The Dorwinion vinekeeper is a mannish trader of the Dorwinion faction. This NPC will both trade items and let you hire vinehands. They are different from normal Dorwidhrim in the fact that they have a coin in one hand and a grape in the other. They spawn in the vineyards of Dorwinion and can be found alongside vinehands.

Behaviour[]

The vinekeepers will wander around their vineyards and watch over the grapes. The vinekeeper will exchange your coins for larger or small variants.

They normally are a passive NPC but will attack if provoked; once provoked they will attack you with an iron hoe.

Trading[]

The vinekeeper will trade with anyone who has positive alignment with Dorwinion. They sell grapes and grapevine posts. They will buy items used for farming. Like other traders, vinekeepers will only buy a certain amount of items before they will stop accepting goods. After this happens there is a cooldown time before they will buy again.

Items Sold[]

Below is a table of values for each item that the player is available to purchase from this NPC. Use this table to find out if your farmer is giving you a good deal or not. All vinekeepers will sell these three items.

Items Sold Price Range Image
Red Grapes 2-4 ( 2  to  4 ) GrapeRed
Green Grapes 2-4 ( 2  to  4 ) GrapeGreen
Grapevine Post 3-5 ( 3  to  5 ) Grapevine Post

Items Bought[]

Below is a table of values for each item that the player can sell to this NPC. Use this table to earn more money by only selling when the prices are high. You will not be able to sell every item to every farmer as not each Vinekeeper will want to purchase every item listed below. Note that they only buy undamaged tools.

Items Bought Price Range Image
6 x Bone Meal 1-1 ( 1  to  1 ) BoneMeal
Bronze Hoe 5-8 ( 5  to  8 ) HoeBronze

Iron Hoe 6-10 ( 6  to  10 ) HoeIron

Water Bucket 3-5 ( 3  to  5 ) WaterBucket

Hiring[]

To hire vinehands from the vinekeeper, the player must have at least +50 Dorwinion alignment. Vinehands cost 40-80 silver coins, but the cost decreases as the player gains alignment and halves should the player pledge to Dorwinion.

Upon hiring a vinehand from a vinekeeper, the player earns the achievement "Picking Grapes".
