Merchant experience is passive, you get exp just by having your vendor stand there. Also you get exp everytime someone clicks on the vendor. You can also get exp by charging an entry fee at the door.

Place as many exp vendors in the basement as you can even if you aren't using them to sell anything, until you hit your merchant skill goal.

You probably just need to relog to update your exp screen. It use to be bugged like that, not updating till relog, but supposedly they fixed that.

You also don't get xp unless your vendors are loaded into the world.

If nobody comes near them for a while, they will unload.

When somebody walks up to them, they will load again and soon after, they will catch up on all the xp they missed while they weren't loaded.


If you have remote vendors, try visiting them and see if it gives you all the xp you were missing.

Sometimes you don't get the XP until you actually visit one of your vendors.


I was trying to get one more skill box in the merchant tree. I had three vendors in world and I had calculated that I would have the XP I needed when I logged in. After I logged in I checked and my merchant XP had not moved. I rode out to my shop and after I clicked on the "use vendor" menu option I received all the XP at once and the notification that I now qualified for the next skill box.
