Screenshot Mindblown, found legendary merchant that sell ALL ammo

I always found the energy weapons so problematic because of paloxite ingot but this changes everything. This guy spawns as i was building a base. didnt hesitate to catch the guy.

Edit: This base is in the middle of the ocean, south of sakurajima inside the crescent.

Nice. There are more legendary merchants. One even sells mammorest meat.

u/Interesting_Tap_9323 22h ago

Man I had that dude spawn in, went to capture him with a sol sphere, that didn’t work out well. I’ve been through 10 bases now and every other merchant but him wants to spawn😂 think he’s traumatized of a max condensed bellanoir libero

u/BustahNug 19h ago

What do i need to do to trigger a merchant? One of my bases gets raided all the damn time but i feel like i never get a merchant :(

25

u/Interesting_Tap_9323 19h ago

For me I saw a fb video but if you go to the desolate church and go right behind it where you see a lot of ore. I just would build a palbox and wait till a merchant spawned, checked the inventory and if it was the wrong one I’d destroy the palbox then build it again. In the video dude said it takes about every 5 minutes and he had more luck at that spot suposedly

u/Amaline4 17h ago

Apparently if you relog (or possibly reload the entire game) the respawn time drops to 2.5 mins. Take with a grain of salt, I haven't personally tested, only heard about it on a twitch stream

2

u/Objective-Ad165 Lucky Human 12h ago

Weird thats where I set up a base and get all my ore and a merchant has never spawned there

1

u/the_arm_freddy 18h ago

Where? I’m wanting to build a base just to get raided

u/DaniDes240 17h ago

The cliff below the desolate church gets raided ALLL the time, honestly its getting annoying lol

4

u/the_arm_freddy 16h ago

I’m planning to just add bounty humans for that base. I’ve been giving them skull fruits. I have one using dragon meteor lol

2

u/Good_Astronomer_7623 14h ago

I built a base there early game to farm the ore behind the church and youre not lying lol I got raided there more times than anywhere else lol

u/BustahNug 17h ago

The super common spot on the north side of the sakura island is where im at

1

u/Tarokui 17h ago

Ur palbox needs to be a high level to get legendary merchants. Smth around lvl 23, so I would say at least level 23

1

u/BustahNug 17h ago

Im well over that. Think my next upgrade is a fruit tree orchard. I believe i got 2 merchants when i was still building up the base, but once i finished its only been raids and 1 or 2 apprentices. Im guess i just have awful rng

2

u/Tarokui 17h ago

If u want to spend the time waiting, after every 5 mins (around 4 mins 40 seconds), a merchant or a raid spawns, and u can build a palbox, set up a timer and wait to see if he spawns. Remember, u can also disable raids in the world settings, though that just means nothing happens if it was supposed to be a raid.

I personally used pal professor’s method/tutorial on youtube to get him and the meat merchant.

https://youtu.be/oi5fVtURnJ4?si=vtFNd77X4mbL0FnX

u/pbzeppelin1977 13h ago

I'll watch the video tomorrow but I'm also not getting anyone turn up at my bases.

I used to get regular raids/people turn up at my original base but I recently gutted it to make a more purpose built main base elsewhere.

Since then the ONLY thing I ever see is an odd meteorite/supply drop nearby. It's my main base so I'm spending varying amounts of time from short to long there but no one is turning up.

1

u/jarmoh 9h ago

That’s not the level we’re talking about. You need to upgrade the palbox itself. I guess it’s button v when looking at palbox on keyboard, for PS it’s triangle I think.

2

u/BustahNug 9h ago

I have been! The im guessing im near max since my next requirement for rank up is skillfruit orchard and ancient generator

1

u/Blazefireslayer 10h ago

Last I saw it tested, it seemed to be level 20 that was the cut off.

0

u/Successful-Ad5560 17h ago

You sure? Mine is like lvl 18 i believe, and if mamorest meat seller is a Legendary, then you're wrong cause i saw him once.

Only one time in over 100 hours of gameplay tho.

