THE MERCHANTS The Merchants are brave travelers who traverse the world in their boats. They offer to trade goods with the lighthouse in return for a place to dock for a few days.

They organize themselves into guilds, and each guild specializes in specific types of goods. You can enhance your relationship with a particular guild by trading with its affiliated merchants. This will unlock more trade options, sales, and even gifts along the way.
