Merchant is a first class of the Merchant line, built around economy, mobility and sturdy melee. Merchants turn wealth into power — discounting their purchases, running player-run shops, and spending Zeny mid-fight for huge burst with Mammonite. They lean on the Pushcart for storage and cart-based attacks, master axes for extra damage, and stack STR and VIT to stay durable while they grind and trade. The class later branches into the Blacksmith (forging and axe/mace combat) and the Alchemist (potions, homunculi and plant summons).
