By using the /trade command you can visit the traveling merchant NPC. Below are a list of common questions and answers about this system and how it works.

Is it the same for everybody?

The merchant has the same offering and reset time for everyone globally.

Why are the offers so bad/good?

The merchant's stock is pulling semi-randomly from a list of approved general ranges of trade values. Some are amazing deals, some are worse deals than you may get from grinding or the market.

If you feel a trade is very good, or very bad, use the vote buttons to log this data for developers when a balance pass is made.

What's with the upvote/downvote buttons?

We often release a new feature and then do google forms polls asking for player sentiment. This time, we thought it would be cool to have a built in feature that gets us this polling data on a PER TRADE basis.

If you vote on a particular trade in either direction, that is logged and in the future when the development team is making balance passes, they will see both this voting data as well as the purchase history.

If you are worried about this being "gamed" or "rigged" or "faked by alts", do not worry. This vote does not do anything, and it is not a source of truth for future balance just like those occasional polls are not the source of truth. Just a data point for us to see!

I have a suggestion for a trade, where can I send it?

In Dank Memer Community server, there's a bot suggestions channel. You can send a trade suggestion as a rough idea, and not as an exact trade.

For instance, you can suggest "god box for dev box" but not exact numbers, as we'll do the balancing on exact numbers in the back end. Get crazy with it too! My favorite possibility currently is ducks for luck multipliers.

Will the trade change in the middle of the day?

Yes, it's possible. If this happens, it will be because a trade was either absurdly too good or absurdly too bad. Ideally this will not NEED to happen ever, however!
