What the Merchant looks like.
The Merchant is easily recognizable by his distinctive appearance. He is a man of large proportions, with a completely bald head. His eyebrows are very striking, standing out on his face. In addition, he has a mustache and beard of a unique tone, combining gray with blue.
His characteristic clothing is a long green vest, which he always wears. This vest gives you an elegant and sophisticated look. But what stands out most about him are the suitcases he carries with him. He always carries one on his back, and others hanging on each of his arms.
The Merchant's commanding presence makes him stand out wherever he goes. His figure and clothing draw the attention of all the people around him. His appearance is unique and difficult to forget.
Where can you find the Merchant?
The Merchant will only appear when you reach the town hall level 8. Once you are there, you will see a tent with a carpet in front and some barrels with magic items, it is always located towards the left side of the Clan path.
If the merchant is there, you will see him right outside the tent waiting for you. When you get close, he will take out a magic item from his pocket.
When you are on a level lower than 8, you will see the tent and the carpet, but these are rolled up and it will have a sign with the Merchant's face.
What the Merchant offers
You will find different magical objects such as books, potions, runes and many more, the only thing you will not find in this "store" are hammers. You also won't be able to get too excited about shopping, since you'll usually only be able to carry a specific amount of magical items. For example, you can only carry 5 of each potion or 1 book of each category. If you already reach these limits, no matter how many gems you have, the purchase will not be completed until you spend one of the magic items you already have.
The Merchant offers you 3 different offers for a certain amount of gems and this cost can vary each day. The offers will be available for a certain time and the game will show you a counter so you can see how much time you have to accept them. As soon as one offer runs out, a new one will appear to give you another chance.
There are several occasions when the Merchant becomes somewhat generous and gives you the items for free or at very cheap prices. This usually happens when Supercell is celebrating an important date like its anniversary or Christmas.
