Tips

Most trades follow the standard pattern: hold or drop the item(s) on the NPC's hex, click the NPC, then click talk.
Some NPCs require you to drop the items before talking; others require you to hold them. Try both if one doesn't work.
Items like the Silver Dagger require an intermediate step (gem encrusting) before the final improvement.
