Traders, contracts and trust; the Sanctuary rebuilt

• The Sanctuary & its games

• Three new traders in the courtyard, each with a stall dressed for the trade and their own stock:
  • The Armourer (north wall, west of the gate): blades, armour and shields. A forge, an anvil and a weapon rack.
  • The Powder-Wright (north wall, east): bows and long guns. Powder kegs, muskets on the counter, a NO FLAME board.
  • The Apothecary (south wall, by the graveyard): rings, amulets, charms and remedies. A bubbling cauldron and shelves of glowing jars.
  • The Bone Merchant keeps a bit of everything, and pays best for materials and fish.
  • Traders pay a little more for the goods they deal in.
• Contracts. Every trader posts four, all different, drawn at random. They're rerolled after every expedition, except any you could hand in there and then.
  • Fetch: bring N of a material, e.g. Bring 10 Old Bone for 1,000 gold. Handed in at the stall; backpack and stash both count.
  • Deliver: bring an item of a kind at a rarity or better (a Rare or better shield). The cheapest one that will do is handed over, never anything you're wearing.
  • Slay / marksman / chests / delve: destroy N skeleton knights, kill N foes with a bow or musket, open N chests, reach Depth III. These count within one expedition and only if you get out alive. They're settled as you come home and wait at the stall as rewards to collect.
  • Progress shows as you play ("Old Bone 7 / 10 (Bone Merchant)", "Contract met: get out alive to be paid"). The run results list what was met.
• Trust. Each contract pays gold plus trust with that trader. There are six levels: Stranger, Known, Trusted, Valued, Friend, Sworn.
  • Prices: up to 20% off what they sell, and up to 60% (rather than 45%) of value for what you sell them.
  • Stock: a bigger stall (8 to 10 wares) and much rarer goods (average rarity Common+ at Stranger, about Rare at Sworn). A Sworn trader now and then keeps a Mythic back for you.
  • A new level restocks the stall at once.
• Materials drop from the dead and stack 30 to a slot:
  • Old Bone from skeletons (about one kill in three) and Grave-Iron Scrap from knights.
  • Grave Dust from ghouls and Ghostlight from wraiths.
  • Spider Silk and Venom Fangs from spiders.
  • Ember Ash from pyre skeletons and Hex Shards from hexbones.
  • Materials are scooped up as you walk over them, like gold, and fold into existing stacks in your pack and stash. A stack dragged onto a stack tops it up.
  • Each material has its own icon and ground model. The tooltip says which trader wants it, and "Sell all Commons" never sells materials.
• The trader panel replaces the old shop:
  • Wares and Contracts tabs, a trust bar with what the current level gives you, and rewards waiting to collect.
  • A gold ! floats over a stall when a reward waits there or a contract can be handed in.
  • The contract board by the fire lists every trader's jobs at once. Its sixteen notes go grey as contracts are done.
• The Sanctuary rebuilt:
  • Three round corner towers roofed in slate, with lit windows.
  • Buttresses, a stone plinth and a string course along every wall.
  • Strings of lanterns sagging across the courtyard, and iron sconces on the walls.
  • A well and a hand cart, with barrels, crates and sacks.
  • Worn flagstone paths from the fire to each stall, and slow motes of ash drifting in the firelight.
  • Everything repeated is a single MultiMesh, and the new lights are capped and shadowless.
• The Key Cutter moved a little south to make room.
