-----------------------
Where to find the shops
-----------------------
A small green shop sign marks the locations of the shops and they are available
from the beginning of the game. They are accessed directly from the campus
menu, and all you need to do is move the cursor to the name of the place you
want to visit. Although there are only four shop icons, there are six shops in
total. There are two separate shops situated in the location called "Student
Store", and there is a sixth shop which is not available until the end of
Chapter 3. This has to be discovered inside the Resource Center Dungeon and
the Resource Center is also reached directly from the campus menu. The only
slight snag is that you have to walk through the dungeon every time you want
to use this shop.
-------------
Who runs them
-------------
Although the shopkeepers do not have any significant role to play in the game,
besides selling and buying things, some of them are named. Hagel (a familiar
face from the previous Atelier Iris games) and Leyfa run the two shops at the
Student Store, and Blossom is the street seller in the Campus Grounds. Miss
Melanie is the nurse who runs the Infirmary shop.
------------------
Changing Inventory
------------------
What is significant about the shops is that their inventory changes as the game
progresses, and when a new chapter begins sometimes the shops will acquire new
items for sale, although they don't all get new stock at the same time If the
new item is a recipe book for a synthesis item, it will disappear from the
shop's inventory after you have bought it. In other words you only need to buy
one to obtain the recipe. The general items, once added to the inventory, will
always be for sale in subsequent chapters.
Some recipes will appear if you didn't complete some jobs. Many jobs require
you to defeat an enemy and a recipe is often received when you do. It seems
that if you missed a recipe it will appear in one of the shops in the following
chapter. Also, if you failed to find a particular recipe in a dungeon area
then you may discover it in one of the shops in the following chapter. I have
included an example of both of these, which appeared in my game. Just be aware
that if you miss out on some recipes, you will find them later, in one of the
shops. These are all listed in the additional recipe section.
----------------
Shopping Rumours
----------------
You can change the prices of goods by fulfilling certain conditions and
activating a rumour. If you pay for the rumour before going on a shopping
spree it could save you a fair amount of money. The only problem with this
strategy is that you would have to pay again if you change the rumour to a
different one for other parts of the game. Kuropok, the Rumours student, first
appears in Chapter Two and can always be found at the far left of the
cafeteria.

Blossom, the Street Vendor, is found at the far side of the campus grounds,
next to the girl with a cat. During the festival in week seven of chapter four
the stall is the third one on the left of the area. None of the other festival
stalls sell anything. In chapter twelve this shop moves into the Cafeteria.

This first becomes available at the end of Chapter Three, when you will
enter the Resource Center for an event, and may want to forget about shopping
until the next chapter. However you will have the chance to explore this
dungeon for the first time and reach the shop area.
You can find the shop by entering the dungeon from the reception area, and then
heading north following the game map. You will have to fight monsters along
the way and go through two doors which are in the northern wall of a corridor.
Eventually you will reach a large room with tables and chairs at a lower level
than the entrance. There is a counter and a woman behind it selling a large
range of very useful items.
This is a list of other recipes that might appear in the shops if you have not
found them in dungeons or failed to complete certain jobs or assignments. They
will appear in the shop in the next chapter, or when you need that recipe to
complete a task. These recipes will NOT appear if you complete all jobs and
find all chests.
