# Traveling Merchants

**Traveling Merchants** are mysterious visitors who occasionally find their way to your Home Island. Not everyone gets a visit – only the most active and fortunate adventurers can expect to meet them.

Each merchant has their own set of interesting offers. Sometimes, they can bring something truly exclusive. Their stock may vary from visit to visit, so it’s always worth checking what they have!\

## How to summon the merchant

Traveling Merchants appear for a short time, and their arrival depends on how actively you explore Wild Islands. The more often you explore Wild Islands, the higher your chances of encountering a merchant.

Merchants can appear during any adventure, regardless of whether Attraction Power is activated. However, if Attraction Power is activated and you’re wearing charged gear that increases your “Luck” parameter, you’ll have a slightly better chance of meeting a merchant.

When the merchant appears, you’ll see a special notification:

\| “_Mysterious Visitor has arrived on your Home Island_”

Keep in mind: the merchant’s stay is temporary. They will disappear after a short time, even if you don’t interact with them.

## How the shop works

Once the merchant appears, you’ll find them on your Home Island. Interact with them to open the shop. The merchant’s offers may come with the following limitations:

* **Global limit** – the total number of items available to all players across the game
* **Personal limit** – the number of items a single player can purchase
* **Time-based personal limit** – a player can buy only a certain number of items within a set time period. The limit resets once the timer expires
* **Offer duration** – some items are only available for a limited time, after which they disappear from the shop

You may encounter several different merchants, each with their own offers, stock, limits, and timers. Prices may be listed in different currencies.&#x20;

Some merchants may return after leaving your island. In that case:

* Your personal purchase limits will be reset
* Global limits stay the same. If an item is sold out globally, it won’t be available again

## Purchasing items

The purchase process depends on the item type:

1\. **In-Game Items**

1. Choose the item in the shop
2. Enter the desired quantity
3. Confirm the purchase
4. If there’s enough inventory space and currency, the item will be added to your inventory

If your inventory is full, the purchase will fail. You’ll receive a message: “Not enough space in inventory.”

2\. **NFT Items**

1. Click “Buy”
2. A confirmation window appears
3. After a short delay, the confirmation button activates
4. Once pressed, the transaction begins
5. If successful, the item will be delivered either in “In-Game Collection”, “Marketplace Items” or in-game inventory, depending on its type.

A pop-up will confirm the purchase and show where the item was delivered. If the transaction fails, no resources are consumed and the item is not delivered.\
