Buy consumables and gathering tools from NPC vendors. Sell or salvage items you do not need. Use the Trading Post when selling valuable tradeable items.
Using NPC shops
You will find Merchant NPCs in towns, cities, and near many waypoints. Interact with one to open their shop.
1
Open a merchant’s shop
Approach the merchant and press F when the interaction prompt appears. Use the tabs to switch between Buy and Sell.
2
Buy gathering tools and supplies
NPC merchants sell gathering tools (sickles, axes, and picks), salvage kits, and bags. Vendors that specialize in food or equipment sell those items. Purchases use coins. Hover over equipment to compare its stats with what you are wearing.
3
Sell items you no longer need
The Sell tab lists inventory items you can sell to the NPC. Use Sell Junk to sell all gray-name Junk items at once. For tradeable equipment, compare the Trading Post price after fees with the value of salvaged materials before deciding whether to sell or salvage.
4
Sold something by mistake? Use Buyback
The shop’s Buyback tab lets you repurchase items you just sold. It holds up to 40 recent sales. The list is cleared when you change maps or log out.
💡
There are no equipment repair costs. Being defeated does not leave you with equipment to repair, so you can return to the fight. Interact with an anvil (⚒) using F to gain Reinforced Armor for 12 hours, increasing maximum health and defense. Use one when you pass it.
More on inventory and trading
Separate guides cover inventory management, salvaging, bank storage, and the Trading Post in detail. You do not need to read them all now; use them when your bags fill up or you want to sell something.
If your inventory keeps filling up, start with the bank and storage guide. Material Storage lets you move crafting materials out of your bags to free up space.
