The Wandering Trader is a limited event in Anime Expeditions where a hidden merchant sets up shop in the lobby and sells rare items for Gems. He appears in a random spot, stays for a short window, and his stock is capped, so the whole event comes down to finding him fast and spending Gems before he leaves.
Quick answer: Buy 15 items total from the Wandering Trader’s shop using Gems. That single action clears all three event quests and rewards 120 Event Coins.
Where to find the Wandering Trader in the lobby
The Wandering Trader spawns inside the main lobby area, not on a battle stage. He does not use a fixed spot. Each time he appears, he picks a different random corner of the lobby, so the exact position changes from spawn to spawn.
A reliable landmark is the Showcase area near the signpost that points to Spawn and Showcase. The trader has tall, spiky dark green hair and round glasses, and a green “Wandering Trader” label floats above his head. Walk the lobby edges and open corners until you spot that label.
He only stays for a short duration, so approach him as soon as you see him. If you leave the lobby or wait too long, you may need to catch him again on his next appearance.
Wandering Trader shop stock and prices
The shop accepts Gems only. Each item is limited to 5 purchases, and the counter shows how many are left. Once you clear the stock, it refills when the trader spawns again, so buying to the quest total can mean waiting for a restock.
| Item | Cost | Limit | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stat Lock | 250 Gems | 5 per restock | Keeps one chosen stat fixed when you reroll a unit |
| Stat Reroll | 250 Gems | 5 per restock | Rerolls a unit’s stat potential |
Both items are Mythic rarity. A Stat Reroll changes all of a unit’s stats at once, covering Range, Damage, and SPA (Speed/Seconds Per Attack), with ranks running from F up to Z. Pair it with a Stat Lock to protect a single stat so only the rest gets rerolled. The trader can also rotate in additional goods such as Trait Crystals, so check what is in stock each time he appears.
Event quests and Event Coin rewards
Every quest is a purchase counter tied to the shop. You do not need a specific item, only the number of buys. All three stack toward the same total of 15 purchases.
| Quest | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Wandering Trader Customer 1 | Buy 5 items | 20 Event Coins |
| Wandering Trader Customer 2 | Buy 10 items | 40 Event Coins |
| Wandering Trader Customer 3 | Buy 15 items | 60 Event Coins |
Finishing all three adds up to 120 Event Coins. Buying 15 items at 250 Gems each costs 3,750 Gems if you stick to a single item type.
How to complete the Wandering Trader event
How to confirm the quests are done
Each purchase ticks the quest counter up in real time. In the Events tab, the Wandering Trader event shows an overall progress bar, and hitting 3/3 (100%) means all three Customer quests are complete and the 120 Event Coins are yours.
If your count is not moving, the usual reasons are simple. You may be short on Gems, since each buy costs 250. The item may show “Out of Stock” or “5 Left” has already hit its cap, meaning you must wait for a restock on his next spawn. Or the trader may have left the lobby before you finished, which pauses your buying until he reappears at a new random spot.
The Wandering Trader ran as a limited event during the Release Update (0.0) window of July 23rd to July 25th UTC, so treat every spawn as a chance you may not get again once the timer closes. Keep a Gem buffer ready, patrol the lobby the moment you log in, and clear the 15 purchases in as few visits as possible. You can jump straight in on the Anime Expeditions Roblox page and start hunting for the merchant right away.
