Unable to locate sword from sidequest *possible spoilers* [PS4]

Not sure if this topic goes in this section but here goes…

So I completed the sidequest for Swordsmith Fink but was unable to buy the completed sword due to low funds. Finally got enough but the sword is no longer in his inventory to purchase. I even went as far as to unlock every single chest on his property even the “very hard” ones near the chickens.

Is it a bug that the sword completely disappears if not purchased as soon as it’s available? If anyone has any other tips or thoughts please share. I am playing the Royal Edition fully patched btw.

Thanks!

merchants are set back to default, if u dont trade with em for a while. bad luck

That’s good to know. Thanks for replying!
