Here's a question for you all....do any of you break up what items are sold in a shop, such that crafting items, healing items, and armaments are sold in different locations?
I tend to follow , as a rule, that the larger and more prosperous a town is, the more specific a shop's inventory becomes. In my capitol city, I have multiple shops along the "main street" that sell various things, but each one has a specific theme. One is standard recovery item shop, whereas its competitor sells alternative medicine, which can be more expensive, but sometimes have added effects. I also break up armor and weapons in the rich cities, and the capitol has two weapon shops that sell slightly different gear.
