PSA: The Masterworking cache at the bartering NPC (Den) now contains a ton of Obducite.

It appears that every person I told in game were shocked, so I decided to give this more visibility.

The Masterworking cache sold by the bartering NPC at the Den, that on S6 gave 20 Obducite, now gives 750/1000/1250 Obducite (one of these 3 values, randomly) on T4.

I have maxed out the Obducite buff from season's blessings (ashes) which may or may not be relevant. Also, make sure to max all your mercs to get 8/8 upgrades on the NPC to max your chances of getting the cache when refreshing the stock.

That's all, enjoy responsibly :)

EDIT: There seems to be a confusion about mercenary upgrades, so let me clarify a bit:

On the NPC's interface at the very bottom, you can see its upgrades (from 1/8 to 8/8). You upgrade your bartering NPC when you max out rapport on the 4 mercs.

Every maxed out merc is +2 on that scale (you get +1 halfway through each merc's rapport)

So when you max all 4 you get 8/8 on the NPC and you have the maximum number of listed items/caches for sale.

To upgrade your mercs' rapport, you need to hire them. When you're playing solo, the hired merc upgrades faster than the hired reinforcement. When you're in party, the hired merc does not get any upgrades, only the reinforcement one does.

And yes, it's important for getting Masterworking caches when you refresh.
