The Wandering Merchant is a mysterious NPC who appears randomly in different locations across the Shifting Sands. They offer a rotating inventory of rare items, including unique Waverider Skins, powerful Relic Ability Upgrades, and sometimes even hints to hidden secrets. The Merchant only accepts 'Spirit Shards' as currency, which are primarily earned by completing Spirit Trials. Their locations are not marked on the map, but they often appear near major landmarks or after completing a significant main quest objective. Listen for a distinctive chime sound, which indicates the Merchant is nearby. It's advisable to check in with them frequently, as their inventory changes, and some items are one-time offers. Prioritize purchasing Relic Ability Upgrades first, as they significantly enhance your combat and traversal capabilities.
