1. Fast travel to Small Settlement
Unlock the statue there early; it is the default merchant hub and the safest trade run in the game.
2. Buy the boring things
Seeds, Cake ingredients (Flour, Milk, Eggs, Honey) and ammunition. Buying these instead of farming them saves hours.
3. Sell smart
Sell duplicate low-tier Pals, surplus Paldium and excess raw ore. Do not sell schematics you have not learned.
4. Watch the stock rotation
Merchant inventories refresh on a real-time cycle. If a Pal Merchant does not have what you need, fast travel away and return.
5. Capture a merchant
Throw a sphere at a Wandering Merchant and assign them to your base for a permanent shop next to your Pal Box.
