Gondor Traders

Gondor traders are mannish traders of the Gondor faction. They can only be found in their respective market stalls on the marketplaces of rural villages or walled towns, but not of fort-villages. The only exception is the blacksmith, who also can be found in his smithy, which is sometimes also included in those settlements.

Only a few of those stalls (if at all) spawn in the same settlement. So you won't be able to find them all in one place, but have to travel quite some time, if you want to find a specific one. The traders were all added in, except for the blacksmith, who lived in his smithy long before.

They are different from normal Gondorians in the fact that they have a coin in one hand and a tool of their respective business in the other.

Behaviour
The traders stand around in the market stall and wait for customers. They will trade for coins and exchange your money for larger or smaller variants.

They normally are a passive NPCs but will attack if provoked; once provoked they will attack you with the tool, they are carrying.

Trading
The Gondor traders will trade with anyone who has positive or neutral Gondor alignment. They sell various goods according to their profession. They will buy what they need, to do their job properly. The traders will only buy or sell a certain amount of items before they will stop accepting that type of goods. After this happens there is a cooldown time before they will trade this item again.

Here is a list, which professions can be found:


 * Baker
 * Blacksmith
 * Brewer
 * Butcher
 * Farmer
 * Fishmonger
 * Florist
 * Greengrocer
 * Lumberman
 * Stonemason

Gondor Blacksmith
The Blacksmith of Gondor is the only Gondor trader, that can be found either in the market stall, or wandering around in his smithy. They are easily recognizable by their powerful Blacksmith hammer, which they also use, to defend themselves when attacked.

To trade with the blacksmith, your Gondor alignment must be at a level of +50 or higher. Blacksmiths of Gondor sell Gondorian armour and weapons, among other things.

They will also buy from you the raw materials needed for their craft, which are mainly ingots of iron, gold, silver, copper, and bronze, as well as sticks and coal. The more valuable the metal is, the more coins you will receive.

Upon trading with a Blacksmith of Gondor, the player earns the achievement "Blacksmith's Apprentice"

Gondor Farmer
Farmers are easily recognizable by a hoe in their hand, which they also use, to defend themselves when attacked.

Hiring
Besides of trading, the farmer also allows you to hire farmhands. The player must have at least +50 Gondor alignment. Farmhands cost 40 silver coins, but the cost decreases as the player gains alignment.

Upon hiring a farmhand from a Gondor farmer, the player earns the achievement "Fertile Fields".

Items Sold
If you buy pipeweed plant from a farmer, you'll earn the achievement "Sweet Galenas".
