Merchant

The Proving Grounds shop — starter gear, potions, chests and cosmetics.

The Merchant is the shop in the Proving Grounds, where every new Hero begins. It sells starter gear to get an adventurer going, handy potions, loot chests and event cosmetics.

📍 Jump in: Open the Merchant in Pawtato Land

Everything the Merchant sells is soulbound — bound to your account, never sellable or transferable. To shop you need at least one staked Hero or staked Land. There's no level or reputation requirement to buy.

Prices double as you buy. Each purchase of an item doubles that item's price; after a reset window it returns to normal. Check an item's timer before buying again. Most items reset every 24 hours; chests and event cosmetics reset every 14 days.

Starter Equipment

Basic practice gear. The Class column is the class that can equip the item — any Hero can buy it, but only the listed class can wear it.

Item	What it is	Cost	Class
Training Sword	Starter 1-hand weapon	TATO	Knight, Rogue
Training Staff	Starter 2-hand weapon	TATO	Druid, Mage
Training Bow	Starter 1-hand weapon	TATO	Archer
Leather Vest	Body armor (Medium)	TATO	Druid, Rogue, Archer, Knight
Leather Cap	Head armor (Medium)	TATO	Druid, Rogue, Archer, Knight
Linen Vest	Body armor (Light)	TATO	Mage, Druid, Rogue, Archer
Linen Band	Head armor (Light)	TATO	Mage, Druid, Rogue, Archer

The Merchant sells no Skill Scrolls — every staked Hero knows the Skill Pounce automatically, for free.

Potions

Each purchase grants one. See Potions.

Item	Effect	Cost
Stamina Potion	Restores 10 Stamina to a Hero	TATO
Lesser Health Potion	Removes 1 Injury stack	TATO

Chest	Contains	Cost
Wooden Weapon Chest	A randomly rolled weapon	1000 Influence
Wooden Armor Chest	A randomly rolled armor piece	1000 Influence
Wooden Accessory Chest	A randomly rolled accessory	1000 Influence

Event Cosmetics

Purely cosmetic Visages that only appear while the 1st Anniversary event is running.

1st Anniversary Crown	Head Armor	TATO
1st Anniversary Robe	Body Armor	TATO

How to buy from the Merchant (step by step)

1. In the Proving Grounds, open the Merchant (you need a staked Hero or Land).

2. Browse the catalog. Each item shows its price, its currency (TATO or Influence), and a timer if you've recently bought it and its price is still doubled.

3. Select an item and confirm — TATO or Influence is deducted, and the (soulbound) item lands in your Backpack.

4. Remember the price doubles per purchase, so if you need several of something, spacing purchases past the reset keeps them cheap.
