The Warden has access to a precious few merchants in the game during Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening and Witch Hunt. Each has a limited stock which can vary depending on plot choices, but a few have Unlimited Supplies for some items.

Mechanics Edit

Prices Edit

Main article: Item value

Selling looted items to any merchant always yields the same price at one-fourth the item value. One exception is Gorim, who pays twice as much if the Warden is of the Dwarf Noble origin. The other one is Armaas in Awakening, who pays less.

Each merchant charges differing prices, offering a fairly standard markup to the item's value for selling items to the party. Every merchant has its own markup, which is the same for all items traded with him or her.

Buyback Edit

Items bought within the session (before closing the trading screen) will show the price the item was bought for, allowing you to sell back the item for the same amount paid. Same for the sold items, which can be bought back for the price they were sold for. After the trading screen is closed, the items sold to the trader will be priced at the usual full price + markup, and the items bought from him will only yield the usual selling price.

Tips Edit

Loot sold at either the Party Camp or Warden's Keep will remain in these merchants' respective inventories. Though the buyback list is cleared when the PC exits the merchant's window, the merchant will keep what was sold to them. This means that the PC can still buy items back, albeit at a higher price, as long as the merchant remains available. The party camp merchant will reset his inventory twice based on certain plot events. Consider using these merchants for items to recover some day, and avoid selling them extraneous junk, as this will make it more difficult to find useful items sold to them.

The party camp merchant also has the highest prices in the early game (50% markup), so avoid buying from him what you could find elsewhere.
