Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s latest addition to its list of games known for memorable boss battles. Since its launch, the game has become popular enough for players to attempt all sorts of challenges. With all of the flashy bosses and spells in the game, most players tend to forget the humble merchants who serve the people in the game.
Merchants are the lifeblood of Elden Ring’s thriving economy, which is already not in the best place it can be after The Shattering. No matter the circumstances, these merchants will not leave their posts and will do their best to serve any worthy Tarnished that find them, in return for runes of course.
There are more than 30 merchants in Elden Ring scattered across the various regions in the Lands Between. To make it easier, we will be grouping merchants that operate in similar locations together so that you can always find someone when you need to spend those hard-earned runes.
Not all merchants have the same stock, however, which is why we will also be listing what the merchants carry so that you can visit the nearby relevant ones. A lot of the general stock is still the same, so if you’re looking to replenish arrows and the like, you should get them at any merchant.
Each merchant will be represented by the stock they sell and their appropriate rune cost as well.
List of all Elden Ring merchant locations
Roundtable Hold
To start off, we head to the main hub location of Elden Ring, the Roundtable Hold. The merchants here are few but they are reliable enough to get you started. There are also a few unique merchants here that serve a purpose that no other merchants in the game can.
