Vendor

A vendor or merchant is an NPC in any of the main towns across Path of Exile 2's Acts. They offer various items for sale with item levels comparable to the player's level, up to a cap. The player may also sell items to a vendor for Gold or disenchant items for currency shards.

Vendor types

Each town area has three types of vendors:

• Weapon/armour vendor: A vendor that sells martial weapons and armour
• Caster/trinket vendor/Disenchanter: A vendor that sells magical weapons, jewellery, flasks, charms, and Scrolls of Wisdom and can disenchant items into currency shards
• Gambler: A vendor that sells equipment with random base type and rarity

Some vendors may need to be unlocked through quest or story progression for them to appear in a new playthrough.

Some non-town areas also contain special vendors who may have a modified selection of items to sell.

Recently sold items sold for Gold can be re-purchased from the Buyback tab in case an item was accidentally sold. Items that are disenchanted or salvaged cannot be reobtained.

Vendors will refresh a portion of their stock whenever you level up. The Gambler gains additional chances to purchase items when you defeat unique items.

Disenchanting

Any non-Normal rarity items can be destroyed and disenchanted for crafting currency shards. This process is irreversible. The resulting currency shard is solely based on the disenchanted item's rarity:

• Magic items give one Transmutation Shard
• Rare items give one Regal Shard, or two if it has 6 modifiers
• Unique items give one Chance Shard, or two if it has 6 modifiers

Gambling

Gambling lets you buy an item base of a random rarity, from a choice of a random weapon, armour of each primary/hybrid attributes, or jewelery. During main campaign you can only buy a limited number of items from gambling vendors. This amount increases whenever you kill a unique monster and can store up to 100 purchases. This limit is removed once character reaches Endgame.

Merchant maximum item level

The cost of gambling is based on the item class and highest possible item level of the item bought. The item level will be the same as or lower than your character level until hitting the merchant's maximum limit. The exact formula is unknown but non-linear.

Maximum Item Level per vendor

Act	Vendor	Maximum Item Level
Act 1	Finn	15
Act 2	Risu	32
Act 3	Alva	44
Act 1 Cruel	Finn	51
Act 2 Cruel	Risu	58
Act 3 Cruel	Alva	64
Endgame	Alva	82

Item Class Costs

There are eight different cost tiers. Note that quivers and jewellery have a different formula to armour and weapons. This is most stark when comparing belts to two-handed weapons.
