The '''merchant''' is a type of bonus [[shop]] which appears {{FE13}}.  Merchants take on two forms that work in similar ways, both appearing on various locations on the [[world map]]. Both provide the temporary ability to purchase rare items which otherwise are not available at that location's [[armory]].

==Traveling merchant==
Traveling merchants are a means of purchasing items that don't normally appear in the shops they appear on. These merchants, as portrayed by [[Anna]], take over the typical [[armory]] space at the location they appear at, and offer the armory's typical fare in addition to three randomly-selected items that depend on the location. These items often, but not always, are sold at a slight discount from their regular sale price. The randomly-selected items are only sold once per appearance of a particular merchant.

Traveling merchants typically appear at random; however, the player can force one to appear by using a [[Rift Door]].
Traveling merchants typically appear at random. However, the player can force one to appear on their present location by using a [[Rift Door]].


In the event a traveling merchant appears on the same space as a swarm of [[Risen]], the player must fight a [[skirmish]] against those Risen. In this case, merchants appear as [[NPC|non-playable units]] on the map; protecting them all will net the player a random item.
In the event a traveling merchant appears on the same space as a swarm of [[Risen]], the player must fight a [[skirmish]] against those Risen in order to buy from the merchant. In this case, the merchant appears as a [[Unit|non-playable unit]] on the map; protecting the merchant will net the player a random item, but conversely the merchant will disappear from the map if killed in this skirmish.


The below is a list of items that can appear at any given shop whenever a traveling merchant visits it:

A traveling merchant welcomes you to her shop.

The merchant is a type of bonus shop which appears Fire Emblem Awakening. Merchants take on two forms that work in similar ways, both appearing on various locations on the world map. Both provide the temporary ability to purchase rare items which otherwise are not available at that location's armory.

Traveling merchant

Traveling merchants are a means of purchasing items that do not normally appear in the shops they appear on. These merchants (who are all Annas) take over the armory at the location they appear at, and offer the armory's typical fare in addition to three randomly-selected items that depend on the location. These items often, but not always, are sold at a slight discount from their regular sale price. The randomly-selected items are only sold once per appearance of a particular merchant.

Traveling merchants typically appear at random. However, the player can force one to appear on their present location by using a Rift Door.

In the event a traveling merchant appears on the same space as a swarm of Risen, the player must fight a skirmish against those Risen in order to buy from the merchant. In this case, the merchant appears as a non-playable unit on the map; protecting the merchant will net the player a random item, but conversely the merchant will disappear from the map if killed in this skirmish.

Below is a list of items that can appear at any given shop whenever a traveling merchant visits it:

SpotPass and StreetPass merchants

A merchant function is also a component of Awakening's SpotPass and StreetPass systems. Whenever a unit encountered via either appears on the map, an option called "Buy Items" appears when parleying with that unit. If a player chooses to do so, they can buy one of any item held by any unit on the team; only one of a particular item may be purchased, even if the team has multiple of that item in their inventories. Aside from a specific list of restricted items, any item can potentially be purchased from StreetPass and SpotPass merchants, including any forged items which will retain their forged stats and name. Once you've bought items from the team, that team vanishes from the world map, leaving you unable to battle against the team or recruit its leader.
