Dealer Joe

## Information

The Dealer is a random event that appears on the World Map after a player builds a CB Radio. Once you have a CB Radio you have to tune it to the right pitch to find his message. If you accept it he will tell you what to bring as well as his location. He will trade you his Weapon Crate or Puppy in a Box if you give him the items or materials he needs.

The Dealer has 1,000 Armor means he can resist 98.36% Damage just like The Specialist but will be invulnerable once its health is reduced to 1.

The Dealer can be attacked but can only be damaged by 30+ Damage Weapon such as Shotgun (dealing 1 damage per shot) or an Milkor MGL / Grenade (dealing 3 damage per shot). When you attack him three times, he will turn hostile and attack you with his M16.

His M16 (deals normal 12 damage) can break and will eventually fight with his fist (6 damage).

*"Stop it!"* - Dealer

*"Back off!"* - Dealer

*"I warn you!"* - Dealer

*"You asked for it!"* - Dealer

**WARNING**: Once the Dealer becomes hostile he remains that way even if you go to another zone. You can remove his hostility by closing and relaunching LDoE. (This will reset him to his original friendly attitude.)

If a player activates auto mode near the Dealer, the player will start attacking the Dealer, so be careful!

## Events

### ***Chinese New Year 2018***

In Beta v.1.7.6, During Act 2 of the Chinese New Year '18 event, the Dealer has a companion called "Supply Officer," outfitted with the Chinese warrior armor and Guandao.

You can earn points in his store by trading in Kumquats (3 pts), Paper Lanterns (6 pts), and Holiday Gold Bars (9 pts). With these points, you can buy:

* **Red Envelope** (cost 20): When used gives 300 experience points
* **Dumplings**(cost 75): When used, increases the amount of produced ore and tree for 10 minutes
* **Tang Yuan**(cost 75): When used, there is a chance to inflict critical damage with a long-range weapon for 10 minutes

### ***Halloween 2017***

During the 2017 Halloween holiday, the Dealer had guests: Frankie Stein and his shackle-controlled pet zombie, Pumpkinhead. He also has an empty chopper featuring the holiday-themed paint pattern.

You can earn points in his store by trading in Zombie Tooth (2 pts. each), Zombie Eye (4 pts. each), and Zombie Brains (10 pts. each). With these points, you can buy:

* **Zombie Collar** (cost 500): Used for temporary winning zombies to your side. Works only for 5 zombies at a time.
* **Pumpkin Helmet**(cost 1000): Protects the head and brains, but disappears soon after the holiday is over. Armor: 6
* **Pattern "Halloween'17"** (cost 5000): Allows you to repaint your Chopper.

## Bugs

* There is a bug in which the event timer would only tick down when in the app (this has only been tested with the Dealer so far). To clarify: if you walk toward the timed location, close the app, then only log back AFTER your avatar reaches it, when your avatar leaves, the location timer will be what was when you closed the app. This can result in significant energy savings on the Dealer's double visits; i.e., the Dealer with a 25-minute timer that is 20 minutes' walking distance away can be visited twice without any energy spent.

## Trivia

* Just like Specialist, it has 1,000 Armor. But unlike him, it can't be killed.
* Prior to Beta v.1.5.2, the name of the Dealer was the Trader. As of Beta v.1.5.3, the screen that appears when you chat with this NPC still says "Trader."
* Renamed from Dealer to Dealer Joe in Beta v.1.9.7
* Here's how you can prepare for the dealer to cover almost all recipes:

- Off-road bike needed
- Only the Lock and key quest can't be completed, but it requires 2 more ingredients:
+1 lock and key
+5 Thick fabric

- If you need extra space after the deal is finished, you can destroy beer, cigarettes e.t.c.
