Overview
The Goldleaf Trading Post is a Goldleaf Merchant Guild facility located in northern Hernand. It is a hub for the secret trade of goods that are difficult to handle through official channels, including rare medicinal herbs, imported accessories, and unpackaged trade goods. The post also houses a black market operation where players can offload stolen property and other contraband.
The Goldleaf Merchant Guild is a faction run by goblins whose commercial influence extends well beyond the Hernand region. Multiple trading posts bearing the Goldleaf name are scattered across Pywel, though this northern Hernand outpost is among the first that players encounter during the main story.
Location
The trading post sits in northern Hernand, positioned along the road that runs from Anvil Riverside Terrace toward the City of Hernand. Players can reach it by continuing straight along the road from Anvil Riverside Terrace. A Sealed Abyss Artifact can be found near the post, located directly south of the "A" in "HERNAND" on the world map.
The Goldleaf Trading Post becomes accessible after completing Chapter 2 of the main story. At that point, Goldleaf Tradeposts across the map unlock for trade and black market services.

Black Market
The black market at the Goldleaf Trading Post is one of the earliest locations where players can sell unpackaged trade goods and stolen merchandise. Black market vendors here accept several categories of items:
Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Unpackaged Trade Goods | Loose goods obtained from raiding caravans or looting shipments | Spices, fabrics, raw gems |
Property taken while wearing a mask during theft | Dye bottles, household goods, valuables | |
Rare Herbs | Medicinal plants difficult to source through legitimate channels | Rare medicinal herbs |
Imported Accessories | Foreign-made accessories not sold by standard vendors |
Selling at the black market is straightforward: interact with the goblin vendor and select the items you wish to offload. Stolen items can also be sold at Back Alley Vendors found in larger cities, but the Goldleaf Trading Post is often more convenient for players operating in northern Hernand.
Regular Trade
Beyond the black market, the trading post offers standard trading services. Players with a wagon can deliver packaged trade goods here for profit, following the same supply-and-demand pricing that governs other trade routes across Pywel.
