Overview

Merchants are the travelling and settlement-based vendors who support Atsu’s journey through Ezo. They are not confined to one town or one region. The base game’s merchant network extends across the six principal regions surrounding Mount Yōtei, with additional vendor activity in smaller settlements, market districts, camps and roads. A merchant may sell dyes, clothing, armour-related items, supplies or other equipment, so the generic map label does not by itself establish what a particular vendor offers.

This distinction matters because Ghost of Yōtei separates several kinds of commercial NPC. A settlement may contain a general trader, an armour vendor, a dye merchant, a weaver, a blacksmith or a temporary merchant connected to a tale. These should not be merged into one universal shop type. Some vendors are fixed in settlements, some are associated with travelling caravans, and some appear only after a story or activity condition has been met.

The base game’s world is divided into Yōtei Grasslands, Tokachi Range, Ishikari Plain, Nayoro Wilds, Teshio Ridge and Oshima Coast, with Mount Yōtei treated as a smaller side area rather than a full main region. The first three regions are available early, while Ishikari Plain, Teshio Ridge and Oshima Coast are tied to main-story progression.
