The Trader

The Trader is an NPC who is involved with the Player-Owned Ports. He will trade excess resources for trade goods. For example, he may have a stock of 10 Chi at 3125 Cherry wood each. His stock and offer change daily, but he will always offer 10 of a certain Trade Good, with exception of Spices and Ancient Bones, of which he offers 15. The Trader will not offer Pearls and Koi Scales, nor ask for Terracotta and Azure for several weeks after his release. He can, however, ask for resources to which you do not yet have access to. According to his concept art, he is also known as the Merchant.

He can be found near the lodgings next to the wooden showers.

Trivia

 * It is possible for the trader to ask for a resource that the player cannot gather yet.
 * On release day, if the player had already logged in pre-update, the trader was glitched making it impossible to trade with him, both by using the right-click option or by talking to him. This was fixed quickly. Other players were not affected.
