And the world changes
If Gunther or Elmric has an item that you must have dont do anything to change the world avoid killing bosses getting crystals and quest items or leveling up as doing any of these things changes the items for sale in town Instead travel from town to Ardyl or Terrnya and get your cash there as things in town will remain the same
Cheap Identification
To get items identified for a better price drop the unidentified item in question in town then pick it up and Irma will only charge 50g or so depending on your trade level
Staying Alive
The Vampire 20 Life Pointsquot weapon is a real lifesaver especially if it does XX Damage points Be weary of upgrading it though as its duration expires very quickly
