Sacred 2:Merchant

The Merchant is a type of NPC found in many locations in Ancaria -- usually in towns, but also at key locations along the main quest line. The Merchant is identified on the mini map by a gold bag of coins. You can interact with a merchant to buy and sell items. You need gold to purchase items, and in turn will receive gold for items you sell.

When you have activated the Merchant, your inventory will open, as will one of the pages of the Merchant's inventory. The Merchant has 4 inventories:

• Weapons: This includes shields as well, as they are equipped in weapon slots.
• Armor: Equipment you wear on body and limbs for protection
• Jewelry: Amulets and rings. Jewelry can be worn or forged into other equipment by a Blacksmith.
• Potions: Elixirs and drinks to aid you during your travels.

Click the appropriate tabs to change which Merchant inventory is displayed. You can sell any item, regardless of which inventory is displayed, but may only buy from the displayed wares.

Transactions usually require a confirmation dialog, which can be bypassed by holding down the Ctrl key when selecting an item. The confirmation dialog is not suppressed when you attempt to sell a set, unique or legendary item. This safeguard has prevented many errors.

The Bargaining skill can be quite handy if you like to buy and sell items. Bargaining will reduce the cost of items, as well as make better quality items available to you.
