In addition to being able to find extra gold after battles, a merchant is also needed to progress through the story. An old man in a field on the North America-esque continent requires one to help him build a [[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest III)|town]], and will take a merchant regardless of their level. The merchant you leave will drop his/her items off at the [[vault]] ([[bag]] in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] and [[Game Boy]] Color Version). | In addition to being able to find extra gold after battles, a merchant is also needed to progress through the story.

Prior to being arrested, they obtain a [[Yellow Orb]] which he/she will inform [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|The Hero]] is in his/her house. The merchant will not be able to rejoin the party in the NES version. In all remakes and subsequent ports, the merchant will be freed from prison after [[Ramia]] is hatched. Said merchant will be playable again if approached, and will wait for the player in [[Aliahan]]. | ||
