                            A. General Points

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>


1. Introduction
---------------
Each shop's location and availability is listed.  Most of the shops can only be
accessed at precise times during the game.  Everything for sale is listed,
including use and cost, with additional comments on what to buy.


2. Shopping
-----------
In game help:

"To purchase or sell items, weapons, and armour, enter a shop or talk to the
people in town and locate a street vendor.  Be sure to check back in these
shops after a major event.  Their inventory may have changed!

Note: you can't sell any weapon, armour, or accessory that is equipped on a
party member."

It is slightly more complicated than that because the Judgment Ring is used for
all buying and selling, and discounts of up to 50% to buy, and 25% to sell, are
available.  Further details are in section B.


3. Armour
---------
Armour for females has a pink icon, and that for the males a blue one.


4. Weapons
----------
Each character has their own unique weapon type.

Yuri:      Knuckles
Alice:     Book
Zhuzhen:   Staff
Margarete: Gun
Keith:     Sword
Halley:    Slingshot

Shopping has never been so much fun..?

-----------------------
1. Discount Cards Rules
-----------------------

The cards do not expire: "You can try for discounts and price raises as many
times as you like.  As long as you follow the rules, the cards won't expire."

If you try for a discount and fail and do not have the cash to pay for the
item, there is a penalty point.  Get five penalty points and you lose a card.

The cards are listed in the Valuables section of the menu.

--------------------------------
2. How to get the Discount Cards
--------------------------------

a) Snake Card: Zhaoyang Village
-------------------------------

"Card from the Wholesale Items Guild (WIG).  Gives various benefits.  But if
you lose on discount 5 times in a row with insufficient funds it becomes
inactive."

Received from Wandering Peddler after the events in the village have been
completed.


b) Star Card: Shanghai
----------------------

"Card acquired from a fortune-telling boy in Shanghai.  Very useful in shops."

Received from Sharp Van, Lottery Member 12 who is situated on the docked boat.
You must hit the red segment on the Judgment Ring.


c) Moon Card: Bistritz
----------------------

"Guild card found in Bistritz.  This one has a moon picture on it.  Those guild
folks must be astrology fans."

This can be found in a hidden treasure chest to the right of the room  inside
the Do Re Me shop.  You can get this when you return to the shop after speaking
to the other residents and Nina gives you the East Gate Key.


d) Sun Card: London
-------------------

"Guild card with a picture of the Sun on it.  I wonder why that person had it?
London is a strange city.  All that fog and everything..."

This can be bought from Penniless Mike.  He is standing opposite the Hotel
entrance when you first enter Old Castle Street, in London.


e) Eternity Card
----------------

"Guild card acquired from a suspicious man.  Makes one realize that just about
anyone can be a guild member."

Found when you go back to Calios Mental Hospital.  You have to play the lottery
to get it. After completing the events in the Hospital go back and go to the
main torture room which is at the far end of the long corridor.  Introverted
Chopin, Lottery Member 4 is there.  He is sitting in the central torture chair.
You must hit the red segment on the Judgment Ring.

--------------------------------
3. How to Use the Discount Cards
--------------------------------

Well it is hard work if you want to get the very best discounts.  You have the
option for 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and finally 50% discount on items once you get
all the cards.   Each item has to be bought individually and so that means
using the wheel 5 times if you want to get the 50% discount just for one item.
You can also sell items and raise the price you get for them by 5%, 10%, 15%,
20%, 25%.

However you can buy multiples of the same item if you want to make money by
buying at the highest discount and selling again at the highest sale price.
See Baxll's Money Trick FAQ for details on how you can take advantage of this.

The speed will increase and the sections on the Judgment Ring get smaller the
more discount or price raise you require.  More expensive items also have
smaller and faster rings than the cheaper ones, so if you just want to improve
your grade buy the cheap items.

Once you have the cards you can use them at any shop you choose.

If you look at the second page of the Command Menu you can check your overall
score.  The Current Grade increases with each 10% or 5% increase.

So for example:
If your Discount Rate is 10% your Current Grade will be
                              "Small Joy..."
                        20%   "Just a Little More!"

If your Raise Price Rate is 5% your Current Grade will be
                              "Too Good to be True"

Success in buying and selling will also add to your overall grade, so you can
get a higher grade by shopping instead of fighting.

You do not have to ask for a discount.  If you pay the full price for an item
your Discount Rate will not change.

