Traveling Merchant

Traveling Merchant
Role	Gold vendor / community donation collector
Location	Mainland
Services	Trades gathered material bundles for Gold and runs community restock campaigns.

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 1 Gold.

The merchant is important because Gold is used across shops, pets, furniture, property, the casino, and other in-game systems.

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

Gold trade

The merchant accepts a fixed material bundle in exchange for Gold.

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

Daily cap

How many merchant trades you can do per day depends on your $KINS holdings.

$KINS held	Daily merchant trades
Less than 1,000	0
1,000 to 4,999	1
5,000 to 9,999	5
10,000 to 99,999	10
100,000+	Unlimited

You need at least 1,000 $KINS to trade with the merchant.

Restock campaign

The merchant has a finite Gold stock. When that stock runs out, he switches into a community donation mode. Players contribute resources toward the restock campaign, and once the goal is met the merchant returns to normal Gold trading.
