Quick Answer: Who Buys What?
Every vendor pays full price for everything — Apolypter has no haggling and no price variation. What varies is what each vendor sells and, more importantly, what each one accepts in barter: the blacksmiths are the only ones who convert materials into gear, and the herbalist is the only one who sells Frostbrew. Knowing who converts what is the whole trading game.
| Vendor | Location | Sells | Converts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gate vendor | Ashfall Vale gate | Nothing (buys all) | Nothing |
| Vale blacksmith | Vale forge | Anvil polish (50g) | 3 Alpha Pelts + 150g → Ashfall Leathers |
| Vale herbalist | Vale market | Frostbrew, Frost Vial, Oil Flask | Nothing |
| Emberdeep blacksmith | Lava-forge | Anvil polish (50g) | 12 ore + 400g → Emberforged Plate; 3 shards + 200g → Molten Crown |
The Barter Rule
Materials that a blacksmith wants (Alpha Pelts, Emberdeep ore, Tyrant Shards) are always worth more as barter than as vendor trash. The moment a barter recipe exists for a drop, stop selling that drop — the shard-to-Crown conversion is the endgame example: three shards barter into a boss summon worth an entire fight's loot.