<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>

1. Wandering Merchant
<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>

Location: Zhaoyang Village

Go up into the village to the second screen to find the save point.  Go past
the well and the Lost Peddler is standing in shadows at the the top right of
the screen opposite the lighted doorway.

"Lost Peddler" runs the shop.  The shop is open before and during the events in
the village.  After you leave here you never return.

IMPORTANT: make sure you revisit the shop after these events to receive the
first shopping discount card.

Location Details
----------------
After the first set of events he moves to the buildings at right hand side of
the well opposite the Save Point.

After the first set of events in the house with Zhuzhen, the Peddler will move
again to the left of the village street just below the house and above the Save
Point.

After the second set of events in the house the Peddler will be nowhere to be
found.

After all the events are completed the Peddler is found at the village shop
area in the screen between the save point and the gates.  You cannot buy
anything from him but you get the Guild Card: the Snake Card.

The Shop Screen will show how much cash you have, what items you already have
equipped and what is on your inventory.

The first screen lists only 5 items but if you scroll down there are two more
screens with more items.

Items which can be equipped will indicate the effect on stats of each character
as all characters are shown across the bottom half of the screen.  Blue
indicates as increase and red a decrease.


What to Buy
-----------
Chances are you will have plenty of Thera Leafs, (maybe a dozen or so by now),
and you should have a Bandana and Leather Belt, the latter found in a chest in
the previous location.  The Shell or Bone Bracelets are the ones to buy now,
although you can find a Shell Bracelet after the events in the village.  You
don't want Yuri to be confused, so I would suggest the Bone Bracelet and then
equip that to Yuri as the enemies here can inflict poison and confusion.

Also make sure you have found the other items if you don't want to buy anything
yet.  Bronze Arrowhead is found to the right of the street opposite the shops,
Tent, Talisman Of Luck and Pure Leaf can be found if you search, and there is
also a Phoenix Tail inside the lighted house.

2. Fengtian Item Shop
<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<><>-<>-<>-<>-<>

Location: Fengtian

This shop is located to the west of the square with the fountain in the centre.
Once you go through to the next screen and go up the narrow lane the shopkeeper
will speak, and then stand outside the shop door.  Once you enter there is a
short scene and after you leave there is another.

You can return to the shop after this scene and the Silent Peddler, who gives
you the Pedometer, and the Lottery Member will now be there.  You can use the
shop and the Save Point again if you wish.

The Silent Peddler also runs a shop and will sell you an extra Pedometer for
2000.

After leaving the sewers at the end you cannot return to Fengtian.

With the Guild Card you can challenge up to 10% discount on anything bought,
and 5% price rise on anything you sell.  There is a Save Point inside the shop.

What to Buy
-----------
Here it is a good idea to upgrade their weapons and armour.  Also buy the
Rosewood Bracelet if you can afford it, as the enemies in the next area use
paralysis attacks.  However you can find one after you get access to the
sealing stone.  You also may want to get some extra Mana Leaves or Tents.  You
can go back to the shop while still in the sewer location.

Silent Peddler
--------------
The man in a dark green outfit to the far right of the fountain square will
give Yuri a Pedometer.  You can buy another from him for the price of 2000 if
you want. He is also found in the shop after the sewers have been accessed in
case you missed him the first time.

What to Buy
-----------
Buy both sets of earrings if you can afford them, or just one, whichever you
prefer.  Also consider upgrading with the Cap and Belt, and make sure you keep
a supply of healing items, Mana Leaf, and Pure Leaf.  You will need Thera
Leaves for the next major battle as Alice will not be in the party, unless of
course Zhuzhen is at level 12 when he gets the healing spell, Nourishing
Potion.

There is a Silver Hourglass in a chest to the right of the room.  A TOL is
at the nets next to the fenced field.  Find the turtle and get a Thera Leaf.
You can return here and dig in the field to find more items.

The Lottery can be played with Filthy Samo, the man at the back of the
restaurant.

Location: Inn, Dalian.

IMPORTANT ITEM: FLARE BROOCH. (Not for sale though.)

Go inside the inn that is near to the Save Point, and after a small scene go
downstairs.

You can access the shop by talking to the Innkeeper's Son, who will appear at
the partition.

                           (+9 P-Def. +11 S-Def. +1% P-Avd. +1% S-Avd.)


