Placement Strategy
The Merchant: Animal Products is one of three settlement-based NPC traders unlocked once the camp has the matching Merchant Contract. Unlike crafting extenders, merchant stations have a 1,000,000 Max Health (functionally indestructible), a Merchant Contract construction cost, and a 70-minute (4,200-second) trade cycle per purchase. Quantity discounts scale at x1, x2, x5, and x10 for identical Piastre-per-unit rates, so buying in x10 bulk is always the same price.
Tips
The roof requirement is real. A merchant placed under partial roof coverage will refuse to stock advanced goods.
Clearing nearby threat camps unlocks advanced goods on this merchant. Plan the threat-clear loop before counting on Mountain Goat Horn or Bezoar availability.
Piastre-per-unit rates do not change with quantity, but trade slots do; buying x10 at once saves nine trade slots over buying x1 ten times.
Rough Hide here is a reliable fallback when the Coastal Jungle crocodile spawns are exhausted; Piastre outlay is trivial compared to the farming time saved.
