Wuchang: Fallen Feathers features two shop NPCs to whom you can sell your various items and gear. However, you’ll need to fully upgrade each merchant to access all available stocks and important merchandise in their store. If you want to unlock all Wuchang: Fallen Feathers shop items, then this merchant progression guide will help you fully upgrade both Tao Qing and Wu Gang.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Merchant NPCs Tao Qing and Wu Gang
Tao Qing and Wu Gang are the only shop NPCs in Wuchang: Falle Feathers, so they’ll be your primary source of items outside of loot drops. Tao Qing provides you with special armor sets, while Wu Gang provides some armor sets and other consumables and spells. Both of them have locked stocks that you can only purchase once you’ve given the NPCs certain valuables.
