How to Get John Wick’s Dog in Fortnite (June 2026) Unlock the Sidekick
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 (the Runners season) brought John Wick back to the Battle Pass — and this time,…
The Traveling Merchant is one of the most valuable NPCs in Wizard Alchemy — he sells exclusive items like Race Rerolls, Ice Geodes, and Enchanted Stones you simply can’t get anywhere else. The catch? He spawns on a timer in random spots across the Sea of Oblivion, and if you don’t know where to look, you’ll miss him entirely. In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly when he spawns, his most common locations, everything he sells, and how to find him faster than other players.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Spawn Timer | Every 15–20 minutes |
| Duration | ~10 minutes per appearance |
| Map | Sea of Oblivion |
| Notification | In-game chat announcement |
| Currency | Gold |
The Traveling Merchant appears every 15 to 20 minutes somewhere in the Sea of Oblivion. He stays for roughly 10 minutes before sailing off, so there’s a real urgency to locate him quickly once the announcement drops.
The moment he spawns, the game sends a chat notification to all players on the server. This is your signal — as soon as you see it, hop on your broom and start heading toward the most common spawn zones.
Pro Tip: You’ll need a Broom to access the Sea of Oblivion. If you haven’t unlocked it yet, grab one from the portal at Departure ISL beach.
There’s no single fixed spawn point — his location is random every cycle. However, players have identified three areas where he shows up most consistently.
This is the most commonly reported spawn point. When the chat notification appears, head directly behind Magic Forging Island first. Many players find him docked here regularly, making it the best first stop in your search.
Right next to Magic Forging ISL sits the Qilin Sanctuary. The merchant’s boat frequently spawns directly in front of this island. If you don’t find him behind Magic Forging, pivot here immediately — it’s a quick detour.
The third common zone is behind the Spirit Nature Islands. When checking this area, make a quick turn near the teleportation portal — the boat tends to appear tucked behind the island on both sides.
All items are purchased with Gold, earned through quests and boss fights. Stock is completely random each visit — you won’t see every item below every time.
| Item | Gold Cost |
|---|---|
| Earth Shard | 150 |
| Dark Shard | 150 |
| Wind Crystal | 200 |
| Fire Crystal | 200 |
| Dark Crystal | 200 |
| Earth / Dark / Light Cluster | 250 each |
| Race Rerolls | 250 |
| Wind / Ice / Earth Geode | 300 each |
| 2x Loot Potion (30 min) | 300 |
| Ice Monolith | 400 |
| Enchanted Stone | 1,000 |
| 5x Alchemy Luck Potion (10 min) | 1,000 |
| 2x Loot Potion (10 min) | 100 |