What to Buy
-----------
Buy the staff for Zhuzhen as he will soon join your group again.  The others
should already have the upgraded weapons.

Go around the partition to the corner to get a Seal of Aura.  You cannot get in
to get the chest at this time.

In the morning, after all the night's events go downstairs and get the Flare
Brooch from the treasure chest in the armoury.  This is an important piece of
equipment for Yuri as it decreases SP consumed during fusion by 20%.  And yes I
know this is meant to be just about what is sold in shops, but you really would
not want to miss the Flare Brooch.

Once all the events concerning the wheelhouse, attacks on Sea Momma and

Just makes sure they all have the best equipment before the battle with Li Li.
An extra Voodoo Doll will help if you can afford it. (Li Li uses instant death
and paralysis attacks.)

Location: Huayuan, Shanghai

From the inn go right, and keep going right at the cross roads to the next
screen.  This shop is down the next road on the left, where a small child will
tell you it is his house and the best shop in Shanghai.

Shanghai remains available as a location until the events in Kuihai Tower are
completed.

Before shopping here get the lottery ticket.  It is next to a cart at the edge
of the pink carpet where Hasty Kawa is standing just above the steps that lead
down to the bar.

Go to the boat to find the lottery member.  From the shop carry on down the
street to the bottom of the screen and to the docked boat.

Go on the boat and down the hatch at the far end to find Sharp Van, Lottery
Member 12.  Hit the red section to receive the Star Card.  This allows you to
get 20% discount at the shop.

Even though Zhuzhen is alone you can still shop for items for the other party
members and see the change in stats on screen.


What to Buy
-----------
Pilgrim's staff can be found outside the inn.  It is directly opposite in a
hidden chest.  Find this for Zhuzhen and don't bother buying one.

If you want to make money buy extra Brigand Earrings and equip them to all
party members.  This will increase your chances of getting extra cash to 60%.
(All credits for this idea and information to LyssaJ whose two FAQs are very
helpful)

The earrings are only for sale in Asia and once you leave for Europe you cannot
return, so make sure you have bought all the ones you want before going to
Kuihai Tower.

Location: Temple Ruins, Shanghai.

Samsara Pavilion (at start of trials) and Ni Wan Palace, (at the end of the
trials).  The shop is also available at two points during each of the three
trials.

After accepting the trial speak to Master Xiaofang and he will open a shop next
to the Save Point before entering the trials area.  He then appears in two
locations in all three trial areas.  He also appears at the area at the end of
the trials before meeting Master Xifa.

Yellow Location
---------------
Arrive at the yellow teleport destination inside the tunnels with Yuri and
Zhuzhen, and he will be there again to sell the same set of things.

Arrive at the yellow teleport destination inside the tunnels with Alice and
Margarete, and he will be there again to sell the same set of things.  Make
sure they have a supply of Thera Leaves and Seeds as they cannot use healing
skills in battle.

Again on the third part of the trial with Yuri and Zhuzhen, he is at the yellow
teleport.

Red Location
------------
Arrive at the red teleport destination just before the final Save Point at Dan
Tian Court, inside the tunnels with Yuri and Zhuzhen, and he will be there
again to sell the same set of things.  You can go and save first and then
return to the shop so long as you do not complete the event in the room.

He is also at the final red teleport with Alice and Margarete.

Again he is at the final red teleport after the third trial with Yuri and
Zhuzhen.

Location:  Kowloon Fortress, Hong Kong.

This shop can only be accessed if you fulfill certain conditions.

During the scene between Alice and Dehuai you must select the first options
each time, as Alice attempts to delay him.  Then, after completing the events
in Shanghai involving Lt. Kawashima and the smuggler's boat, you find your
party at the entrance to Kuihai Tower.

Return to Shanghai and go back to the boat.  Speak to the man at the wharf and
he will give you an option to use the boat.  Agree, and another location opens
up on the map.  This is Kowloon.

Once at Kowloon go to the far side of the landing area, and speak to the man in
green in the far left top corner.  This is the peddler who usually rewards the
pedometer steps.  This time he also has a shop.

If you want to return here you can, but you must go by boat again from Huayuan.

What to Buy
-----------
Although it is expensive, I would suggest getting at least one Zodiac Bracelet,
and one Cosmic Bracelet here, as they are both useful accessories.  In fact the
Cosmic Bracelet is the second best protective accessory in the whole game and
well worth the money.

