The third playtest of Dark, and Darker is now going on, and players have been excitedly grinding through the game to explore the dungeons more. Dark and Darker is a high-risk and high-gain dungeon-based game where the game is ruthless towards the players from the beginning. However, like every other game, this game also has a trade and craft system, and that’s where the Merchants come. This guide will help you know how Merchants work in Dark and Darker.
How to Buy and Sell Items to the Merchants in Dark and Darker?
Dark and Darkness give players a challenging survival experience in the dark dungeons, where players have to defeat the Skeletons, Zombies, and other monsters and enemy players. So, not only do the AI enemies give you hardships, but other players also have the same intentions toward you.
When survival is the major challenge, players need powerful armor and weapons; for this, there’s a Merchant option on the lobby screen. If you open the tab, you can see there’s a list of 10 or 11 Merchants and Travelers who are ready to buy and sell items to you. Merchants have different names given based on their occupations. For example, the Armourer gives you different armor pieces; Alchemist provides players with various potions, the Tailor sells you clothes, etc.
However, their service is not free of cost. You have to provide them with the required Gold Coins for everything you want. If you want Loose Trousers from the Tailor, you must give him 32 Gold Coins. Similarly, the Surgeon requires 15 Gold Coins for a Bandage, a War Maul costs 139 Gold Coins, etc. So, if you want a specific item, go to that particular merchant and check what the item costs.
These Merchants not only sell items, but they also buy, craft, and Repair items. However, not all merchants currently have the Repair and crafting feature. However, players can sell their unnecessary items to these merchants for Gold. This is a great way to get Gold in the Dark and Darker.
Craft and Repair come under the Service tab. Click on any Merchant, and you’ll see the Service tab beside Trade. Craft and Repair are both options that come under this tab, and though not all Merchants provide the Repair feature, Crafting is available to most of them.
To craft items, players need to provide the merchant with the required resources. For example, if you want to craft Rubysilver Plate Pants, go to the Armourer and check the craft section. Select the Pants, and you’ll find these items need 13 Rubysilver Ingot. The other Merchants also work similarly.
That’s all you need to know about how Merchants work in Dark and Darker. There’s even a Quest tab that’s not available currently. However, this is only the playtest; we hope players will get every feature when the official game comes.
