Minecraft Dungeons guide: How to use the new luxury merchant

Minecraft Dungeons revolves around one thing: gear. Everything you do in the game is in the quest to find better, more powerful, and rarer gear to make it easier to find, well, even better gear. With the Creeping Winter update, the camp in Minecraft Dungeons now has a total of five new merchants to use, as opposed to just two that only give you random gear. In this Minecraft Dungeons guide, we’ll go over the Deluxe Merchant and how his sky-high prices are justified by the powerful merchandise he has to offer.

Here’s how to use the Deluxe Merchant in Minecraft Dungeons:

What is the Luxury Merchant in Minecraft Dungeons?

The Luxury Merchant is one of five vendors added or changed as part of the free update launching alongside the Creeping Winter DLC. One of the biggest issues with Minecraft Dungeons in the past, and with the previously released Jungle Awakens DLC, was the fact that Minecraft Dungeons always lacked meaningful endgame content and how tedious it was to search for new gear. and power up. These five new vendors seek to change that by offering additional ways to purchase new gear or upgrade existing gear, as well as a rudimentary “trading” system for friends playing in your lobby.

The place of the luxury merchant is given by its name: this seller sells high-end products, at a high-end price. This vendor sells a limited number of items, but they’re pretty much guaranteed to be stronger than what you currently have equipped, though you’ll have to pay a pretty penny to secure the goods. Low supply + high demand = high prices.

How to use the luxury merchant in Minecraft Dungeons?

Using the Deluxe Merchant is easy! The first step is to find them, and the luxury vendor is located in the camp alongside all the other vendors. You can find them under the map area, where the training area used to be, if it helps, but in front of the temple which holds secrets that we cannot discuss here. Once you find them, you can use the action button (“A” on an Xbox controller) to talk to them and bring up the menu.

The luxury vendor will display between one and three pieces of gear for you to choose from. By default, only one will spawn until you complete the Luxury Merchant missions to expand their inventory (more on that below). You won’t be able to unlock all of the gear’s secrets, only its type, power level, and effects, so you’ll have to rely a bit on enchantments. However, if something here catches your eye, you can hold down the corresponding button to buy it. There’s no confirmation pop-up, but you have to hold the button instead of just tapping it.

Keep in mind that if you buy something, it won’t be immediately replaced by something else. You will either have to wait for the Luxury Merchant to restock, pay the restock fee (more on that below), or complete a mission for the Luxury Merchant (more on that below as well). Even if you have a large amount of emeralds stored, it can be a good idea to spend your money wisely, so you don’t waste it on restocking.

You also have a few more options here. If there’s something you want but can’t afford, or you’re interested in but aren’t quite ready to buy, you can “reserve” it by pressing the corresponding button in bottom of the screen when you highlight it. When you do this, the Luxury Merchant will not exchange that item for anything else when they restock or when you press the restock button yourself.

Speaking of restocking, you can actually do it manually! If you buy everything the luxury merchant currently has and want to buy something else, or if the luxury merchant doesn’t store anything you’re interested in, you can spend some money to manually restock the luxury merchant’s good . Keep in mind that it will cost more emeralds and the cost to restock increases each time you use it. And because the luxury merchant is more expensive, so are their restocking fees. It’s probably best not to overuse this feature.

If you have a habit of restocking a lot, the restocking fee will reset each time you complete a mission for the Luxury Merchant, which is the next thing we need to talk about.

If the included inventory slot alone isn’t enough to satisfy your shopping craving, consider upgrading the Deluxe Merchant with an expanded inventory. Most vendors have missions you can complete to both expand their inventory or capacity and reset their restocking fees, so you can focus on specific vendor missions if you use their services a lot. For the luxury merchant, expensive luxury goods are synonymous with rare and powerful bounties: bosses. In order to upgrade the Deluxe Merchant, you will need to hunt down “powerful” mobs which include bosses and mini-bosses.

Luckily, we have a step-by-step guide to beating just about every monster in the game, including the Arch-Illager or final boss. The first level, or the first mission, is to hunt down ten of these powerful monsters. Level two ramps up to fifty, which can take a while to accomplish, given that these powerful monsters usually only appear at the end of a level. Once you complete these missions, however, the Luxury Merchant will stock two or three items at a time, rather than just one.

You’ll still be able to reserve the individual items you want, buy what you want, and restock the Deluxe Merchant at your leisure (which will restock everything except reserved items), with more options to choose from! Don’t think of it as extra work to improve the luxury merchant, but think of it as a reward for doing what you would have already done: destroy huge mobs for big prizes.
