[Master BOB]

I started to play Adventure mode, or at least tried to (and died multiple times). After finally finding out the most relevant stuff, I managed to find a merchant. But he doesn't trade and instead tells me that i better look for a merchant. I can't believe it's supposed to be like that, or is it?
I used the search for information about that, but didn't find any posts about that problem (but helped me in some other cases). They don't even have stuff lying around in their rooms, as written here in the forum.

Maybe you are talking to them while they are not at their shop?

[Master BOB]

Since I can't find any room with stuff on the earth, I really don't know whether they are in their shop or not. I'm happy if I find them at all. I searched three cities for about 3-4 hours and was only able to meet two merchants, but no "romm with stuff on earth".

Here's a picture of a shop:

[Master BOB]

There was no room like that, not even in the dwarven capital. Only small and narrow rooms and corridors. Merchants look like Masons (might be different with other races). Hm, let's see if I can get a screenshot...

Here we go:

Their position seems to vary, but maybe only at sunrise/sunset. But no matter how long I search, there is definitely not such a room (at least inside the 4 cities I was searching - including the dwarven capital). Everything looks more or less like on the first picture.

I play verion 0.23.130.23a (if that matters).
And don't wonder about the looking of my char, it's a Warhammer-like slayer and wears no armor except trousers.

I don't think dwarves have shops in adventure mode right now.

[Anticheese]

AFAIK you can only buy from the Hunams.

[Master BOB]

Only humans? That means that I have almost no chance to play an elven Wardancer or dwarven Slayer   .

[Frogman]

If you play as a dwarf, you can grab armor and stuff from your abandoned/destroyed fortresses.

[Master BOB]

I already took two steel axes to become a true demonslayer   . Unfortunately there's no difference between this and the use of weapon+shield (yet, I hope that will be implemented so that I have even more speed). But the good speed (no armor at all) and the fact that I always have a ready second weapon if the first one gets stuck/lost isn't bad. Great work for a 0.23 alpha version!
Any suggestions how I can become faster? I slayed some gremlins at my fortress and became "extremely strong" (well, these bastards were/are really strong opponents, I must admit - no chance that I can ever pass my entrance hall). Now I'd like to train some speed. Not that 1000 from the beginning is bad, but I'm pretty sure it can be trained somehow.
And is there any system in how the races are spread on the map? You know, not that I walk west all the time just to find out that there are only kobold archers there   . Sooner or later I'd like to sell/buy something.

Stat-ups are random and are triggered by grinding up a skill.

[TotalPigeon]

Actually, stat ups are related to the total amount of experience your dwarf has. Its on the wiki...  here

[Master BOB]

Thank you for all the information.
