== Item stocks Items Stocked on Defiance==A trader will always start with the following items in stock:* 3 [[farwalker stone]]s* 3 [[farwalker twig]]s* 3 [[large magical chest]]s* 1 [[personal merchant contract]]* 3 [[resurrection stone]]s* 3 [[Rod of transmutation|Rods of Transmutation]]* 1 [[settlement form]]* 3 [[shaker orb]]s* 3 [[sleep powder]]s* 3 [[small magical chest]]s* 3 [[steel and flint]]s* 1 [[trader contract]]* 3 [[tuning fork of metal detection|tuning forks of metal detection]]

Once all of the items in any of these categories is bought, the trader will always have at least 1 in stock on the next trade.
