Useful Notes

• If an item breaks the same time you try to pass the item, you still receive the money for passing the item.
• Merchants can only refund items that they have created, and not other Merchants.
• The Merchant can also choose to leave the village- if they do so, they won’t be able to die. However, they won’t be able to come back and using their night abilities.
