In this guide, we are going to go over everything you need to know about the Traveling Merchant, as well as her wide variety of stock. First, let's take a look at who she is and where you can find her.
Who Is The Traveling Merchant?
The Traveling Merchant is a saleswoman who appears on certain days of the week in Stardew Valley. She will sell ten items as well as a furniture piece. On occasion, you may find her 'special stock' items available.
From the Traveling Cart, you can find a variety of goods that may be difficult to find elsewhere. You can find items outside of their normal season, which also means that prices at the Traveling Cart are inflated.
Prices vary for each item, but they are usually sold for more than the item's original price. There is no standard for prices, but be prepared to spend a lot of money.
When Does The Traveling Merchant Appear?
The Traveling Merchant will appear every Friday and Sunday between 6 am and 8 pm. She will appear in the window of her cart when the shop is open, but the window will remain empty after the shop closes. The cart is pulled by a pig wearing a fez and glasses.
You can also find the Traveling Merchant at the Night Market. This is an annual market event that takes place from Winter 15 to 17. The market is open from 5 pm to 2 am. Each night of the Winter Market, the Traveling Merchant will sell her usual goods. The cart is located directly to the right of Willy's fish shop.
