Cat Merchants are one of the most useful features in Tales of Seikyu. While most resources can be gathered through farming, fishing, exploration, crafting, and combat, Cat Merchants provide a reliable way to obtain materials that might otherwise take considerable time to collect.
Whether you’re looking for food ingredients, weapon upgrades, crafting materials, furniture, textiles, fish, accessories, or rare crops, these traveling feline traders can save a tremendous amount of time. Some merchants are easy to find along major paths, while others are tucked away in hidden corners of the map and can be surprisingly difficult to locate without knowing exactly where to look.
This guide covers every currently known Cat Merchant location, including their inventory and item prices.
Tales of Seikyu Cat Merchant Locations Guide
Cat Merchants are scattered throughout both the overworld and the Ruins. Each merchant specializes in a particular category of goods. Unlike general stores, these merchants offer targeted inventories, making them valuable whenever you’re searching for specific resources.
Some merchants sell basic materials that are useful during the early game, while others stock rare items that become important for advanced crafting, upgrading equipment, decorating your home, or completing production chains.
Checking merchant inventories regularly can save hours of gathering, especially when you need only a handful of materials to finish a project.