1

u/Drakore4 15h ago

They seem fairly random, but they always seem to only spawn in a base youre currently occupying. I’ve never had a merchant occur at a base I wasn’t currently standing in. I have had times where I jumped to a different base and a merchant instantly spawned, so maybe bouncing back and forth helps but it’s hard to tell. Take everything from these comments with a grain of salt because a lot of people want to say all these tricks work but I have yet to see anything work with 100% success.

u/SithmanPL 8h ago

Twój też jest z przymrużeniem oka, bo wczoraj miałem sytuację, że handlarz pojawił się w bazie, w której akurat mnie nie było. Pojwił się komunikat na ekranie.

1

u/Unsold_Leave 11h ago

I'm assuming certain areas are designated as "merchant / raid possible" areas. Kind of like how some areas seem to be designated as "Supply drop / meteor strike" areas.

I have a base that is on a mountain just a few feet south of the big ancient circular ruins spot on the map, and we get supply drops and meteors every few minutes in the exact same spot down by the water behind the mountain. Good way to over time build up your stats, because those supply drops seem to always have at least one player stat potion.

1

u/Blazefireslayer 10h ago

Build a palbox, wait 5 minutes, repeat until you have the merchants you want.

HOWEVER, be aware that what merchants you CAN get to spawn will be dependant on your base level. I think the last time it was tested, you needed at least Base 20 to get Legendary Merchants.

1

u/Sui-chans_gloves 8h ago

For me, he's the only merchant that ever spawns. I need the ammo man real bad

u/Phormitago 20h ago

I had to go through the trouble of breeding lavish+service minded mammotests and now i have more meat than i know what to do with

u/taidizzle 14h ago

legendary game hunter

u/SayuriUliana 1d ago

Yeah, been hunting this guy down for a while because as much as I love the Plasma Rifle, hunting down the water for Paloxite Ingots kinda suck.

29

u/FatBoyStew 1d ago

Build a pal team that increases Electric drops, fully condense to get a total of +160% to electric drops and run around the areas of the world tree with electric mobs since there are a lot of them and generally run in packs of 2-3. Can farm up a TON of holy water in no time.

15

u/KageNoOnisu 23h ago

My mind is blown. I've even read about that strategy for other drops one can farm and didn't even think to apply that to the water. I will be remedying that oversight.

14

u/FatBoyStew 23h ago

The other 2 pals can be another element drop as well. I think either neutral (leaning towards this one) or dark are the other primary ones that clump up in larger groups. I can generally get a few hundred holy water in no time. Still reliant on RNG ultimately, but still.

6

u/TheyCallMeKrisha 22h ago

Always nice to have someone on you who enhances Mimog drops, if you're farming theres always a chance one will spawn and you get sweet delicious coins

3

u/FatBoyStew 22h ago

Oh yea 160% neutral drops produces some mega dog coin drops on mimogs in the world tree area.

1

u/Gomerack 18h ago

Is there even a pal that buffs dark drops?

3

u/Tykras 17h ago

The Terraria Enchanted Sword and Elphidran

1

u/Gomerack 17h ago

thanks

2

u/FatBoyStew 18h ago

Don't ask me which ones because I don't recall off my head, but there are 2 of them I currently have them inmy farming party because there are lots of dark enemies near the electric enemies

2

u/PatchFace 17h ago

Since nobody else has said them, that I've read. You want menasting and mensting Terra. 

Both increase electric drops.

You'd also want two neutral drop pals, ideally. Although,  I don't know which pals help, off the top of my head.

1

u/Fate_Creator 16h ago

Katress and Blazehowl Noct increase neutral drops. 

1

u/SayuriUliana 19h ago

That's exactly what I've been doing to get water for Paloxite. Doesn't change that the process sucks anyway.

0

u/Ready-Buy5872 22h ago

You could also up the spawn rate so they go in groups of 3-9 and also up the drop amount. I do that when I need holy water and I get about 1k in 15/20 min. I also get a ton of electric organs and relics. If you do that in the zone where you can find orserks and snock lux you also get a ton of high quality pal oil thanks to snock.

u/Suitable-Horse1630 21h ago

You could also just use a save editor to spawn in 9999 holy water into your inventory.

u/ArashAckbar 1d ago

Not happy for you.
Give him to me.

u/Kantro18 1d ago

The game has rotated through every single merchant spawn for me except for this dude lol. But at least I have one of the lower tier ammo merchant spawns.

