Guild Wars 2

As the titles says i’m wondering what the difference between them what do they do i’ve been looking everywhere online can’t seem to find out, like does the BL Merchant Contract spawn an npc in front of me or what how do these work?

BL Merch gives you a Merchant that sells Gathering Tools/Salvage Kits whereas the TP pick up gives you a Trading Post employee (aka allows you to pick up from the trading post).

From what I’ve read, I don’t think the TP Pickup contract spawns a Trading Post NPC the way the consumable does, I think it just lets you use the TP pickup icon from anywhere without having to be physically in front of the NPC.

Ok thanks for the heads up guys one more question is it like the gem store versions where an ally can access it aswell?

From experience, I can say you are absolutely… incorrect. It spawns an NPC which shows up on the Minimap (and provides the appropriate icon), lasts for more than 5 minutes (includes death animation/time), and are useable only by you.

You can’t re-activate it until the old ones disappear, meaning there is a window where you can’t spawn/use the TP via the item.
