In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players looking to offload silver contraband will need to seek out a specialized merchant, as most vendors refuse to deal in the restricted item. Silver is considered contraband due to the ruling Vrakhiri vampires, necessitating a specific approach to selling it.
Players must first complete the "Into the Den" quest, which begins east of the Northern Foothill. This quest involves slaying a ravenous bear and investigating the remains of its meal. While the quest can be completed early on, its rewards are primarily useful for unlocking the ability to sell silver.
Following the completion of "Into the Den," players should travel south to Svartrau City. A note obtained during the quest will direct players to the city's Neustadt District. The Silver Trader can be found in the southwest corner of the city. When interacting with the merchant, players need to indicate their knowledge of his dealings in silver to initiate trade. Successfully completing this dialogue will allow the player to sell silver contraband for a significant profit, often exceeding the value of other common items looted by the player character.
Attempting to sell silver to the Silver Trader before completing "Into the Den" will result in the merchant refusing service. The quest itself is relatively short, primarily involving combat with the bear. Successfully selling silver offers a lucrative way to manage inventory and gain in-game currency. Any item marked with a white chalice icon signifies silver contraband.