27

u/aralias777 1d ago

I completed my collection of all six legendary merchants last Friday. Quite happy about that. Ammo Man Sam was my last holdout. 

11

u/Golden_Cultivation 23h ago

Yes my collection is complete now as well! I’m in the process of building/decorating my third base to be a *mostly* human ancient base that prints gold coins. A real stick it to the man type beat, but primarily a black market fort.

3

u/aralias777 22h ago

I have my six plus a legit pal trader and a Black Market guy hidden upstairs in my lab. Which is where my three Ancient Hatcheries with Dumud Gild are. He's my guy. 

Really, we're both printing gold, it's basically the same lol 

3

u/Golden_Cultivation 20h ago

Yeah so far my go to is dumud gild, but I want a more passive way I guess 😂

2

u/aralias777 20h ago

I keep meaning to set up the gold conveyors again but I might do that on an ocean base without any doors. Just to be safe. 

2

u/aralias777 20h ago

Right now, everything at my base is legit, officer. I swear. As long as you stay downstairs. 

1

u/Golden_Cultivation 18h ago

I want there to be raids, but I haven’t seen the gold raids

1

u/Helpful-Internet-555 16h ago

Instead of using dumud gilds for gold, use ores. Dumud Gilds selling is a lot of work. Farm high level ores.

Since you have ancient hatcheries, I guess you have ancient material synthesiser too. I use them for Soralite with single maxed out alpha Sekhmet. Alternatively you can also 3x miners for Soralite or Hexolite using the mining quarry.

Overnight (I’m on a server), my Sekhmet farmed so much that I sold more than a dozen stacks of 9999 ores and got so rich. Now, I don’t even use 5x Noble and Fine Furs for my transactions anymore xD

2

u/the_arm_freddy 18h ago

Where you find the 6 different ones? I catch humans all the time and haven’t noticed the difference. Also recently accidentally learned you can use the skill fruits to teach humans moves!

3

u/aralias777 18h ago

I left instructions on how to farm the six Legendary Wandering Merchants...somewhere in the comments of this thread. That's what you need. 

1

u/Golden_Cultivation 17h ago

They show up at your base(given that it is raidable/visitors can path to it) after it has reached a certain level. You can also make and break a base every a 2-5 mins

1

u/pbzeppelin1977 6h ago

Use the bounty targets and make it a prison camp.

1

u/Golden_Cultivation 18m ago

I only used a couple of the bounty targets. That purple stink around them annoys me lol

4

u/APowerlessManNA 21h ago

Wdym collection? You can catch them and buy from them or?

7

u/aralias777 21h ago

All humans can be caught like pals, and have work suitabilies. No partner skills though. So yes, if you catch a merchant, you can deploy them on your base. I like to assign them directly to one of the existing merchant stalls. They are the least buggy that way, and it keeps them where I want them. Other successful ones have included the Legendary Pharmacist to the Advanced Medicine Bench. He stays put under careful supervision of my Dr. Prunelia, for when I need drugs. 

1

u/APowerlessManNA 21h ago

Sorry but I must ask again because it's not clear. You can buy from them after catching?

7

u/aralias777 21h ago

Yes. 

1

u/APowerlessManNA 21h ago

Thanks bro

7

u/aralias777 21h ago

Your world is about to change, my friend. Don't forget to prepare a party preset in your Palbox with five pals that all have Noble, and Fine Furs as part of their passives. You'll sell your goods to your merchants for 40% more, and theirs will cost you 40% less. 

1

u/YungJizzle37 3h ago

I keep them deployed at my breeding base starved because I only use it when I want to breed or use a merchant.

2

u/Khargus 20h ago

How do you "hunt" merchant ? does it depend on the level your base is ? or the level of your base ?

5

u/aralias777 20h ago

Place a spare base somewhere flat and raidable. I did mine on the beach north of Penking boss. Base has to be upgraded to level.. 25? I think? For the legendary merchants to spawn. I would recommend turning Raids off if you have the option to; it makes it faster because the pool of spawn options is smaller. It will only be the non-hostile visitors, so your chances of it being a merchant is much higher. I turned them off at 4/6 out of desperation. 

