Merchant Fish

A **Merchant Fish** is an item.

## Uses

A **Merchant Fish** can be used to unlock content with the Trader. It may also be consumed in exchange for other items once all available trades are unlocked.

## How to Obtain

A **Merchant Fish** can be acquired rarely during Pet Activities when Fishing at a Stream or exploring a sunken ship in the Submarine.

A **Merchant Fish** can be obtained in Hollow Earth with Tile: Robb'n Raccoons.

## Action: Talk

The first time a player talks to a **Merchant Fish**, the Trader will be unlocked, along with Daily and Food trades. Talking to more **Merchant Fish** will unlock a random new trade option (if any remain). If no more trades are available, talking to a **Merchant Fish** will grant a random item instead.

### Trade Options

If the player has not yet unlocked all the currently possible trades, one group (represented as a tab in the UI) will be randomly selected out of the remaining options.

The very first time a player talks to a **Merchant Fish**, a trade agreement will be discussed.

Merchant Fish Merchant

Good day, si--er, ah, human!

It seems one of your \*cough\* *creatures* mistook me for a common Fish...

But no matter!

I represent the Nation-state of Tell Samarzhoustia, and on behalf of King Nebuludwigula XIII, I wish to establish a trade route between our people.

Did you cough? (Can fish cough?)

Merchant Fish Merchant

If they can't, but you heard that I did, then one of the two of us has quite a bit of explaining to do.

Now where was I...

Ah yes: trade!

There's a river nearby, in which we have established a *very* secure trade route. Well \*glances at your pets\* well it's *quite* secure, you see, and, ah, where was I...

Ah yes: trade!

Provided you'll sign an agreement to trade exclusively with Tell Samarzhoustia for the next one year, we would be happy to absorb the depot construction costs

Would I still be able to use the market?

Merchant Fish Merchant

The what now? Market?

Oh!

Ohohohohoho. Yes, yes, that thing. Yes, of course. Your various, ah, human... \*he waves a flipper\* whatevers. That won't be a problem at all.

Huh. Well. Sure. I guess I'll sign?

Merchant Fish Merchant

Wonderful! Wonderful-wonderful!

You won't regret this, mada--er, human.

Oh, and should your... *creatures* happen to come home with any other Merchant Fish, the Nation-state of Tell Samarzhoustia would be forever grateful if you could send them our way. Gratitude paid, of course, in trade!

Sounds good.

King whonow?

Merchant Fish Merchant

King Nebuludwigula XIII. Of Tell Samarzhoustia.

\*sigh\* I was warned humans would not know of such things, but...

Oh, uh, where was I?

Ah yes: trade!

There's a river nearby, in which we have established a *very* secure trade route. Well \*glances at your pets\* well it's *quite* secure, you see, and, ah, where was I...

I'd be delighted!
