Buy items from Traders
Buy some items from any Trader.
Traders have a wide stock of Items available for sale in many Categories. As you progress, your Trader Stage will increase and Traders will stock more Items as well as offering new, higher Quality items for sale.
Each Trader also Specializes in specific Categories. For instance, Trader Rekt has a Specialization in Food and Seeds which means he has more Meals for sale, while Trader Jen is Specialized in Medical supplies and stocks more Bandages.
Prices at Traders are based on your Barter statistic, which can be modified by items like Consumables and some Armor.

Complete Quests
Complete some Quests from Traders.
Traders offer several Quest types which reward the player with Dukes, XP, and Items. Quests must be returned to the Trader that you accepted them from. A Quest at a POI will fail if you leave without completing all objectives.
Start a Quest by approaching the Activation Marker, identified by the Yellow exclamation point and activating it with [Activate] [Activate].
WARNING: This will cause the POI to Completely reset, removing ANY player placed Blocks, including Containers, Building Blocks, and Decorations. This reset is Permanent and Irreversible so make sure you double check before you Activate the marker.
Placing a Bedroll, or Land Claim Block, will protect the POI from being Reset in this manner.
