Mammon's Shops: Trading for Ancient Adena
Shops that take Ancient Adena
By taking part in the struggle for the Seven Signs, you collect Seal Stones of different colors. They can be exchanged for ancient adena - the money used back when the Titans still ruled over Aden.
The Brotherhood of Mammon
Ordinary shops do not accept ancient adena, but they are very popular with the Brotherhood of Mammon - an ancient organization of merchants seeking unlimited power over Aden. Their shops offer everything that is very hard to get the usual way, even for a lot of money: from enchant scrolls to exchanging one weapon for another. The range of goods can amaze even seasoned travelers.
Where to find the Brotherhood
| Representative | Where to find them |
|---|---|
| Priests (Priest of Dawn, Priest of Dusk) | wander the towns looking for new converts |
| Traders (Trader of Mammon) | the deathly silence of the Necropolises |
| Blacksmiths (Blacksmith of Mammon) | the pitch darkness of the Catacombs |
Traders and blacksmiths appear only when one of the sides - the Lords of Dawn or the Revolutionary Army of Dusk - wins certain Seals in the struggle for the Seven Signs. They announce their arrival with a loud shout. Blacksmiths and traders move around often and never stay in one place for more than half an hour.
What the Brotherhood offers
From other articles in this section:
- Trader of Mammon sells A-grade crystals for ancient adena (see Crafting) and Greater Dyes for tattoos (see Dyes and Tattoos).
- Blacksmith of Mammon inserts special abilities into A-grade and S-grade weapons and removes them for free (see Weapon Special Abilities).
- Black Market Trader of Mammon exchanges ancient adena for regular adena 1 to 1.
Additional notes
From the l2db article "Mammon description" (Chronicle 4-5 era) - more about the Trader of Mammon's services. He accepts only ancient adena (AA), and for enchant scrolls also Blank Scrolls (BS).
- Unsealing A-grade sets - requires the item itself and ancient adena.
- Sales: all kinds of Crystal Scroll: Enchant (AA + Blank Scroll), Gemstone A, Blessed Scroll, A-grade crystals and tattoo dyes (AA only).
- Crafting A-grade duals (requires a Dualsword Craft Stamp).
- Weapon exchange and upgrade. Exchange works only within one group: put the weapon in your inventory, select yours first, then the one you want. An upgrade moves the weapon to the next group for ancient adena; you cannot skip a group. For example, a Crystal Staff (group 6) becomes a Sage's Staff (group 8) via a Cursed Staff (group 7).
