Special Vendors : Katalam

Another new feature of the base camps is the special vendors.  In 4.0,  certain junk items have been elevated to a status of re-sellable for more money than you can get at the general store if you happen to be at the camp with the special vendor who'll buy them off you for a higher price.   Each camp's special vendor buys a
specialized list of items that you may or may not have in your inventory.   It helps to know who buys what,
and the objective of this article is to organize the special vendors of Katalam by which base camp buys what items.  I've chosen to start at the camps nearest to the Elyos fort and work outward.   Here we go:

Spiralroot Shelter

Location:  Garren Forest
Vendor's Name (Elyos) - Lopan
Items Bought:   Worn Beast Claw,  Fractured Talon,  Flawless Beast Claw and Intact Talon
Additional Info: 

 I've included some pics below.  I had a flawless beast claw in my inv,  so I 
 compared the price paid by the general goods merchant and the special vendor.
 The gs merchant pays $1,340 and the sv pays $4,020.  Thats almost 4x as much,
 so for those of you who like to pinch pennies and get the highest price for your
 special junk items,  it pays to go to the sv if you're nearby and your faction owns 
 the camp.
