The Merchant is a playable character class in the MMORPG Ragnarok Online. Known for their expertise in trade and commerce, Merchants specialize in buying and selling goods, haggling for better prices, and managing the game's economic aspects. They are essential for crafting items, vending, and carrying heavy loads thanks to their high weight capacity. Merchants can later advance to powerful classes such as Blacksmith or Alchemist, playing a vital support and economic role within adventuring parties and the Ragnarok Online world.
