Necesse: How to Recruit the Pawnbroker

I. The Pawnbroker's Role:

The Pawnbroker offers several key advantages:

• Improved Selling Prices: Keeping the Pawnbroker happy directly increases the value he assigns to goods you sell him. This is crucial for maximizing your profits.
• On-Demand Trading: Without the Pawnbroker in your settlement, he only visits periodically. Recruiting him allows you to trade at any time, providing greater flexibility.
• No Expedition Costs: Unlike some NPCs who require payment for expeditions, the Pawnbroker's services are readily available once he joins your settlement.

II. Meeting the Recruitment Requirements:

The Pawnbroker has two recruitment conditions. Fulfilling either of these will make him willing to join:

III. The Recruitment Process:

Once you have fulfilled either of the above conditions, you can approach the Pawnbroker and ask him to join your settlement. He will then agree to become a resident, offering his valuable trading services.

IV. Strategic Considerations:

• Early Game Focus: If defeating the Ancient Vulture seems challenging early on, prioritize expanding your settlement's population to 8 settlers. This is often the more accessible route in the early game.
• Boss Progression: Defeating the Ancient Vulture is a significant milestone and will unlock other content besides the Pawnbroker. Consider tackling this boss when you are adequately prepared.
• Happiness is Key: Once the Pawnbroker joins, prioritize keeping him happy to maximize his valuation of your goods. A happy Pawnbroker means higher profits for you.

By understanding the Pawnbroker's requirements and strategically planning your recruitment efforts, you can secure this valuable NPC for your settlement and benefit from his enhanced trading capabilities. Whether through defeating the Ancient Vulture or building a bustling community, the Pawnbroker is a valuable asset for any aspiring settlement leader in Necesse.
