Azzuro is a sneaky bastard. 

I have a few saves for testing, and seen him arriving more than 10 times already while tinkering with stuff. Yet never saw him in the actual playthrough to which this saves are related to. 

seen him arriving more than 10 times already while tinkering with stuff

 

What in particular?

Testing stuff. How fast weapons are. Stacking. Modals. Checking if the changes for my mini-mod are applied as intended. And so on.

 

I especially like one save made in Lle a Rhemen. There are 3 Spores, and since they can't move you can stop combat / let them regenerate wherever you want.

Sometimes he shows up like every 5 minutes and sells me stuff that I already bought from him (3 times Rimecutter, 3 times Rebel's Call and 2 times Scath Gwannek in one single playthrough) and sometimes I don't see him at all. Only for his first visit in the Stronghold (in order to get my help in the form of lots of money) - and then never again. 

What's worse than Azzuro never visiting? Azzuro visiting repeatedly, but always selling the same item. I had one game where I ended up with four Scâth Gwanneks: I think I'd have been perfectly happy with just one, or even none.

At what prestige level is he even eligible to appear?

Yesterday I met Azzuro for the first time, but I'm not happy about it:

 

• I'm literally 2 quests away from jumping to Sun in Shadow (endgame)
• Azzuro didn't have anything to sell, he had a problem for me to take care with
• He left the stronghold immediately
• "Azzuro, prestigious visitor, leaves in 4 days" but he is nowhere to be found
