Merchant

Merchants are NPC's that are encountered randomly in Explore. Each Explore region has it's own Merchant, who offers to sell an item for a given price. The catch is Merchants won't tell you what they have until after you've bought it. The prices Merchants charge vary from under 100 BP to over 2,000 BP, and do not relate to the value of the item they are offering. The items merchants carry can vary from near-worthless junk to extremely desirable items such as the Monster Detecter. What items a merchant carries is tied to the Explore region they are found in. For the "standard" explore areas, those with pets and monsters, the items the merchant carries will be the same as the potential monster drops. For special Explore areas, the items they carry can vary greatly.

Special Merchant Items
Occasionally Merchants will have special items for a limited duration - these can be exclusive to an event, such as the Lesser Ray Gun and Mind Control Helmets of Robot Day, Exchange Items for the Seasonal Shop, or rare items like Metal Custom Crystals and Metal Custom Orbs. The Arctic is unique in that while the Merchants have exclusive items found no where else, they are not of limited availability.
