This guide will detail the locations of Pal Merchants and Wandering Merchants, as well as how to capture them, allowing you to set up a convenient mini-market right in your base.

Capturing a Merchant involves a tactical approach. Engage in battle with a Merchant, ensuring not to provoke nearby NPCs. When the Merchant’s health is low, use a high-quality Pal Sphere to capture them. Afterward, evade the Wanted status by using a flying mount, and then safely return to your base. Once there, assign the captured Merchant to work and interact with them as a new member of your team, enhancing your base’s resource capabilities.
