Merchant
The Merchant is the backbone of Rune-Midgarts' economy, buying low, selling high, and accumulating Zeny long before other classes spare it a thought. On a classic 1x Pre-Renewal server, the class shines through its passive skills Discount and Overcharge, which cut purchase costs and boost NPC sell prices to maximize profit on every farming run. In combat, Merchants rely on STR and heavy weapons (Axe / Mace), dealing steady physical damage, while Mammonite and Cart Revolution provide solid solo capability on mid-tier maps. Merchant is a transitional class by design — every skill point invested is a stepping stone toward the forging mastery of Blacksmith or the brew-and-boom craft of Alchemist.
