Gordon's Secret Shop

Okay so I gave Gordon 68 gift rings and still haven't unlocked his secret shop. I honestly do not believe that this method is how you're supposed to unlock shops.

Btw that's 34k I wasted, I should have just bought likeability potions.

Kind of frustrated about this.

So I haven't talked with Gordon or anything since the 9th, so today I'm going to try unlocking by using keywords and gold. Will report how long that took me.

~30 Gift Rings with no gold and alternating keywords. He hit the 'it would be better to stop this conversation' once but I didn't give him any gold and he got over it. More evidence that not using keywords doesn't work.
