Tinker is actually better than Merchant. Merchants can generate passively anything other metal. WIth itens, you can generate all resources or generate only few, but a alot of them, then simply transmute them. Also, you will always have enough crowns, because you can create items you can sell to merchants. You can also create items for your teammates of course, and you will always have a healing potion in your pocket. Instant conversion is a good deal, so main attributes are charisma for price reductiona nd intelligence for spellcasting. Undead Tinkers are also very good, with infinite source of metal at its hand,  just summon skeletons and turn them into Slayer/Doom knights.

A good tinker never has resource problems.
