Wandering Trader

Buying: Uber Coins (20452)
Paying In: Mithril / Platinum / Gold / Silver coins
Appearance: Random


Overview

Somewhere out in the world, a Wandering Trader quietly makes his rounds. He's on the hunt for Uber Coins and he's willing to pay an absolute fortune for them. The catch? He never stays in one place for long, and he only ever announces a short list of cities where he might be — you'll have to search the streets yourself to find him!

Every appearance is a little different: the price changes, the location changes, and sometimes he'll only trade with a specific job class that day. And on rare occasions, he's feeling especially generous and will pay out a legendary JACKPOT price.


How to Participate

  1. Keep an eye on server announcements. When the Wandering Trader shows up, a green announcement goes out to everyone on the server (and to Discord).
  2. Check the possible cities. The announcement lists a couple of towns where he might be — he's only really in one of them.
  3. Run around and find him! He'll be standing in town somewhere within the listed map. The first player to discover him triggers another announcement so everyone knows where to head.
  4. Talk to him and exchange your Uber Coins before he vanishes or moves on.

The trader only sticks around for 20 minutes per appearance — and he'll wander off to a new spot shortly after each player finds him. Be quick!


When Does He Appear?

The Wandering Trader's schedule is a closely guarded secret. He shows up at random times, on random days, and there's no way to predict his next visit with certainty.

Your best bet is to stay logged in, keep your Discord notifications on, and watch for the announcement!


Requirements

To trade with the Wandering Trader, you'll need:

Requirement Details
Base Level 255
Job Level 120
Job Class A random Trans class is required for each appearance — only that class can trade during that visit
Uber Coins At least 1 in your inventory

The required job class is announced along with the price when the trader appears. If it's not your class, you can still help your friends find him!

Possible Required Jobs

Lord Knight • Paladin • High Wizard • High Priest • Whitesmith • Sniper • Assassin Cross • Champion • Professor • Stalker • Creator • Clown • Gypsy • Star Gladiator • Soul Linker


Possible Locations

When the trader appears, the announcement will hint at a few of these cities. He could be hiding in any of them:

  • Prontera
  • Geffen
  • Payon
  • Alberta
  • Aldebaran
  • Izlude
  • Morroc Ruins
  • Comodo
  • Yuno
  • Lighthalzen

The Price

Every appearance comes with a fresh, randomly rolled price per Uber Coin.

Outcome Chance Price per Uber Coin
Normal Offer 99% Random
JACKPOT 1% 4B+

When a JACKPOT appears, a special red-flagged announcement goes out. This is the time to cash in everything you've got!


How You Get Paid

Because the sums involved are enormous, the trader pays you in stacks of zeny coins instead of raw zeny. You'll walk away with a neat combination of the following:

Coin Value
Mithril Coin (22554) 500,000,000 Zeny
Platinum Coin (22553) 100,000,000 Zeny
Gold Coin (22552) 50,000,000 Zeny
Silver Coin (22551) 10,000,000 Zeny

Each coin can be clicked to redeem it for its zeny value at any time.

Prices are always rounded down to the nearest 10M so you'll always get a clean handful of coins — no awkward leftover zeny to worry about.


Trading Limits

To keep things fair for everyone, a few limits apply:

Limit Value
Maximum Uber Coins per trade 5
Maximum Uber Coins per account per day 10
Cooldown between trades 5 minutes

The daily limit resets at midnight, so you can come back tomorrow for another round!


Tips for Success

  • Enable Discord pings for the events channel — appearances are announced there too, so you'll hear about him even when you're away from the keyboard.
  • Team up with your guild. If the required job class isn't yours, a guildmate might be able to rush to the trader on your behalf.
  • Free up inventory space before heading out — with JACKPOT prices paying out in piles of Mithril and Platinum coins, you'll want room to carry them all.
  • Stock up on Fly Wings or save points in major cities so you can warp in the second you see an announcement.
  • Save your Uber Coins for days when you can commit 20 minutes to the hunt — rushing to the trader only to run out of time is a heartbreaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

The trader moved! Can I still trade?
Yes! He only relocates within the same visit — just read the announcement for his new location.

I missed him. When will he be back?
There's no set schedule — he could return in a few hours, or not until the next day. Stay alert for announcements!

Do I have to be on a specific job to trade?
Only for that particular appearance — the required job is random and changes each time. Your Trans class could be up next!
