings are checked once per day via daily snapshot — farming around this by changing holdings twice in one day does not work.

== Global Merchant ==
The Global Merchant is a shared pool capped at '''3,000 Gold''', funded by every player's material donations, and arrives at a random time. Unlike the Personal Merchant, the Global bundle also requires [[Metal]].

Donating to the Global Merchant earns hidden contribution points, which set your claim limit once the pool opens. 1,000,000 Wood, 600,000 Stone, 400,000 Coal, 50,000 Cooked Fish, or 50,000 Metal each earn 1 contribution point. 1 contribution point = 600 Gold of claim value.

How much Gold a player can exchange with the Merchant '''per day''' is capped by how much [[$KINS]] they hold, regardless of how many materials they have:

All tiers still require holding the materials shown above — $KINS only raises the daily cap, it does not replace the material cost.

Merchant Exchange Calculator helps players work out how much Wood, Stone, Coal, Metal, and Cooked Fish Meat they need to gather for the Traveling Merchant's two Gold systems: the Personal Merchant (daily, $KINS-gated) and the Global Merchant (shared 3,000 Gold community pool).

Personal Merchant

The Personal Merchant resets daily and uses the original 4-material bundle (no Metal required).

Material Amount per 1 Gold
Wood 2,500
Stone 1,500
Coal 700
Cooked Fish Meat 30

Formula: 

Wood needed = 2,500 x Gold Target
Stone needed = 1,500 x Gold Target
Coal needed = 700 x Gold Target
Cooked Fish Meat needed = 30 x Gold Target

Personal Gold daily limits

Your daily Personal Gold limit is capped by how much $KINS you hold. $KINS holdings are checked once per day via daily snapshot — farming around this by changing holdings twice in one day does not work.

$KINS Held Daily Gold Limit Wood Stone Coal Cooked Fish Meat
1,000 1 Gold 2,500 1,500 700 30
5,000 3 Gold 7,500 4,500 2,100 90
10,000 5 Gold 12,500 7,500 3,500 150

Global Merchant

The Global Merchant is a shared pool capped at 3,000 Gold, funded by every player's material donations, and arrives at a random time. Unlike the Personal Merchant, the Global bundle also requires Metal.

Material Amount per 1 Gold
Wood 2,500
Stone 1,500
Coal 700
Cooked Fish Meat 30
Metal 30

Contribution points

Donating to the Global Merchant earns hidden contribution points, which set your claim limit once the pool opens. 1,000,000 Wood, 600,000 Stone, 400,000 Coal, 50,000 Cooked Fish, or 50,000 Metal each earn 1 contribution point. 1 contribution point = 600 Gold of claim value.

Worked examples (Global)

Gold Target Wood Stone Coal Cooked Fish Meat Metal
1 2,500 1,500 700 30 30
5 12,500 7,500 3,500 150 150
10 25,000 15,000 7,000 300 300

Tip: gather more than your exact target, since claim limits depend on total contribution points rather than a guaranteed 1-to-1 exchange.
