The weary merchant and slobbering trollocs have been changed so they will swap clan trinkets for their base items. You can trigger them by saying "exchange" or "trade".
Please note that you have to give the items to him one at a time. If you give him more items in one go, you may just get one item back as opposed to more.
All clan trinkets should now be set to the values of the base items.
I will be going over the clans whose trinkets I changed yesterday to make sure the proper amount of qps are deducted for issuing the clan trinket and to allow you to swap the appropriate base item for the clan equivalent.
To hear what the base items are, go to the clanmob that normally issues your clantrinkets and say exchange. This should work for most clans.
