Villagers and town keepers

22 friends

Who lives in the village and keeps the towns, what they sell, and how to become their friend.


The friends who live in and around the village, and the keepers of the towns out in the realms. Walk up to one and press E to talk. Shopkeepers sell basic goods for about twice their worth and buy things back for about half; rare things only come from play and trade.

In the towns

Out in the realms, a town sits at the heart of many regions: safe ground where no creatures come and nobody can dig or build, with a workbench, anvil, furnace, campfire and cookpot for anyone to use. Your first visit to a town counts as a discovery and makes it a fast-travel point. Each realm has one keeper, who runs the trading post in every town of that realm. Keepers buy materials, food and fish.
