I would highly recommend playing this game through once without using any guides as it greatly increases the enjoyment in my view, and nothing will be spoiled for you.

I would get any missed achievements on subsequent playthroughs.

Well-to-do

If not you can always save, sell everything to him to make enough, buy it and reload. Other notable options are that Tiffmoor has lots of Mountain flowers which he will pay 2 Glowstone for. The women in the tree also buys Scragweed for 3 Glowstone.

He can be found in Nava.
