Mythic King’s Coin Vendors .... time to hunt!!

Mythic King’s Coin Vendors
Some new King’s Coin vendors have been hidden throughout the dungeons. These vendors will sell you a specific category of Mythic item for a substantial King’s Coin cost. We’ve increased the stack size for King’s Coins to 100 to help you take advantage of this new feature more easily.




I would like to add these to the map if we can find any. I have a feeling that it may be awhile though given how rare they are. Have been told that they look like Sam with a yellow vest on. Now where they are at this point no idea ... or even what exactly they sell is anybodies guess. Unless a dev wants to give us a little hint.

Sorry about that, for some reason I thought that Sam wore a yellow vest...
Look for the 'fat man' in your hunts.

Good luck all.

If logic should play a role, level 5-6-7 dungeons, and no algernon and dew valley as always, should be searched. Its a mythic trader, mythics are really rare so needs some effort to get it, and I think.. he will be on 5+ level dungeons

LR when has logic played a role in this game? Not going to comment on the "logical" changes made during this patch yet. Saving that for some further testing.

At this point Sally is found on levels 3 and 5, Sam is found on levels 4 and 7. If logical I would say level 2 and 6? But they realistically could be anywhere. I know this is going to be a tough one b/c of the rarity. Not as easy as the 1/4 chance of getting same.

Was just on 98 Build.

Sam will have Mythic XXX Category from time to time.

I think Sam will show in HDoL now. With a higher chance for mythics.

200 KC for body armor, less for other pieces.





This falls in line with Sam's random offerings. Can't very well be able to predict what kind of RB's he'll be stocking. Now can we?

/first!!!

I found a Mythic vendor Sam on Algor 4:

Linky 1...

Linky 2...

As you can see, he is a regular Sam in both looks and name. You have to read the text to see whether or not he sells Uniques or Mythics. In Algor 4, btw it's 1H Mage or Fighter Weapons and Shields if Unique, but only 1H Mage or Fighter Weapons if Mythic.

Btw, I found Sam as Ulrich (level 81), but couldn't purchase from him because I was too high in level. As you can see, these items are 100KC - how many players in the right level range (10 - 25) are going to have enough KCs to take advantage of this vendor? This brings a couple of thoughts to mind:

1) Should the Mythic prices scale to level?

2) Should Mythics be available to all players above the level of the dungeon, but not below? If so, it might be too easy for high level characters to find the vendor in low level dungeons, but if the prices scaled to their level it would at least still cost them quite a few coins...

I don't know if the price should scale to lvl or not. My thought is that with the ability to get coins from the relic drops and as drops from regular chests and critters, a low level player has pretty much the same chance to collect 100 KC as a high level player does. My only concern would be if it is really worth it due to the speed of gaining lvls when that low. A player will outgrow the items so fast, I personally could not justify spending the coin until I was higher level and things slowed down a little.

In regards to making them available to all players, even those above the dungeon level... That is a judgement call from player to player. Some will agree saying that don't mind as long as the player who found him offered a GoTo for everyone else while other players will say no, find it in your own level range. Personally, I could go either way with it and would not mind no matter what the Devs choose.

Grats on the find Ripper. A well deserved first for your resume.
