Albert Jr.

Albert Jr. is a roaming gold merchant and the only NPC who buys items from players in exchange for Gold. This makes him arguably the most economically important character in Heartopia. Without Albert Jr., players have no way to convert their fish, crops, cooked dishes, insects, and other items into the Gold currency needed for seeds, recipes, furniture, and vehicles. His daily location rotates, requiring players to track him via the map marker.

Finding Albert Jr.

Albert Jr. appears at a different location each day, and his position is marked on the overworld map for easy tracking. Experienced players build their daily routines around his location, gathering items throughout the day and then making a single efficient selling trip. Since he is the sole buyer of goods, planning your trips to coincide with his route saves significant travel time.

As a roaming merchant, Albert Jr. does not follow a fixed schedule, so he may appear at any time during the day at his designated location. He accepts virtually all sellable items, and the transaction is immediate. Building a relationship with Albert Jr. through consistent trading is a core part of Heartopia's economy, and his wandering nature adds a dynamic element to the daily gameplay loop that prevents routines from becoming stale.
