Trader

General Information

A trader is an NPC with whom players can trade. A native trader may be referred to as a tamdal. Each of the seven traders has a trading hut, and there is a trading hut in every camp. Each Trader is protected by a Guard Dog.

Unlike modern shops, which deal in monetary units, traders will accept all manner of items in a barter exchange, giving higher value to items they have very few of and basing their prices roughly on standard exchange rates. Traders are shrewd businessmen who markup their goods to customers unskilled in speaking the trader's language.

Traders have a 100 HP. Traders will attack customers who attempt to harm them. Attacking or killing a trader garners little XP. The Guard Dog will also attack when the Trader is attacked.
