You may also be looking for travelling nomad traders, who are described here.
Nomad traders are mannish traders of the Near Harad faction. They can only be found in their respective market stalls in the bazaars of encampments in the Half-deserts.
Only three market stalls form a bazaar, so you won't be able to find them all in one place, and will probably have to travel quite some time if you want to find a specific one.
These traders were all added in Update 34, and are one of the five types of traders that replaced the so-called Southron traders (or Near Harad traders) that were in the game before. They are different from normal nomads in the fact that they all have a coin in one hand and a tool of their respective business in the other.
Behaviour[]
The traders stand around in their market stalls and wait for customers. They will trade for silver coins and exchange your money for larger or smaller variants.
They normally are passive NPCs but will attack if provoked; once provoked they will attack you with a tool of their trade.
Trading[]
The Nomad traders will trade with anyone who has positive or neutral Near Harad 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. Even the complete set of trades will change after you trade more wealth with a certain trader. In this case, the new set will be unavailable for a short while, and then reopen.
Trading with any of the Southron Traders, no matter which sub-faction they belong to, will earn you the achievement "Desert Riches".
Here is a list of which professions can be found:
Price lists[]
Items sold - Below are tables of values for each item that the player is available to purchase from the respective trader. Use this tables to find out if your trader is giving you a good deal or not.
Items bought - Below are tables of values for each item that the player can sell to the respective trader. Use this tables to earn more money by only selling when the prices are high. You will not be able to sell every item to every trader as not each trader will want to purchase every item listed below. Note that they only buy undamaged tools.
Speechbank[]
All Nomad traders except for the Armourer have the same speech bank. These traders talk about their stall and encourage you to sell and buy from them, provided you have the proper alignment.
Friendly
- You seem like the type who would know a good deal when you see one. I respect that.
- Could I perhaps interest you in some of my wares?
- I am always open to another trade. What are you looking for?
- Competition drives better bargains, Person.
- I bring you the best wares from all the regions across the desert.
- I saw you look, yes, my wares are THAT good!
- You have an eye for detail, am I right? Take a closer look at the quality of my wares, Person.
- Greetings. Have you come to trade with me?
- I am sure I have something that'll interest you, Person!
- A good trader never says no to another trade.
- I think that's a price we can agree on.
- I've already given you my lowest price, Person!
- You drive a hard bargain...
- Meet me halfway here, I also have to make a living.
- You expect me to afford the costs of desert travel with that price?
Hostile
- I did not travel across the desert just to get insulted by the likes of you!
- All this effort, and you still resort to violence?
- Oh, you want to trade blows? That's fine by me!
- Desert sun and scorpion sting, your strike means nothing!
- What a foolish act! The heat must have got to you!
- Stop this fellow, before something is stolen!
- My shop is closed. I shall do no business with you!
- Men like you make me sick, ruining a peaceful bazaar!
- Have you no respect for unarmed travellers?
- Disturber of peace! Defiler of trade!
- You have no place in our lands!
- Return to your own people, and take your savage manners with you!
- The trade is off, but you will pay!
- The price for your crime is your life!
- Stop! Thief! Murderer!
- Begone! You aren't welcome here!
- I bet you're just a common thief like the rest of them!
Nomad Armourer[]
Are you bad at crafting? Or too lazy to do hard work yourself? Then seek out the Nomad armourer, who can be found in bazaars. They are easily recongnizable by their blacksmith hammer they carry in their right hand, which they use to defend themselves when attacked. They sell armour and weapons. They will only trade with players that have a Near Harad alignment of +50 or higher. The achievement "Wander's Weave" can be earned through trading with an armourer.
They are also capable of reforging your weapons, armour and tools.
