Saturday Market: Vendors, Unlocks & Upgrades
Every Saturday, traveling vendors fill Mistria's town square. Here's how to unlock the market, what all eight vendors offer, and how the two upgrade quests expand it.
🛒 Quick Answer
Complete the story quest "Repair the Bridge" (Adeline offers it in your first spring; it takes 60 Wood + 60 Stone) and the market opens every Saturday with 4 vendors. Two later story quests add 2 vendors each, for 8 total.
How the Saturday Market Works
The market runs every Saturday, with stalls in the town square and in front of the Manor House — the final upgrade adds a mini plaza west of the Blacksmith. Stock rotates weekly, and some of Louis' clothing rotates by season, so it pays to walk the stalls every week.
A gifting bonus the wiki highlights: talk to the characters standing in front of Darcy's stall and they'll tell you about a Liked or Loved gift available from her stall that day — an easy way to shop for hearts. Pair it with the Gift Finder to see who loves what you just bought.

Unlock & Upgrade Quest Chain
- "Repair the Bridge" — unlocks the market itself with the 4 base vendors. The follow-up quest "Greet the Vendors" walks you through meeting them.
- "Upgrade the Saturday Market" — a later town-repair story quest; adds Taliferro and Wheedle. (Town Rank 65 opens the Saturday Market upgrade per the progression guide.)
- "Expanding the Saturday Market" — the final expansion, part of the completed 1.0 town-repair questline; adds Stillwell and Zorel plus the mini plaza west of the Blacksmith.
Stillwell's Stall: Weekly Slaying Quests
Stillwell, the fortune-telling vendor, sells nothing — he posts one monster-slaying quest per week, completed in order. Each pays 100 Renown plus a furniture recipe from the Monster Set:
| # | Quest | Target | Where | Reward Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Green Sapling Surprise | 20 Green Saplings | Upper Mines | Sapling Beanbag Chair |
| 2 | Rock Clod Catastrophe | 20 Rockclods (any) | Any biome | Rock Clod Garden |
| 3 | Mushroom Madness | 20 Green Mushrooms | Tide Caverns | Mushroom Sofa |
| 4 | Enchantern Explosion | 20 Blue Enchanterns | Tide Caverns | Enchantern Lamp |
| 5 | Staggering Stalagmites | 10 Green Stalagmites | Deep Earth | Stalagmite Spike Tile |
| 6 | Essence Gone Batty | 20 Blue Essence Bats | Deep Earth | Essence Bat Garland |
| 7 | Malicious Mimics | 5 Mimics | Any biome | Mimic Storage Chest |
| 8 | Flame Spirit Shocker | 20 Flame Spirits | Lava Caves | Flame Spirit Lamp |
| 9 | Lava Cat Conundrum | 20 Lava Cats | Lava Caves | Lava Cat Double Bed |
| 10 | Flying Tome Trouble | 20 Flying Tomes | Ancient Ruins | Floating Tome Lamp |
| 11 | Rock Stack Smackdown | 20 Rock Stacks | Ancient Ruins | Rock Stack Shelf |
| 12 | Gryphon Grapple | 10 Living Gryphon Statues | Ancient Ruins | Void Gryphon Statue |
Ask Stillwell about the week's monsters and he'll tell you where to hunt them — the mines guide maps every biome.
Zorel's Stall: Music for Your Farm
Zorel sells the game's music-customization system, added in 1.0:
- Song Crystals (5,000t each) — 22 tracks, including every marriage candidate's theme (March's "What Do You Want?", Juniper's "Something's Brewing", Seridia's "Rebirth"…) plus ambient pieces like Crystal Caves and Rainy Window.
- Crystal Resonators (20,000t each) — the placeable players that actually play your unlocked songs, in 10 colors from Black to Void.
Taliferro & Wheedle Highlights
Taliferro runs 12 weekly cooking challenges, in order, from Rice Ball to the "legendary" Beet Soup — each worth 100 Renown plus Cooking/Kitchen Set furniture and its recipe. He tells you how to get the recipe for the current dish if you ask.
Wheedle is the luxury stall: elemental Snake Oils (5,000t, imbue your sword for 6 hours), the Teleportation Pad (8,000t, requires Home Upgrade 4), the Bath Soap that unlocks the Bathhouse Date (100,000t, requires that you're dating someone), Fast Food speed snacks — and a 999,999t Halo for the truly rich.
⚠️ Can You Gift Stillwell & Zorel?
The community wiki does not document gift preferences for any Saturday Market vendor — Stillwell and Zorel included (both are also listed as "Unavailable" for marriage). Until verified gift tables exist, we don't publish Loved-gift lists for them, and they are deliberately absent from our Gift Finder. Everyone you can reliably gift is in the gift guide.
FAQ
How do you unlock the Saturday Market?
Complete the story quest "Repair the Bridge" (60 Wood + 60 Stone, offered by Adeline in your first spring). From then on the market runs every Saturday in the town square.
Why don't I see Stillwell and Zorel at my market?
They only appear after the story quest "Expanding the Saturday Market", the final 1.0 market expansion. If your market still has 4-6 vendors, keep progressing the town-repair questline.
What gifts does Zorel love?
Unknown — the community wiki does not document gift preferences for Saturday Market vendors, Zorel included. We only publish verified gift data, so she isn't in our gift tables yet. What is verified: her stall sells Song Crystals (5,000t) and Crystal Resonators (20,000t).
Who are all the Saturday Market vendors?
Eight in total: Darcy (café), Vera (hairstyles), Merri (furniture) and Louis (clothing) from the start; Taliferro (cooking challenges) and Wheedle (deluxe goods) after the first upgrade; Stillwell (slaying quests) and Zorel (music) after the 1.0 expansion.
How do you upgrade the Saturday Market?
Through story quests, not money: "Upgrade the Saturday Market" adds Taliferro and Wheedle, and the 1.0 quest "Expanding the Saturday Market" adds Stillwell, Zorel and a new mini plaza west of the Blacksmith.
