Roblox Prospecting now has a Traveling Merchant who wanders around the various locations, selling premium items that can improve your gear and sometimes alter the luck of the entire server. However, he only appears for a short time and has limited stock. So, if you don’t want to miss his deals, read through our Prospecting Traveling Merchant guide.
Prospecting Wandering Merchant - Respawn Times & Items
The Traveling Merchant in Prospecting spawns exactly at XX:45 in every server and will stay for a maximum of 30 minutes. If all items are sold earlier, he will disappear.
