Talk:Agnes

Agnes' secret shop is so hard to get. D:

Actually, I think it's broken. If you only talk to her during her part-time job and ignore some of her hostility, you can get the shop open in about a day real-time, if you're persistent, but you have to ignore her when she says you should stop visiting so often. Only the line about her emotional state (welcoming look, great interest, friendly vibe) matters.

Do the part-time job every Erin day, and talk to her and give her the Anthology before you report in. When she gives you the "better stop this conversation" look, give her the 5 gold. At that point, she'll still say the bit about only people who have serious injuries talking to the healer, but her attitude will go back up, and if you sign up for the job, and talk and give her the Anthology during it, her affection will continue increase, even though she'll tell you not to spend so much time there. She continues to say that until the shop opens, no matter what her affection level is.

That's why I think this shop is broken. Most people will back off until she says she's happy to see them again, which is what you're supposed to do, and by that time, she'll have lost some of her affection--and will stall out at the same place as soon as you reach it again. You won't know to push forward unless someone tells you or you're so irritated that you no longer care (like me!)

I might try this again on my elf, just to make sure I got it right, but I think this one might really be easy. Repetitive and annoying, yes, but easy and even cheap, since she pays you the cost of the Anthology to do the job. The only money you have to spend to get the shop open is the occasional 5 gold bribe.

1. Have an alternative character camp at Kristell. Get him/her to buy the Anthologies from Kristell and send them through a pet.
2. Have the character who's trying to get into the secret shop summon the pet and give her the anthologies that are on the pet.
3. Repeat this process until Agnes' mood says something like "I should stop talking".
4. When this message comes up, Grab a stack of gold (Preferably over 100g).
5. Click on Agnes about 5~20 times, it's up to you.
6. You should get messages saying "Are you sure you want to give her 1g? OK CANCEL". Click OK.
7. Go through the dialogue, and keep clicking OK until there are no more messages.
8. When you think the shop is opened, talk to her and select SHOP.
9. If the shop still isn't opened, repeat steps 1~7.

The part time job is totally unnecessary, just keep lobbing Anthologies at her and asking her about her life and nearby rumors, it'll open eventually.--Jacobpaige 17:58, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

My giant just got done bribing her. It took exactly 23 anthologies, 23 rounds of private story/rumors and bribing with four gold pieces every time she got annoyed with me in order for me to get a friendly vibe. It took me 30 anthologies/talking/bribing to get her to open up her secret shop. This is an unusually even number. Also, the shop opened up at 8:30PM for me, making the time constraints for her secret shop completely untrue.--Boko346 08:32, 02 October 2009 (UTC)

Finally tried my approach again on my elf, and it works. There's even a short cut through the alleys in Emain that will get you from Agnes to Galvin easily, for quick Anthology purchases. I did not count the Anthologies, but it was definitely more than 10 - 15. It can be done with bribes and Anthologies only, it just costs more that way.

Again, the key was to watch the line about her mood, not what she says, especially as you get closer. I got the same thing this time, "It's not good to come here..." while getting "a really friendly vibe". I don't think there's a time restriction on when the shop opens. Given that I only talked to her while in the middle of the part-time job or just after reporting in, I would say that it opened both times between 7:30 am and 9:30 am.

A pain in the neck, but worth it if you have friends who don't have service.

It took exactly 26 anthologies and 26 gold to get her to open her secret shop when I tried. She gave me the "welcome look" at 11 and "friendly vibe" at 21. She gave me the "should stop this conversation" 8 times and I gave her 4 gold and talked to her with "private story" and "nearby rumors" each time. The process took approximately 6000 gold. The shop opened up at approximately 11:30 PM, so the time constraints are incorrect on my side as well.--Azurebalmung 03:19, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Secret Shop!

I was able to get the Secret Shop in about 1 RL hour. wich opened at 2:40A.M. in game time. i have no clue if game time effects what time the Secret Shop will open. this is what i did.

1. Give her an Anthology Book gift and one gold coin talking to her about "Personal Story" and "Nearby Rumors" after each gift.

2. If the line "(Agnes is giving me a look that it may be better to stop this conversation)" appears end the conversation without talking to her about "Personal Story" or "Nearby Rumors"." If you did not get the line moved back to step 1.

3. Gave her 1 gold coin four times in a row. She should be willing to talk to you. if not repete step 3. If she is willing to talk. Thin talk to her about "Personal Story" and "Nearby Rumors". Thin go back to step 1.

I did this tell i got "Agnes is really giving me a friendly vibe.". Thin i looked for the Secret Shop item after steps 1. and 3. Wich was about 4-6 tries.

I gave her about 27 Anthology Books and about 50 gold! --by:Lacryma ;-P~ 20:27, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I also got her shop open at exactly 2:40AM in-game time. No need for a part-time job, just alot of Anthologies. Also, no reason to have an alternate character in Port Quilla. The General Shop by the Church sells Anthologies. -- Jspillers | (Talk) 01:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I got her secret shop after about 12 anthologys by giving her 10 anthologys, talking to her, and giving her 2 more. Before that I tried over 30 with the talking to her. I'm convinced that talking to her LOWERS her affection level. Tellos 01:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I spent about 20 k before I realized I long hit up the secret shop. Any of the above will probably work, but she opened up the secret shop without any prompts for me. I had to go in the shop myself, and she said that she doesn't just show anyone else her special FA book. Her private story was the usual "I'm so pretty", and the nearby rumours was about the twins. There was a point where she was afraid of bears come up for nearby rumours, and I'm wondering if that was the prompt... but then it went back to the twins after that.

In any case, make sure you check the store after about a dozen (whatever your routine is). Glatisant 2316, 08 August 2015 (PST)
