Wandering Trader Event
When Wandering Trader is live, a merchant appears at a random spot in the lobby and offers a small shop stocked from a shared item pool: Trait Reroll, Equipment Reroll, Equipment Lock, Stat Reroll, and Stat Lock, each restocking at up to 5 units in stock, priced between 250 and 500 Gems apiece. A rare sixth item, a Luck Potion product, also has a small chance to appear at a steep 10000 Gem price with only a single copy available per appearance.
The trader only ever offers two items from that pool at a time, chosen randomly, and that selection is locked in for the entire visit rather than refreshing. Once the merchant despawns, roughly two hours after appearing, the shop closes completely and does not return with a fresh stock until the event's next scheduled appearance, so unpurchased stock does not carry over or roll again on a delay.
Because the shop's contents are random and temporary, Wandering Trader rewards checking in regularly during the event's active window rather than waiting, since a visit that happens to roll two high-value items, especially a shot at the rare Luck Potion, will not repeat until the trader spawns again.
Details
How Wandering Trader works
Unlike the Event Coin shops tied to Boost and Update Events, Wandering Trader deals exclusively in Gems, making it a direct trade of one of the game's core currencies rather than a bonus economy layered on top of normal play. The merchant spawns at a random lobby location, and its stock is drawn from a shared pool but only ever shows two items at once for that particular visit, so what is available is partly luck-based every time the event runs.
Item pool and pricing
The trader's common pool covers the game's reroll and lock economy: Trait Reroll, Equipment Reroll, Equipment Lock, Stat Reroll, and Stat Lock, each priced between 250 and 500 Gems with up to 5 copies in stock per visit. A rare Luck Potion product also has a small chance of appearing in the two-item selection, priced steeply at 10000 Gems for a single copy, making it a high-cost gamble reserved for players sitting on a large Gem surplus.
Best strategy
Since the shop's two-item selection locks in for the entire visit and does not restock until the trader's next scheduled appearance, checking the lobby as soon as the event goes live is the only way to catch a favorable roll before it potentially sells out. Prioritizing whichever reroll or lock material is currently scarcest in a player's own inventory generally beats gambling on the rare Luck Potion unless Gems are otherwise sitting unused.
