Hello everyone, It's a me! here.
I feel like the Travelling Merchant needs a new function. He just appears 1 day and sells some random stuff, and then RNG messes up with the shop and we get useless stuff...
So I suggest trading.
Trading is something that is fairly useful. You see, to get all items*, we need to make various worlds. Trading is here to stop that. Here's an example:
You can trade anything (furniture, weapons, items...*) that has an alternative (for example, you cannot trade turtle shells). It could also be possible to trade dungeon bricks (and furniture) for their other colours, but you should be able to choose which colour.
As for Shadow Orb/Demon Heart items: you give one of the items to the TM and he gives you a choice of 3 items for you to choose from, all of them from the alternative ("For example if you trade in 1 rotted fork he'll return with 3 random shadow orb items. You can only pick one of them. " - @6359_ ).
And finally Boss drops: you can trade drops that have equal chance of dropping. For example, you can trade the Razorblade Typhoon with the Flairon (both have 20% chance of dropping) but not with the wings or mask. Trophies CANNOT be traded. The price of trading these items is higher, 2.5 times the normal value.
Since working with the rest of the community improves suggestions, let's get started with them.
The first suggestion is Exclusive items. When you trade, for example, the Cursed Flames for the Golden Shower, there is a very small chance for the result of the trade to not be the Golden Shower, but an exclusive weapon of the same tier.
*I know some people do not care about having everything, but variety is power.
*Regarding Keymolds: You cannot trade the keymold itself, but the items that you can get from the chests. That is because only 4 biome chests spawn, and having the key for the alternative chest would be a complete waste of time.

Trading is something that is fairly useful. You see, to get all items*, we need to make various worlds. Trading is here to stop that. Here's an example:
- You talk to the Travelling Merchant.
- Use the option "Trade" (like the Goblin's "Reforge").
- Place your item in the slot that appears.
- For a small amount of money (let's say x1.5 of the item's value, maybe less), said item is converted into its alternative, which means, Cursed Flames are traded for Ichor, Tissue Samples for Shadow Scales...

A spell of the same tier as the Golden Shower/Cursed Flames.
