Merchant Locations and What to Buy

Add to Watchlist

Merchants can be found in most areas and they sell items in Elden Ring Nightreign. Check out the merchant locations and what to buy from merchants in this guide!

Merchant Locations

Merchants can be found near Forts, inside Campsites, and in Townships throughout Limveld. They sell useful items that help you become stronger and increase your survivability during fights. Where there are merchants, there are also forges. These are used to upgrade the stats and rarity of your equipment using Smithing Stones.

Merchants are Usually Found in Campsites or Outside Forts

The merchant and the forge can be located inside Campsites, but they are found outside Forts. Find bonfires in these areas to locate the merchant.

What to Buy from Merchants?

  1. Talismans
  2. Consumable Items
  3. Smithing Stones
  4. Wending Grace (Singleplayer)

Talismans from Township Merchants

Talismans from Townships Merchants

Talismans are the best items you can purchase from merchants since most of the one's sold by Merchants are good (Erdtree's Favor for +HP and Stamina or Dragoncrest Shield for +Phyiscal Damage Negation).

However, do note that only Township Merchants sell Talismans, so it may be worth the trip to this POI in order to get at least one of them for your run.

Buy Consumable Items

If you have a lot of Runes to spare, buy consumable items like the Uplifting Aromatic and the Crimsonspill Crystal Tear, which are useful in boss fights.

These consumables become extremely useful when you get the relic effect where the consumable effects are shared to nearby allies.

List of All Items

Buy Smithing Stones to Strengthen Weapons

Smithing Stone 1 IconSmithing Stone 1 Smithing Stone 2 IconSmithing Stone 2

Prioritize buying Smithing Stones to upgrade your weapons and make them stronger. Smithing Stone 1 is available to buy from all merchants for 6500, while Smithing Stone 2 is only available from merchants inside Townships for 18000.

How to Upgrade Weapons

Wending Grace for Cheating Death

Buy Wending Grace

Wending Grace is a consumable that lets you automatically revive after getting downed, like the passive skill of the Wylder. This is especially useful when fighting Nightlords since it grants you an additional safety net from failure.

Regular Merchants sell Wending Graces if you're playing in Singpleplayer mode. Given it's 10000 Rune price tag, its best to buy this during Day 2 since you'll want Day 1 runes going to levels first.
