Merchant

Merchant

The Merchant is a vendor found throughout Tsushima and Iki. He sells Jin Sakai cosmetic visuals for armor and weapons in exchange for Flowers.

There are also two (2) specialty Merchants in Tsushima: the White Dye Merchant and the Black Dye Merchant. An additional specialty Merchant, the Crimson Dye Merchant, is available in the Iki Island expansion.

Description

The Merchant is one of the basic vendors that can be found in all Survivor Camps, liberated strongholds, and other points of refuge. In exchange for Flowers that can be found throughout Tsushima and Iki, he will sell vanity visuals for weapons and armor, as well as special headbands, hats, and masks. As the player progresses through the game, the Merchant's stock of vanity visuals will increase, with some being locked to Merchants of a specific region.

The first time you meet the Merchant, he offers Jin the Traveler's Attire for free, which will help the player explore Tsushima.

The Merchant is easily recognizable for package he carries on his back, which consists of a wooden chest, some baskets, and resources all tightly slung onto a porter backpack. He wears navy blue clothes with a light green jacket. He leans on a wooden staff to help himself support the weight of the package he carries. Next to him will be an assortment of goods he presumably sells, although he will not sell those to the player.

Quotes

First Meeting with the Merchant:

Lord Sakai...? You survived the invasion?
― Merchant

So far. Have we met before?
― Jin Sakai

No, my lord. But I watched you ride into battle. Please accept this gift. If you wear it, they say a spirit will lead you to whatever you're looking for.
― Merchant

Sounds like something you could use yourself.
― Jin Sakai

Not with Mongols prowling the countryside. But if it leads you to any flowers... bring them to me—or other traders. We can use them to fashion dyes.
― Merchant

I'll remember that. Thank you.
― Jin Sakai
