Got my Battle Tower, am deep into the main questline, and Sassan has yet to replenish her gold or restock new items. Will she not restock or am I not doing something right?

What you actually need to buy from her? From what I remember, she dont actually sells any important or useful things.

No. I just use her to sell items and she ran out of gold and won't resupply.

Every merchant will eventually run out of gold if you just sell but never buy from them. It will also depends on how much gold they start off with. Sassan is one of those that start up with little gold.

Hmmm. That kind of sucks since there far fewer merchants in the game compared to other games.

There are actually quite some merchants in fjords and aleroth. Weapon and armor smith usually had more gold to spare, ranging from 20k+ onwards. And there already 3 weapon smith merchants in fjords.

Merchants in top room (EaglesNest) if you dont kill them after killing the kinky couple...also Merchants in Aleroth after you find 3 parts to the airship quest...the one in aleroth sells 9legendary items as well as the merchant in High Pass.... smile

What is this about killing a kinky couple later in the game, that's just wrong. You should be able to bring them to your battle tower. grin

As for merchants I now destroy most of my loot or never even pick it up. I don't even have my battle tower yet and I've accumulated over 20,000 coin. Waste of time going to a merchant and selling it as they give you a pittance for it.
So unless one has to pay the lackey's in the battle tower a wage I can't forsee a need for much merchant use to get coin as coin is pretty much useless in this game.
Only thing I've paid for is enchanting and that is cheap, like 150 coin I believe. All my equipment was salvage or loot.

20k gold? Not even enough to fully equip all 3 runners. It needs 40k+ gold for that. If you do not know, locked chest contents scale according to your level. The later you open it, the better it can be. I collected 90% of locked chest only before battle tower fight, and each piece of gear, it can be easily sell ranging from 500+ gold to 1k+ gold. I make over 100k gold before obtaining my battle tower like this grin. You need gold to purchase legendary gear during the second half of the game, if you want to make easy advancement. Good ones can sometimes reach 10k+ per piece of gear.

I'll just give them equipment out of my backpack, I have 10 enchanted weapons and like 20 pieces of enchanted armor.

500 to 1000 is not even worth running all the way back to a merchant for me. As I said I've not bought one piece of equipment yet. Heck don't even use potions now that I have 3 healing. Never even need that usually as most NPC's are dead from range before they even touch me.

I've already got legendary monk's armor out of some locked chest. Also have some legendary leggings (forget which) as well off a creature I believe. And the rest is Heroic. Not even using the legendary leggings as I have a different set with better enchantment and charm added stats.

I don't even take most loot anymore as it's just a hassle sorting thru it all and then finding a merchant.

As for the runners I'm just slapping on them whatever I have I'm not buying them special armor and weapons. Don't have the runners yet but I suspect I'll hardly use them either. Heck I have 51 greater healing potions and over 100 lesser I never use so those just keeps building up.
Have over 100 of most plants. Never use those either, they just keep building up. Only hard plant to find is Black rose, only have 13 of those.

Yea that guy out of the morgue has major cash I see. Almost 30,000 I think it was.
Where did he get that kind of cash living in a broken down dungeon. aargh

EDIT:
Oh and I see what you mean by needing money now with the runners. mad Stinks the way they have it set up where you only can buy things for them.
Wish you could use stuff out of your inventory and give it to them.
I only sent one guy out so far though to get me some aquamarine as I needed a couple more for a enchantment.
