Secret Shops
Contents
Description
Some NPCs have Secret Shops in which they sell special items to their closest friends. They contain skill books and other items that cannot be obtained anywhere else in the game.
All secret shops reset at 12:00AM Pacific Time (3:00 AM Eastern Time).
To access the shop, players must raise the NPC's Intimacy by giving them gifts, performing Part-time Jobs for them, or completing quests, at which point new items can be found in the NPC's normal shop or in a new shop tab.
Over time, intimacy level decreases. Players must maintain intimacy with the NPC in order to continue accessing the Secret Shop.
List of Secret Shops
In the column "Gifts they Like" the nearest NPC selling a desired gift is in bold.
The column "Potions Needed" indicates the maximum number of Likeability Potions or Glittering Gems needed to access the NPC's shop.
NPC Relations
- NPCs have a more complex relationship with players than it may seem at first, keeping track of three invisible values per character.
- "Memory" is how well the NPC knows you. This goes up when you talk with them using keywords, as they become familiar with you.
- This value goes down over time, which can be seen by NPCs eventually forgetting your name.
- This value must be at least a certain amount (~8-9 talks) for an NPC to let you into their shop, but raising this value too much also raises "stress".
- "Stress" goes up if you repeatedly interact with the NPC in the same way in a short time period, such as the same gift or constant talks.
- This value goes down over time or by gifting them something different than normal, such as small amounts of gold.
- This value must be a low amount in order for an NPC to let you into their shop.
- "Favor" is how much they like you. This goes up when you give them gifts or do them favors such as part-time jobs.
- This value must be high in order for an NPC to let you into their shop, and is the main reason NPCs are given gift items repeatedly.
- This value affects which facial expression they use, their happiest face shows up about 4/5ths of the way to unlocking a shop.
- "Memory" is how well the NPC knows you. This goes up when you talk with them using keywords, as they become familiar with you.
- Due to the interactions of these three values, you cannot simply give an NPC a gift item over and over to get into their secret shop.
Standard Method
- Purchase gifts appropriate for the NPC you wish to impress.
- The more an NPC likes a gift, the fewer gifts you need.
- Go to the NPC and offer your gifts. You may wish to offer 2-3 gifts at a time, depending on how hard your target is to "crack".
- After each set of gifts, talk to the NPC with Nearby Rumors and/or Private Story to become familiar with them and check progress.
- When you talk with an NPC, their attitude towards you is indicated in parentheses
- Their keyword responses change as their attitude towards you improves, they will often give you more personal information.
- Their expression changes as their opinion of you improves, with the happiest face being about 4/5ths of the way to unlocking the shop.
- Hidden Shops may open before maximum intimacy is reached, therefore it is advised to check the shop regularly.
- When you talk with an NPC, their attitude towards you is indicated in parentheses
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the NPC's secret shop is available.
- If the NPC becomes irritated, this message will appear: "... is giving me a look that it may be better to stop this conversation".
- This is a sign that you're talking to them too much and they're becoming stressed.
- Correct the situation by giving them 1 gold, 4 times in a row, then talking to them to see if their mood has improved. Repeat gold until they calm down, at which point continue with gifts.
- If the NPC becomes irritated, this message will appear: "... is giving me a look that it may be better to stop this conversation".
Likeability Potions
- Likeability Potions immediately grant a large increase to an NPC's "favor" with you, and are recommended to get into a secret shop.
- Potions increase favor so much that you only need to give a few of them, which keeps the NPC's stress level down, greatly shortening the process.

Aeira and Manus also have a special shop that can only be accessed with a coupon from Fleta and not by gifting them their favorite items.
