the peddler has reached his final stages.
you can now meet him in "better" mood and he sells you much more ... scrolls, potions, even loot items.
what he sells depends on the day... and you meet him randomly like before in the woods.
you can also (currently) buy or sell (sell only some items meant for sale) up to 3 items per day (NOT 3 sells/ 3 buys... more like 1 sell, 2 buys OR 2 sells, 1 buy etc) in his "better mood". These items will work 100% what they describe. Though are more expensive.
Have fun, this is my last new parting gift for some time.
