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.14151516Tips16171718Use 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.18191920See Also20212122Craft StationsBase BuildingCraftingMerchant Contract: Natural ResourcesMerchant: Animal ProductsMerchant: FoodSmelting FurnacePiastres
