Find Haldor, earn coins and buy Megingjord

Haldor lives in the Black Forest. The community reference places possible camps at least 1,500 meters from the world center, where the starting Sacrificial Stones stand. Search beyond the immediate starting region. His first discovered camp becomes permanent and a bag icon appears when you approach; no universal direction or starting-island location is guaranteed.

1. Combine the search with mapped Black Forest exploration. Trace accessible coastline, then scout inland from secure landings so a coastal pass does not leave the island’s interior unchecked.
2. Mark explored stretches and return points. If a route turns into unfamiliar Plains or a dangerous landing, keep sailing or choose another approach.
3. At the bag marker, locate the camp and establish a named portal nearby where construction is allowed. Test both directions before leaving the boat.
4. Leave your spending money at home during the search; bring it through the portal after the route works.

Save coins and valuables from Burial Chambers, abandoned-building chests and the dungeons you already know how to clear. Trolls also drop coins, but fighting one solely to finish a small budget is optional. Later crypt and Fuling trips add income while supplying progression materials.

Carry the valuables you intend to sell into the camp and use the shop’s sell control. Put any pieces you want to keep in storage first: sold valuables cannot be bought back. Haldor, Hildir and the Bog Witch pay the same rates.

• Example budget: 500 saved coins + 10 rubies + 10 amber pearls + 30 amber = 950 coins. These are planning quantities, not guaranteed dungeon loot.
• Count the money before shopping, and keep a separate reserve for the purchase that matters next. Transport surplus loot with the hauling and storage guide.

Use the extra capacity for shorter trips between the resource pile and transport. Keep enough room for food, repairs and unexpected drops instead of filling the entire allowance before you begin.

1. Select Megingjord in Haldor’s shop with at least 950 coins and inventory room, then buy it.
2. Equip the belt from your inventory and check the carry limit. The normal 300 limit becomes 450 while the belt is equipped.
3. Keep watching both weight and free slots. More carrying capacity does not create more inventory squares.
4. Before switching to Wishbone for buried silver or Wisplight for mist, unload below the lower limit. All three use the same accessory slot.

The 1.0 release also adds inventory upgrades at Haldor and names Deeper Pockets and Wider Pockets as purchasable upgrades. Inspect his current shop before spending the whole reserve. Their exact prices, unlock requirements and capacity changes are not yet verified here; the table above covers selected older purchases.

Choose against the limit you actually reach: carrying weight and free inventory slots are different problems. These shop purchases are optional projects. For kitchen ingredients sold by a different trader, use the Bog Witch journey.