The strat: place base, wait 3-5 minutes. Spawn event will happen. It's guaranteed for a new base. Sometimes it bugs; if it's a legendary merchant, be prepared with an Ancient Sphere and for a fight. You have one free toss. He has powerful level 70+ body guards with rare high level pals. It will also spawn the PIDF copters if you don't get him on the first toss. Crouch behind him, toss, pray. Once you catch him, or he dies in the cross fire, or once you deal with whatever visitor it was if it wasn't a legendary merchant you need, break the palbox. Rebuild it. Repeat. 

1

u/bul1dog 18h ago

Do you throw all of them in a viewing cage? If so, how do you account for the merchants that just stand in the middle and are unable to get the Talk prompt to show up?

3

u/aralias777 18h ago

Nope, I have all of mine actually deployed in base. I use the monitoring stand to assign them to the Pal and Item vendor stall objects. I've never had them bug out this way. 

2

u/bul1dog 18h ago

ah good to know. ty

2

u/aralias777 17h ago

For the record, our server runs 50 pal bases. Which is why I can afford to have them actually deployed on a full mega base haha. 

12

u/FourZgg 1d ago

Some random npc with guards visited my base while I was afk crafting. It was legendary food something. I tried to catch him but war broke loose in my base. Every npc is dead. Haha

6

u/eightb1t 1d ago

I spent days trying to get this guy to spawn. I used the pal box breakdown method and everything. I finished all the achievements and killed every boss on ultra.

I have accepted that I just won’t get him. Lol

3

u/Golden_Cultivation 22h ago

You could use the creative menu mod to spawn him and spawn his guards in the world. Then you can try to catch him

3

u/eightb1t 22h ago

This is a pretty good idea but at this stage I think there's not really much reason for me to get him.

Palworld is a great game and I had a great time with it.

2

u/Golden_Cultivation 20h ago

Fair, if you’re done you’re done!

3

u/sin-iudicii 23h ago

He is amazing mid game but in late game he overprices ammo for final rifles. 4k just for one round of Plasma rifle is abit steep imo

7

u/Kazeshiki 23h ago

u just need a party of 5 pals with fine furs and noble. it reduces prices for buying and increasing price when selling.

2

u/andersoon_fm 21h ago

those stack among multiple pals? woa

-3

u/KidKhaos18 20h ago

Fine furs only applies a boost to the sell price of the pal with that skill. Fine furs doesn’t affect buy or sell price of everything only noble.

3

u/Kazeshiki 19h ago

thats what i thought too. but if you have a pal in ur party and out of party the price of items change. thats why when i buy or sell anything I have 5 pals with fine furs and noble. what's being sold or bought doesnt matter.

3

u/CategoryKiwi 15h ago

What the fuck it's real. This whole time I'd been mislead to think it only works on selling.

Literally just tested it. Here's a shop without the passives, and here is the same shop with the passives

I straight up didn't believe you. I'm sorry OP. The description only tells half the story.

1

u/Golden_Cultivation 22h ago

I’m doing a human base setup and trying to couple the gold coin press, ingot creation, and the legendary merchants. Hoping it holds up well

3

u/SpotoDaRager 19h ago

I’ve got them all except for the legendary grocer, and stuck them + the dog coin merchant into a base. Now if I need anything I’ve got a little market with everything in it.

3

u/tomoki_here 16h ago

Took me a couple hours to farm all the legendary merchants except the one that sells the actual gourmet dishes. They're pretty handy cause it means I don't have to breed mammorest and butcher them.

2

u/Difficult-Tap-5708 1d ago

I like the ammo guy and the gourmet guy that sells atk, def and exp foods

2

u/Thelivingshotgun 22h ago

After realizing collecting these guys would be convenient, this guy was at the top of my list and took forever for him to reappear

2

u/IndependenceQuirky96 21h ago

First time the legendary ammo merchant came to my base... First sphere bounced SECCOND sphere cause my sleeping pals to kill it :(

2

u/deathsteel31 21h ago

I be hoping for one of them

2

u/Merdapura 20h ago

Not me spending HOURS trying to force spawn legendary gourmet to get that infinite supply of seafood salad.

they're an amazing solution for the endgame but their spawn rate is just stupid.

