Revision 5

Overview

Goldleaf Tradepost is the trading hub operated by the Goldleaf Merchant Guild, located south of Hernand in the Serkis Estate area of Pywel. Guild guards are stationed throughout the post to oversee the exchange of goods, and merchants from across the continent come here to buy and sell. The tradepost becomes fully accessible once players reach Chapter 3 and begin picking up trade goods.

Beneath the surface of its legitimate commerce, the Goldleaf Tradepost also houses a black market run by a vendor named Groks. Rumors suggest that some of the NPCs here accept bribes in exchange for lower prices. The story eventually reveals tensions surrounding the Guild's leadership, and Shakatu plays a central role in the events that unfold at this location.

Location Details

Geography and Atmosphere

The tradepost occupies a crossroads position south of the main Hernand settlement. Wagons, crates, and stalls fill the compound, and the sound of commerce is constant. Guild flags and banners mark the perimeter, and armed guards patrol the grounds, keeping a watchful eye on both merchants and visitors.

The black market area is tucked away in a less visible section of the compound. Groks operates here, dealing in goods that are not available through the regular trade channels. The whole setup has an organized-crime feel to it, with hushed conversations and wary glances from the regulars.

NPCs

Trading

The Goldleaf Tradepost is where players can sell trade goods in bulk. The post only buys items in stacks of at least 25, and each outpost lists which specific goods it will accept. This makes the Goldleaf Tradepost one of the primary destinations for players who have been gathering trade items across the Hernand region.

Shakatu eventually asks the player to take down the leader of the Goldleaf Merchant Guild, who has established a dictatorship over trade operations and has been robbing merchants in the surrounding areas. After this conflict is resolved, Shakatu takes over the Guild.

Tips

• The Sealed Abyss Artifact at the western edge is on top of rocks. Look for a small arrangement of a candle, an apple, and a sword next to it.

• Stock up on trade goods before visiting. The tradepost only accepts bulk purchases of 25 or more, so plan your inventory accordingly.

• Talk to Groks at the black market for items you will not find at regular shops. Prices are higher, but some of the gear is worth it.

• After Shakatu takes over the Guild, the tradepost's inventory and available quests change. Revisit after completing the main storyline quests here.
