Limit on Festival Merchants?

[ElfGunn]

Is there a limit on how many FMs you can have at one time? I haven't seen one in my MA in donkey's years.

 

[Gladiola]

No limit, but things only appear in the MA when you don't want them. Try building lots of other mana-producing buildings and then they will show up.

Or just wait till you want Orc Nests and then like magic.....

Don't think there is a limit, I have 10 at the moment.

 

[ElfGunn]

Haha...I have a dozen, but I need more!

For mana or for seeds? In case you have not gotten that far yet, Festival Merchants will switch to producing seeds instead of mana at Halflings level or higher. So if you are still in Sorcerers and Dragons or Woodelves, those 2 chapters are the only chance you will have to produce FMs that make mana.

Hanging onto 8 mana-producing FM and three make seeds. Just got #11 today.

I have 23 "just in case" in my inventory

I bow to your "just in case" preparations. 23 FMs in reserve is the Elvenar equivalent of being ready for a full Zombie Apocalypse! lol

I found 15 Festival Merchants in a neighboring player's city. No limits on numbers as far as I can tell. I have 8 of them.

Ah, well... I'm just starting Halflings, so the FMs I have now I'll keep for mana, and any new ones will be for seeds.

That is probably a wise strategy. The daily prize buildings vary from event to event. Maybe I had bad timing, but I was in the Amuni chapter before I saw a daily prize building that was a better mana producer on a square for square basis than a Sorcerers and Dragons level FM.

Also, you should consider that Mana is far more easily gained than Seeds. 3 mill in Mana is not hard to make and keep, but 300K in seeds is a bit of work.

I have 17 out. I replace them with the updated ones as the crafting presents them. I find keeping them up to date important and easily done as they come up rather than adding more.

Ditto with orc nests of which I have 23 out.

An FM finally showed up in my MA, and is now producing seeds.

On a related note, I upgraded one of my gum trees to Chapter 11 before I realized that would make it produce seeds. The mana plants however, keep producing mana, and are now producing 3k per day. Not bad for one tile (tied to the Moonstone Library).

Updating my post from October last year (10), I now have 32 in Chapter 19! Working on levelling up my Sunset Towers.
