The Quest – Shops
Each city has various shops where you can talk, buy, sell, repair and enchant items. Some shopkeepers may also give you special quests. Click on the appropriate buttons on the right side of the screen which appears after you’ve entered a shop. You can do that by clicking on the shop door or just moving forward through it.
The training screen will show you what training is available, your present skill level and how much gold you must spend to advance your level. Click on the “√” button to buy an increase in level. Click on the “X” button to return to the topics screen. If you click on the “Buy/Sell” button, you bring up a screen that shows you what items are available in the shop to buy and their cost. If you wish to purchase an item, choose it by clicking on it, then click on the “B” button at the bottom of the screen to buy it. Click on the “X” button when you have finished shopping. To sell any of your items, click the “Sell” topic at the top of the screen, this will bring up the items you have in your inventory of the type bought and sold in that particular shop and the amount of gold you’ll get by selling your item. To sell an item, click on it to choose it and then click on the “S” button.
(Tip: sell everything you don’t need to get more money.)
At the bottom of the screen you will see how much gold you have and the weight of your pack.
Beware: Choose carefully when buying and selling, you may buy an item in haste only to realize it’s not useful to you, then if you wish to sell it, you’ll find you paid much more for the item than its sale price.
The price you pay and receive for items will depend upon your Appraise skill level. Also, the larger cities, Vastares and Mithria, have finer items available. You might get more gold by selling an item in those cities’ shops than if you tried to sell the item in a small village.
Inns: If you rest at an inn, your Health and Mana will be restored above the maximum and you will be cured of possible poisoning.
Libraries: Found only in the two large cities. Here you can buy or sell both general and skill books and gain training.
Blacksmith: You can buy weapons and heavy armor and repair your items and can also train.
Tailor: You can buy light armor, clothing and train.
Jeweler: You may buy adornments.
Alchemist: You may buy potions and alchemical ingredients and train in alchemy.
Curative Herbs: You may buy alchemical ingredients and train in alchemy.
Magic Shop: You may buy scrolls and spellbooks, train or enchant your equipment.
You will find more variety of shops in the large cities than in the villages.
Also, you can find many of these options at some NPCs (non-player characters) who are walking around the world or just standing at an exact place.
