There are nine merchants in both Qeynos and Freeport that are part of the Social Status system.  Five of these merchants are Faction Merchants and four are City Merchants...

* The items sold by these merchants will be available to the all ranks accept recruit...

Who and Where are the Faction Merchants?

Faction Merchants correspond to the five factions within your home city.  Both Patrons and Followers can purchase status rewards from Faction Merchants using personal coin.  Prices on these merchants should be the same for both Patrons and Followers.

Faction merchants are typically located near their corresponding writ givers.  They can be found in the following locations:

Qeynos

1. The Qeynos Guard: Merchant Aldermun - up the first set of palace stairs, then off to the right of the stairs in a cubbyhole.
2. The Concordium: Merchant Shinolio - first floor of the mage tower flanked by a flying carpet.
3. The Tunarian Alliance: Merchant Trillium - up on the Arbos tree platform.
4. The Celestial Watch: Merchant Meredeth - inside the Temple of Life, flanked by two spirit steeds.
5. The Ironforge Exchange: ? (presumably inside the Ironforge Exchange behind the estate - currently there is only one NPC there that is neither a writ giver nor a faction merchant).

Freeport

Who and Where are City Merchants?

City Merchants can be accessed by Patrons only.  Patrons can use their personal status points to purchase status rewards from these merchants.

Qeynos

2.  South Qeynos:  City Merchant Jowling – second story of The Herb Jar  (vial symbol on the map)
3.  North Qeynos:  City Merchant Tatterhorn – inside the armor shop, Call to Arms.
4.  Eldarr Grove:  City Merchant Mirthmire - inside Antonica's House of Pottery (bow & arrow symbol on the map)

What types of things can Patrons purchase from Status Merchants?

The status reward inventory that Patrons have access to at Status Merchants are similar to the ones that Followers have at Faction Merchants.  The main difference in the rewards are the way they are "flavored".

Some examples of this would be:

• a nice painting to hang in your home;
• a nice new uniform to wear around town;
• a cool piece of furniture that others could admire.
• a cool title with a thank you letter from a faction for all of your hard work on behalf of the city.

Followers have access to the same item “types” (i.e. furniture, art, clothing, etc.) at Faction Merchants, but the specific items may differ.
