Merchants System
Complete guide to Palworld 1.0 merchants: types, locations, key inventory, and 1.0 new merchants.
Mechanism
The merchant system lets you buy materials, spheres, recipes, and food with gold. There are three types — regular, wandering, and black market — each with different goods and locations.

| Small Merchant | Inside settlements | Food, berries, cooking ingredients |
| Wandering Merchant | Random map locations | Random materials, spheres, rare recipes |
| Black Market Merchant | Secluded spots, caves | Rare materials, high-tier spheres, illicit recipes |
