44 Merchant: Natural Resources is a Merchants craft station in Windrose. It is an NPC trader that sells raw materials for Piastres, covering ores, wood types, Clay, Stone, and other refining-feed inputs. Build it from a Merchant Contract: Natural Resources and place it under a roof within Bonfire range like any other station.

1414 The Merchant: Natural Resources is the fallback stock for any refining run that has exhausted the local mining and logging pool. Copper Ore, Foothills Iron Ore, Clay, Wood, Hardwood, and Stone are the typical categories, with advanced unlocks tied to island threat clears. Piastre-per-unit rates are high compared to farming the raw materials yourself, so this merchant is best treated as a top-up source rather than a primary supply line.

1818 Use this merchant when a single refining recipe is bottlenecked by one missing ingredient, not for whole-stack purchases; the Piastre drain is significant.Advanced-tier materials unlock as island threats are cleared, which means the natural-resources stock improves across a playthrough without extra investment.Stone and Clay are cheap enough here to buy in x10 bulk if you are starting a large stone structure build.Copper Ore from this merchant feeds the Smelting Furnace directly; Piastre-to-ingot math favors buying ore and refining in-house over buying pre-refined ingots.

2222 These are the exact Merchant: Natural Resources prices observed in the current live build. Quantities scale x1, x2, x5, and x10 at a flat Piastre-per-unit rate, so bulk purchases are time savings rather than cost savings.

2626 Every line item below is confirmed stock, though the advanced goods only populate once the matching threat camps have been cleared. Expect a partial table on a fresh island until the clear list progresses.

3131 The materials sold here are the same inputs gathered from the world, so they slot straight into refining and building chains:

3434 Because the per-unit Piastre rates run high, this station pays off most as a top-up when one ingredient bottlenecks a recipe, not as a bulk supply line. Compare it with the Merchant: Animal Products and Merchant: Food stations, which cover the other raw-goods categories.