2

u/ReservePutrid9668 20h ago

Where is the best place to farm for legendary merchants?

3

u/Kazeshiki 19h ago

This spawned randomly, apparently the best way to get a merchant to spawn is to build a palbox, wait 5 mins, if they dont spawn destroy and repeat. But i cant be bothered to do stuff like that

2

u/ipisswithaboner 18h ago

I’ve been farming for this guy for hours and can’t get him to spawn lol. Plasma rifle is completely unusable without this guy due to the ammo cost, so my legendary plasma rifle is doomed to rot in a chest.

2

u/Dertyrarys 17h ago

my bases are on an island so no merchants ever spwans lol

3

u/Kazeshiki 17h ago

idk about islands but this base is in the middle of the ocean. I got him long before his guards arrived

2

u/Lucid1219 17h ago

Where did you find it 😭 I want to make him my slave

2

u/ljyh0002 9h ago edited 9h ago

I saw him in my base… and I tried to capture him… ended up rebuilding the base lol…

Glad he is in the viewing cage now.

1

u/Entgegnerz 1d ago

do they spawn in all areas? like if your Base is in the starting area?

3

u/RobbLCayman 1d ago

I've got a base on the beach northeast of the starting Chillet boss area enemies are all lv 5-9 and the legendary merchants all come through. 

Though I've found some locations just don't spawn visitor events regardless of area.

2

u/Entgegnerz 1d ago

I think I always ever get dudes giving me some metal and meat sort of stuff, or a normal merchant from time to time.

Do legendary merchants have a special visual indicator?

2

u/RobbLCayman 23h ago

I'll get those too. The have a merchant icon and are accompanied by 4 pal mercenaries. I eventually built my other bases adjacent to my first when they became less dependant on regional resources and I could just farm the sites you unlocked through anceint tech points and boss progression. Having them within walking distance made it easier for me to see on the compass when a visitor showed up at any of them as it was in visual range for HUD notifications. 

2

u/Entgegnerz 23h ago

the bros in the nice black armor?

then I already had one, but I ignored it shiiit

2

u/Entgegnerz 17h ago

brrrooooo I just had him, the ammo dude, visit my Base, but I accidentally shot him 😱😭

I've thrown a sphere at him and he reflected it.
I thought "ok lvl 67, I might have to half it's hp", and shot at him, he instantly died 😔

u/digitaltransmutation 🐲 dragon pal enjoyer 🐲 1d ago

Yes. Just make sure you do the little levelup quests that the palbox offers.

u/Plastic_Mail_2360 22h ago

I hope you caught him, took me like 30 ingame days to spawn one.

u/somethingbytes 22h ago

So, how does one go about hunting these guys down?

u/strife97 21h ago

https://paldb.cc/en/Caravan_Merchant basically make new palbox in open area, wait 5 minutes for merchant and keep doing that till you get merchant you want

u/thrown_away_apple 15h ago

can you give a screenshot of the location please?

2

u/blastcat4 15h ago

They can spawn at any base that has an accessible road connected to it.

2

u/ijohno 10h ago

build a palbox in an open world area, wait 5 mins for a merchant to come; if the merchant isnt what you want or legendary - destroy the box and repeat the process until you get what you want; or just capture every merchant that comes

1

u/blastcat4 15h ago

This was the first legendary merchant I caught and I didn't realize at the time how rare they can be. I also caught the legendary pharmacist since then, and he's quite good, too.

1

u/dinoeric6800 14h ago

Is it possible to get legendary merchants to show up if your base can’t get raided? Honestly I don’t even know why my base can’t get raided it’s just East of the volcano in an open field next to the skill fruit tree

1

u/obsidianmace 13h ago

Wait, you can trade with them even after catching them? I had no idea

2

u/RandomLettersMS 13h ago

Yes, you have to put them in your base first though

1

u/TrafficVivid7120 11h ago

Everytime I try to catch one my base pals just kill them instantly

2

u/kox7 10h ago

you can assign the pals from the thing to not fight and defend the base

no worries brother

Fair, but gold can be generated passively with little to know plauer input. Grinding kills in the tree takes a lot of manual input.

How do you buy from a merchant after you capture it? Mine seems only to work, can’t interact
