Candeth Keep Updated!
Thanks to Raging Wanderer of FF, Julian's Touch of TD, Azrakin of HG, ryan, Arkane Lord II of LC, Benevolent Fool, Misadventure of SC, Bob Down of SC.

NPCs - Candeth Keep Vendors
Route to Candeth Keep - see Shortcuts
Hand in salvage as part of the Salvage Titles quest to enter tree portal.
Note: tree vendors will not buy items over 10K in value. (See known patch issues.)

Odvik the Inn Keeper tells you, "Common over here! You look like you could use some food and good rest. Well your in luck, we've got plenty of both and no waiting."
Odvik the Inn Keeper tells you, "Come on back when you need a break from the daily smash and kill."

Rkos the Armorer tells you, "Welcome to our smithy. If you happen to be a Town Builder you can get some great deals from Tunlok. He's the weapons master who sells battle goods. We provide him with most of his weapons and armor."
Rkos the Armorer tells you, "Good luck in your battles."

Aun Amanaualuan the Elder Shaman tells you, "Welcome my friend. You have helped this town greatly. How may I server you."
 

In the center of the town is a Tree with a platform (as you can see in the screenshot). At the bottom of the tree is a portal that only those who completed the town builder/founder salvage quest at Wai-Jhou can enter. At the top are 3 vendors. Between the three of them they sell pretty much -every- item in the game you can think of. Level 5,6,7 Spell Components. Every cooking tool I could think of. Almost every cooking item except the specialty spices. All the fletching supplies. Usts, Intricate Carving tools. You name it, they probably sell it. They all sell at 140% of value, so not everything is the cheapest you can find, but it's fairly convenient and cheaper than some places. The one interesting thing to note is that they all buy everything at 100%(!) of an item's value.


That is all :)
