Who are Traders and Merchants in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, traders and merchants are NPCs that have an inventory of various items that you can purchase or barter for. Additionally, they also usually have a stock of gold, and you can sell any unwanted loot you’ve picked up.
Most traders and merchants in BG3 will have a set location and shop somewhere in the world. You can see trader locations by opening up your map and looking for the small ‘moneybag’ symbol. However, you will have to first unfog the map before these icons will be visible.
It will be obvious when you speak to them and they will have a clear dialogue option that allows you to open up the store inventory. With other merchants, the dialogue option may not appear until after you have fulfilled certain conditions. This could include completing a quest or finding an item for them. Still, other traders may be more ‘hidden’, so that the only way to access their stock is by clicking on the Trade button in the bottom left-hand corner during dialogue.

What is the role of traders in BG3?
Traders and merchants serve two purposes in Baldur’s Gate 3:
Therefore, even traders who don’t have useful stock can still help you get rid of items that you don’t want. You can clear out some of your inventory space and collect gold that can be spent on something more valuable.
How to trade with merchants and traders in BG3?
There are two different ways to open up the Trade screen with merchants and traders in BG3:
You won’t need to use the second option much, but there are a few traders who will never offer their stock through dialogue. Unless you are carefully looking for the Trade icon at the bottom, you would never know they have anything to sell.
Next, after you open up the Trade screen, you will see that you have the option in the center-top to click between Trade or Barter. The trade option will be the default and that simply means that you will pay the gold fee for any item you wish to buy. And you will receive gold for any item you wish to sell.
However, if you don’t have much gold, you can click on the Barter system instead. This will allow you to choose the item or items you wish to have from the trader. Then, you select items from your inventory to offer in exchange. The game will give you an idea of how equal in value these items are above the chosen selections. If you are offering items that are lesser in value than the item you want to have, then the trader may refuse you.
