The first one the player will see (if the player chooses to start in {{favilink|Joppa}}) will be {{favilink|Tam}}.

==Restocking== | |||
Merchants restock randomly according to their Chance and Restock Frequency. LastRestockTick is the last ingameTick that they have refreshed their wares. Currently, Chance is specified as 71, and RestockFrequency is 5 ingame days, or 6,000 ticks. It calls [[Modding: Random Functions|Stat.Random()]] to find a random integer between half the restock frequency and the restock frequency: | == Restocking == | ||
Merchants do not keep their wares: they rotate their stock around every 5 to 8 in game days(for more detailed math, view [[#In-depth Restocking Formula]]). When a merchant restocks, their trading inventory is refreshed and new items will repopulate the inventory. These items will generally be of similar tier and type as the initial stock. | |||
For how the trading system works, check [[Commerce]]. | |||
== Legendary Merchants == | |||
Merchants have a chance of spawning Legendary Merchants, loyal to the [[Merchants' Guild]]. They live in their own lairs, and are always guarded by two random hired guards. All stock will contain the Maker's Mark of the Merchant, which is a random [[Modding: Code page 437|Code page 437]] character from 1-254 (in decimal) excluding all alphanumerics, &, ^, and white space.{{Code Reference | namespace = XRL.World.ZoneBuilders | class = HeroMaker | method = MakeHero}} | |||

the merchant will restock. This means that about 8450-8451 turns (a little more over an ingame week) after the last restock must pass in order to guarantee a restock. The earliest that a merchant can restock is 6,000 turns, with a 71% chance of restocking, or 9,000 turns at a 100% restock if this is the first time the merchant restocks. | the merchant will restock.

If a merchant is holding a quest item, they will not destroy the quest item during restock. any other item that contains the tag <code>norestock</code> will also not be restocked. Merchants that are following the player do not restock, and if the player is also a merchant via [[Domination]], they will not restock. | If a merchant is holding a quest item, they will not destroy the quest item during restock. any other item that contains the tag <code>norestock</code> will also not be restocked.

== | == Trade Prices == | ||
Trade prices in {{gamename}} are variable, and depend on a number of factors, including the player's [[Modifier|Ego modifier]] and their [[reputation]] with the merchant. | |||
