Just a small suggestion I thought of: When out vanquishing I get a full inventory in most runs and in some zones there are merchants I could use to empty my inventory but often once i've seen them for the first time I forget where to find them. My suggestion is that these merchants are marked on the mini map (default U) in the same way collectors currently are. You might say i'm lazy and should just look for them, people seem to purposely pick apart an idea for stupid reasons in Sardelac but I generally think this would be a simple yet constructive addition.

Holding alt or cltr down will either instantly show you humans or NPCs inside an outpost. Just hold down the correct on and you can instantly see where all the NPCs are.

Outposts arent that big, that it takes more then a few seconds to find merchant.

He means in Explorable Areas, not Outposts -.-

Yes, some Explorable Areas DO have Merchants.

Half the reason I can't be bothered vanquishing Snake Dance is because there are 400+ foes (according to Wiki), and that means I'm going to leave a very large amount of cash behind, especially since I'll have to continue through to Lornar's aswell.

A gold coin can be used as a marker, it wouldn't be hard to update the map and add a merchant to each zone. Giving all collectors a sell options would be nice too.

I think that should be standard. Like in Factions that you have a merchant, in each shirne. It's too bad that not all areas have a merchant. I'm all for it. I have found myself many times where I have to choose what items I take with me.

Oh... I thought they were shown on the map. Can you not sell items to collectors?

Yeah, it's a pain not to be able to sell anything in most explorable zones. That suggestion to add a sell option is a pretty good one.

And they should have 1 merchant per an area. I mean, I'm not gonna run all over Snack Dance so i can find that 1 merchant standing under some cliff.

For big maps(Snake Dance, Barbes Seabed..etc.) around 10-20 merchants would be nice....so you don't have to run very far to get to them.

/signed to having merchants in maps. Would help emptying inventory during vanquishing, etc. so you don't have to lose items

If you could select them by clicking the map, i agree... if not, whats the point? You will still have to work you way through the imense liest of names that pops at the screen and select it... that is IF no one moves!

Although this is a good idea, there is a problem with this is... merchants (unlike collectors) can be killed. Agrro some guys towards the Luxon/Kurzicks shrines if you don't believe me. Collectors however, are never targetted by monsters.

So... the mini map could the location for a guy... who doesn't exist anymore, since he's been killed.
So... minor problem, but it would have to be addressed.

Not all areas have... but those that have should have them shown.

There could be a 'gold coin' icon for all traders, merchants, armorers, artisans that offer services in explorables.

I never remember that there are some neat artisans in some areas.

Im signed for adding them to all instances and especially all levels of dungeons to clear your bags out. Or we could just make it so we can sell to collectors since there is usually one in most places.
