Mystery Merchant



Mystery Merchants are NPCs who sell and buy special valuable items. Mystery Merchant shops are only open occasionally and they accept only Mystery Market Coins. This type of shops were added in patch 85 in August 2019.

You might need to finish quest before accessing merchant wares.

Merchant inventory is random. It usually includes highest level enchanting materials, Pocket Tab expanders and occasionally dragon mount with crit power buff, very fast (330) normal mounts or auto-gathering and loot-collecting pets.

Merchant inventory is limited, there's usually only one mount or more expensive stuff available. When someone buys it, it's greyed out in shop. Also items are limited per account, you can only buy one Pocket Tab expander even merchant has 3 in inventory.

Merchants have few locations they may appear. Places are not marked on map. Some are easy to found and some not. There is announcement when merchant arrives. Originally, this announcement was province-wide and you don't get the info if you were not there. In later patches merchant arrival is announced globally. Merchants stays open 30 minutes in one place.

Mystery Market Coins are awarded as Vanguard Request rewards from high level quests on NA servers. On EU they dropped only in Ghillieglade, and after patch 86 in vanguards too.

As patch v108 in August 2021 there are no Mystery Market Coins in dungeon vanguards. Coins still drop in small amount in Ghillieglade.

Locations

 * Jondo in Highwatch in city second level, South of the West area NPC Merchants. Just below the stairs leading up to the Sanctuary of Illumination
 * Hemusk in Allemantheia east of Agora area.
 * Petam in Velika near Velika North Gate
 * Kaylight in Kaiator in the Northeast chamber next to Link Street

Mystery Merchants in cities have fixed locations and are marked on map. They are not open all the time. These merchants are masked human males.

Five minutes before merchant shop opens goblin Starc, Mystery Market Coin Vendor appears. He sells maximum of 3 coins for each. Starc appears four times a day in main cities. (He appears around 06 to 08 AM in Kaiator in EU servers. This seems to depend when server was started after maintenance). Order of mystery merchants is Kaiator, Allemantheia, Highwatch, Velika 6 hours apart.

There are also traveling merchants that appear on some locations for some time. They are goblins. Two merchants are usually active in 2 province at any time. We have seen up to 3 active merchants verified active periodically. Generally you want to search merchant in towns, camps, dungeon teleportals and other landsmarks.

Only one Province merchant (w/o global announcement) will be active in a province at one time. NOTE: Cities like Allemantheia, Velika and the Allemantheia Outskirts and Velika Outskirts can spawn Merchants at the same time As a result Cities would seem to be considered their own Province and have a dedicated merchant. Up to three active merchants have been recorded in different Provinces at one time.

In later patches (~spring 2021) merchants appear on every channel. Also coin vendor appears on every channel, so you can buy 10&times;3 coins in Velika and Highwatch. This was "fixed" in patch v108 and only one coin seller appears.

Southern Arun merchants sell very fast normal (non-flying) mounts. Southern Shara merchants sell costume boxes. Northern Arun merchant sells pets, including loot and auto-gathering pets. Northern Shara merchants sell skill scrolls, Relic or Halidoms, infusion material which are generally bad deal. HW and Velika merchants may sell flying dragons. Island of Dawn merchant sells diamonds if you want to convert you coins to gold. Almost all merchants carry few Pocket Tab expanders, partner skill change voucher and Argog Weapon Skin template.
