With Vessel of Hatred, the mercenaries came to Diablo 4, to support you in battle. On top of that, they bring their own merchant with them, where you can get gear and aspects, as well as the essential mats for crafting.
What kind of merchant is that? During the campaign of Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion of Diablo 4, you will unlock your mercenaries. But you will not only receive four companions to choose from, two of which you can recruit, but also the merchant Fayira. She is the adoptive daughter of the mercenary Raheir.
You can trade collected “Pale Tokens” with the merchant for loot. To obtain Pale Tokens, you need to gather rapport by recruiting the mercenaries and taking them along on monster hunts. Additionally, the merchant expands her offerings when you diligently level up your mercenaries.
Merchant in the hideout is not to be underestimated
How do I obtain important mats from the merchant? As soon as Fayira moves into your hideout in Nahantu, you will have the opportunity to trade with her. In exchange for “Pale Tokens”, you can receive important crafting materials for the endgame in Diablo 4. The number of items from the chests scales with the torment levels (via Blizzard, Patch 2.1.0).
On Reddit, a player points out that the “Completion Chests” at the merchant can contain “tons of Obsidian”. He received between 750 and 1,250 Obsidian from a chest at torment level 4. Another user also writes on Reddit: The merchant in the hideout is underrated. He also reminds that you can refill her offerings once per day for free.
How do I unlock the Completion Chest? To expand Fayira’s offerings, you need to level up your mercenaries and unlock rapport ranks. All mercenaries have trade upgrades that expand your offerings. You receive the Completion Chest when you reach rapport level 8 with Varyana. Whether it is available then is random, but you can refill the offering for 100 Pale Tokens.
What else do I get from the merchant? At the merchant in the mercenary hideout, you can obtain various items and mats, including:
- Equipment, including ancestral items
- Aspects for your gear
- Chests with summoning mats for bosses
- Chests with scattering prisms, gem fragments, runes, and other crafting mats
- Chests with Obsidian and Oboluses
Have you checked out the merchant’s offerings in the mercenary hideout yet? Or are you already well equipped with gear and mats for the endgame? The community is currently discussing loot drops again, as some feel overwhelmed by the flood of items. Others find it just right – especially because they can finally craft properly.
