Trader

*For the trader that sells items for health, see Mysterious Trader.*
The  **Trader** is an NPC found in shops, the Workshop and in The Origin. He appears to be wearing a purple hat and an aqua-colored cloak over purple garment.

## In the Levels

He does not do anything other than standing behind the counter and saying *"See what you need"* if interacted with.

He offers 3-4 items (more during Multiplayer) in his shop, sometimes including a Handmade Rod. Occasionally, he sells a Trader Skin Fragment for at least 30 Gold, if the player does not have 8 yet.

Watching the TV next to the Trader can give you more Gold to buy things.

## In the Workshop

There is a small TV and items to be bought with gems.

* The TV signifies the fact that the player can watch an ad for the weapon beneath it, yet cannot be interacted with, and you cannot go between the item's pedestal and the TV.
* The Trader will place a new item after the player has bought something (up to 5 times a day).

Items for sale are as follows:

* A single weapon of any rarity at leftmost pad. You can get it for free, but you must watch an ad. If you have a bad Internet connection, you won't be able to obtain it.
	+ In some versions without that TV, this weapon can be bought with gems.
* Seeds.
* Materials and Vouchers. Rarely, a Fertilizer or Free Trial Voucher can show up. Trader Skin Fragments can also show up here.
	+ A fertilizer bought at this location goes with the rest in the Garden.

## In The Origin

The Trader will appear after 5 waves have been cleared. He will always sell a large health potion, a large energy potion, and wrenches.

When the player meets him for the first time, he will introduce himself:

**Trader**: Hey hey hey! Nice meeting you again! Though this is the first time we met. ~☆!
**The Player**: ??? (Can he know that I traveled across time?!)
**Trader**: Anyhow, allow me to introduce myself! I am a member of the Mysterious Trader clan that has been wandering on the continent! You can call me Trader. ~☆!
**The Player**: (You pretend to be confused.)
**Trader**: Whenever you need my help, I am right here. ~☆! As long as you have... ▬ ...Hehehe~☆!
**The Player**: (You look at him with despise.)
**Trader**: Hey hey hey... Check around. It is okay you don't buy anything this time. We will have many more transactions in the future.~☆!
## Trivia

* Some rogue-like games allow players to attack the shopkeepers (so they can get the items for free). However, this is impossible in this game.
* Before Update 2.2.0 in the Workshop, it was possible to interact with him and pay 250 gems to change the items for sale, once a day.
* The TV next to the Trader can only appear when 4 (or more in multiplayer) items are for sale.
* The Chinese localization says "神秘商贩" which means "Mysterious Trader" while the actual Mysterious trader is named "特别神秘的商贩", which means "Very Mysterious Trader."
* The trader claims to be from a clan of merchants, which would explain the presence of many over the course of a regular game - they could be either the same one or other members.
* Judging from The Origin dialogue, the Trader and the heroes recognize each other. Since all other trader encounters are set in the modern period and occur before his presence in The Origin, this implies him following the heroes into the past for profit.
* One of his lines of dialogue appears to be bugged.
