Unveiling the Identity of the Bookseller
Marcello is the enigmatic Bookseller who sporadically makes appearances in Pelican Town. Following the recent update, he now graces the town with his presence two times per season. Keep track of his schedule by checking the community calendar located outside Pierre’s General Store.
Being a crucial merchant in the game, Marcello offers a diverse range of skill books that can bolster your abilities and provide lasting buffs. These unique perks include increased experience gained post-combat and enhanced speed for various tasks. With prices reaching up to 25,000 gold, it’s advisable to accumulate as much wealth as possible before Marcello arrives in town.
Locating the Bookseller and Rediscovering His Hideout
The Bookseller can be found stationed at the northeastern edge of Pelican Town. His exact location may vary depending on your progress within the game. Initially, you can spot him north of the Joja Mart, while further advancement in the game will lead you to find him north of the Movie Theatre.
Keep an eye out for the Bookseller during his scheduled visits, signaled by notifications at the bottom-left corner of your screen or a blue hot air balloon icon on the community calendar. If you’re still struggling to pinpoint Marcello’s whereabouts, follow these steps:
- Commence your journey from Pierre’s General Store
- Proceed east towards the river crossing
- As you reach the eastward limit, locate a set of stairs that will guide you to the Bookseller’s spot
Once you’ve found him, you can peruse and purchase his diverse array of books, ranging from a few thousand gold to 25,000. These purchases entail one-time flat gold expenses, but you can also trade various resources like cooked dishes, rare items, wood, coal, and bait for these valuable boosts. Notably, the benefits obtained from these transactions are permanent, ensuring a lasting impact on your gameplay.
It’s crucial to note that the Bookseller’s offerings change with each visit, emphasizing the importance of saving up before his arrival. Aim to have a reserve of at least 30,000 gold to secure the desired items and avoid missing out on essential purchases from previous visits.
