Update:Traveling Merchant

27 June 2026 • Game update

The Traveling Merchant now runs a dual Gold system — guaranteed Personal Gold for daily quest completers and a competitive 3,000 Gold Global pool funded by community donations.

The Traveling Merchant on Mainland has been reworked. Players can now earn Gold through two separate systems: guaranteed Personal Gold tied to $KINS tiers and daily quests, plus a shared Global Travelling Merchant pool that rewards high community contributors.

Tip: Use the Merchant Exchange Calculator to plan how many material bundles you need before visiting the merchant.

Highlights

Update	Details
Material bundle	Trade 2,500 Wood, 1,500 Stone, 700 Coal, and 30 Cooked Fish Meat for 1 Gold.
Personal Gold	Guaranteed daily trades after completing daily quests; limits scale with $KINS held (0–5 Gold/day).
Global pool	Shared 3,000 Gold pool unlocked by donating materials and earning contribution weight.
Claim limits	High participation can unlock up to 10 Gold per account when the Global Merchant opens.
Calculator	Merchant Exchange Calculator helps plan bundle gathering for target Gold amounts.

Personal Gold does not compete with the global community pool.

1,000 to 4,999	1 Gold

Global Travelling Merchant

2. Points set your claim limit when the Global Merchant opens (up to 10 Gold per account).
3. Unlocking a claim limit still requires purchasing Gold with the standard material bundle.
