which house merchants sell what?Follow

It would sure help if they had descriptions to go with their names, so you know what they sell before buying the wrong one....

Some are obvious -- Siegecrafter Merchant -- but some are really not, like the Apprentice Merchant. (Does s/he sell apprentices? Or does s/he want the Grandmaster Merchant's job? If the latter, will s/he reveal what he sells that she can't, or doesn't sell that she has to, or *something* that at least hints at what trade(s) they supply?) And my favorite, the Incantation Merchant (who purveys ... sheet music? albums w/ backwards Satanic lyrics? spells to make your ex-lover celibate for life, unless you want them back?).

Or, say, whether the best source for dye ingredients is Poison & Dye Supplies; Dye, Tincture & Enchantment Supplies; or the Dye Supply Master.

Perhaps Mythic thinks just telling you which merchants you need for a given trade would make crafting too easy and cause an oversupply of player-made goods that would in turn make pro farming unprofitable. No, wait, that would be good.

Or maybe they're trying to reduce inflation by forcing us to buy them all and taking money out of circulation. But surely I am not alone in needing some $ for gear for my toon for when he's not trying to shop. We'd just have to buy it from gold-sellers, and there's the inflation right back.

But I can live without these answers.

Somebody please just tell me which house merchant sells SCing ingredients. (I'll renounce all other trades & write them off as a thanks-offering.)

The Incantation Merchant is the one you need for spellcrafting. I believe it has everything you need, including for enchanting the armor/weapons.

The difference between the apprentice and grandmaster merchants is the level of items. They both sell stuff used for the standard crafting. I think once upon a time they added higher level materials to the game (this would have been before I started, so not exactly sure) and instead of updating the existing merchant, they added a second merchant for these high end materials (arcanium, netherium, arcanite, etc.)

Alchemy is the PITA craft where you need different merchants.
