| − | Merchants are well-rounded in terms of physical prowess, able to match a [[soldier]] in terms of attack power and defense so long as their Credit holds up. Magically, a merchant can weather multi-target damage fairly well in spite of poor intelligence growth if built for it, but single-target damage will still be a notable concern. Merchants are among the best classes when it comes to grinding due to being able to easily accumulate bonuses to gold find and item find, as well as the ability to bank items from anywhere.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Overall, merchants can fit in with most any party and hold their own.

| − | == Equipment ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Merchants can equip Swords, Abaci and Daggers. They use Medium to Heavy Armor. In their offhand slot, Merchants equip coin bags which offer defense and stat boosts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Credit System ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The merchant does not have mana in the normal sense. Instead they use a system called Credit to activate their abilities. A Merchant has a maximum of 600 credits and gains these credits by either attacking or being attacked.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Skill Trees ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Skill Trees are the basis of leveling and customizing your character in NEStalgia. The skill tree menu unlocks at level 5 and at that point the player will be able to customize their character with available skill points. There are two ways to gain additional points:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Gain an experience level, which grants one point.<BR>
| |
| − | *Progress through the plot of the game, which grants one point after completing the main quest connected to Verity's lighthouse and an additional point after completing the main quest connected to the Arctic's ice palace.<BR>
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of v1.68 this allows for a maximum of 30 points to spend.