If you plan on defeating Wugui then make sure everyone is equipped with a
Leonardo's Bear.

Also notice the other new items: the Talisman Of Wisdom, and Imp's Sigh.  Get
at least one of each of these.

The Mirror Bracelet is a new accessory, but if you have been to Kowloon you
probably already have the Zodiac Bracelet which offers better protection.  You
need protection from petrification for the next battle for at least two of your
party.

Go to the right and to the next screen and the house is at the far bottom
right.  You will be asked a question. Answer "I'm a friend" to be invited
inside.

After going outside again and encountering the red fog and then speaking to the
other residents, you can return to Michelle and Nina's house. After some
conversation with Nina, she will allow you to buy things from the shop.

Again, for the best discount, get the Moon Card before buying anything.  This

What to Buy
-----------
Upgrade all weapons and armour and buy the Will Power accessory which prevents
SP lowering and a Talisman of Purity may be helpful.  There is an additional
Jasper Cape to be found inside the church so don't waste your money.

This is a good place to buy, as the Save Point is in the same room should you
mess up the ring, and you can save after each purchase.  Also with the three
cards, you can try to raise your percentage score.  The best way to do this is
to buy each item separately even if you want more than one of a kind.

Each item will raise the score by a small percentage and it does not matter
whether it is cheap or expensive.  However it does seem that for the dearer
items the ring is faster and the sections smaller, or maybe that is just me.

Because I had already bought quite a number of things at the lower percentage
rate, each item only raised the overall percentage by a small amount: 0.25%.
This is why some people suggest NOT buying too much until you get the three
cards, and therefore a higher percentage increase to your score.

Also note that, although the shop ring success is not added to your overall
ring total, it can help your rank. A successful spending spree can result in a
higher rank without doing any fighting at all!

The inventory is exactly the same as at Rouen, however you do now have the
option to get the 40% discount with the additional Sun Card that you bought
from the man at the entrance to Castle Street.

Unfortunately there is no Save Point nearby and of course you will not have any
money the first time you go inside the bar.  In short, don't buy anything.

You can return to Rouen and use this additional card at the shop there.

What to Buy
-----------
Here you can buy the best weapons and armour in the game, except for the
ultimate stuff, which requires searching and undertaking particular quests to
get.  It is worth getting the best equipment though, as there are a number of
tough battles to fight before you get the option of these side-quests.

If you first go to Calios Mental Hospital to get the final Guild Card you could
buy things here at 50% discount.  However this is problematic as there is no
nearby Save Point if you miss the Ring, and accomplishing the full 50% discount
is no easy feat.

Location: Prague

There are certain conditions that have to be met for this shop to be available.

After defeating Amon in Nemeton and the discussion in Roger's house, obey
Yuri's prompt to return to the London Rats' hideout.  Go upstairs to overhear
the conversation between Halley and Koudelka.

After this, leave, and go back to Prague.  Go down the street to where the
Silent Peddler is talking with Wanderer Meiyuan under the streetlights.  This
time he will have items for sale.

The shop will not be open if you only defeat Amon and do not go back to London.


Item              Cost      Note

Weird Bottle     18000      After Unconscious, 3-hit, 2X-strength (+3 P-Atk.)

Pure Extract     20000      Fully restores SP
Third Key        30000      Max 3 sweeps of indicator with successful action.


What to Buy

So you are nearing the end of the game...might as well spend everything you
have on everything that makes battles easier.  Personally I like the Third Key
and having a plentiful supply of these makes boss fights very straightforward.

By this time I am sure you will know exactly what you want to get.  Have fun!

Yuri
----

Knuckle Blade     1200      Made out of a hard black steel and used for
                           punching. (+11 P-Atk. +11 S-Atk.)

This handheld weapon has sharp blades affixed to it allowing for slashing as
well. It is made of a powerful black steel and is easily carried.

Steel Claw        2900      Lethal weapon designed to pierce armor.
A favored weapon among Eastern assassins.  Its unusually long blade and
frightening appearance make it a weapon to be feared.

Silver Talon      16000     Holy silver claws that are easy to use.
                           (+75 P-Atk. +67 S-Atk.)
Silver claws gripped between the fingers.  Easy to use and accurate due to
their light weight.  An excellent weapon for the powerful fighter-type.  Very
valuable.
