Merchant Exchange Calculator
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.
