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 (lottery entry, $KINS-gated) and the Global Merchant (shared 1,500 Gold community pool).

Personal Merchant

Personal Gold now works as a Lottery Entry System. Players can enter the Personal Merchant using materials, with the number of entries based on $KINS holdings. Players have a 12-hour period to enter.

Once the entry period ends, winners are selected at random. Players can then return to the Merchant to check results and claim.

• Winning Entries: Gold is claimable from winning entries.
• Non-Winning Entries: Materials are available to reclaim.
• Resource Tax: A 5% tax is applied on all entered materials, which is burned through the system.

Resources Per Ticket

Material	Amount per Ticket
Wood	2,600
Stone	1,400
Coal	800
Cooked Fish Meat	40

Formula:

Wood needed = 2,600 x Entries Target
Stone needed = 1,400 x Entries Target
Coal needed = 800 x Entries Target
Cooked Fish Meat needed = 40 x Entries Target

Personal Merchant Entry Limits

Your entry limit is capped by how much $KINS you hold.

$KINS Held	Entries (1 entry = 1 Gold)	Wood	Stone	Coal	Cooked Fish Meat
1,000	2 entries	5,200	2,800	1,600	80
5,000	6 entries	15,600	8,400	4,800	240
10,000	10 entries	26,000	14,000	8,000	400

Global Merchant

The Global Merchant is a shared pool capped at 1,500 Gold, funded by every player's material donations, and arrives x2 per day (randomly changes every day). 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. 1,250,000 Wood, 750,000 Stone, 500,000 Coal, 200,000 Cooked Fish, or 200,000 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
3	7,500	4,500	2,100	90	90
5	12,500	7,500	3,500	150	150

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