In Lyhjem there are all kinds of merchants that Valec and the others have to deal with.

Weapons dealer

At the weapon dealer you will get new weapons, depending on your character level. In the status window on the right side, you can see all status changes at a glance.

Arms dealer

Depending on your character level, you can get new armor and equipment accessories at the armor dealer. In the status window on the right side, you can see all status changes at a glance.

Barter

Larger cities often have a marketplace. At the various market stalls, Valec can barter with the merchants. If you have all the necessary items with you, you can purchase the offered item. Money is not required.
