or do i make friends with good trader who constantly have good stuff
and sell him too

Generally, I try to sell old gear to vendors that don’t sell gear themselves. This makes it easier to browse their stuff without sifting through your old crap. Making friends with vendors is as easy as offering a small portion of the gold you probably stole from them to begin with, so having 100 attitude vendors is easy.

Fort Joy doesn’t have many good vendors, though Nebora is worth a look as she is guaranteed to have a green tier ring every reset that often has a skillpoint on it. She also sells sticks and rocks and other basic crafting items that can prove useful. Needle and thread after combining them, mixed with a scrap leather can make a decent statless chestpiece if you’re hurting on gear, and if you buy every arrow crafting item every reset from every vendor, you can invest about 1000 or so gold to make 12-15k worth of charm arrows later on. I’ve had about 500 in early act two from this. Decent profit.

Hilde, one of Griff’s thugs, is pretty much the only other decent vendor until you get to the swamps. I hold off on the Griff fight until late just to have access to her a bit longer.

As for driftwood, you want to hit the smith in the square, the dwarf at the arena, the merchant upstairs in the tavern, the dwarves out behind the lumber mill (drop a pyramid there for easy access) and the elves on the other side. Though be careful with the elves as there is a weird glitch that can prevent you from talking to one or two of them after doing so a few times. You can use a different character to do so, but it will generally spread until you cannot talk to them. Never understood it.

Giving stuff for free to traders will increase their attitude, and make the prices cheaper - so give all your garbage to a trader that you want cheaper prices from. The max attitude you can get from a vendor is 100.
max bartering to get better prices and wear bartering gear.

Maxing attitude with a few traders is good, as in the long term you'll get much better prices.

Gear traders in driftwood

Guy in Square
Dwarf who organises arena fights.
Head paladin at paladin waypoint
Tarquin (if you didn't kill him)
Smug annoying guy on the top floor of the tavern. (I hat that guy, as he exercises too much - some kind of crazy yoga in front of the window)

Some of the traders like Tarquin won't trade unless you click the money icon on the top left of the dialogue box.

People have trouble trading with some traders because they don't click on the money icon.
