Merchants

Wealthy merchants are NPCs that only appear in Autumn Islands. Every once in a while, a message will appear at the top of you screen telling you wealthy merchants have arrived from other lands are looking to trade. They are found in all gold clothing will a boat that has golden colors on it. If you come to one of them, a list will appear showing all the items you can buy from them, if you have gold. Buying materials from merchants is the one of the few shortcuts to finding the actual materials themselves and getting it. The other shortcut is if someone gives materials to you. There is a red version of a merchant trader called a "Strange Vendor" on an island with a demigod. The trades are based on Raw ore. Other trades allow you to buy sailboats or cooked meat.
