Person 1 Restocking Tips
It's really easy. Most of the time you should specialize in just one type of
shop, like pharmacy items or chocolates, or magic items, etc. Then just learn
which items are worth lots... like in the bakery, which I usually do, there are
items like the pizza pasty that sells in the shop for 400ish but on the wiz for
1200ish. That's the hard part, learning which items fetch the highest price.
Then you just have to stick with the shop and keep refreshing and try and get
the items as they appear. Usually the more profitable the item, the fewer the
shop stocks. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to help.
* Shops restock about every 8 minutes
* When haggling, it's a good rule of thumb not to offer less than 100np less than what the want for it.
There are some exceptions to this rule
Some items prices change a bit with different restocks, in which case you can
offer less. An example of this would be something like some of the less
expensive pastys in the bakery. Their prices can range from 500-650, but a lot
of times the shopkeeper will accept 425 everytime. The only way to learn this is
by trial and error unfortunately.
* Refresh often, so as not to miss the restocks, but avoid refreshing constantly
as that can get you restock banned for a short period. (No worries if it does
happen, usually only lasts a day) Once every 30 seconds or so is a good rule of
thumb.
*Spend time researching the different items a shop sells before you start buying
because you might end up with something that results in a large loss. An example
of this is the magic wand in the magic shop. The wand sells for like 5k or
something like that but the wiz has it for like 150np. So learn the items in the
shop first to avoid this.
*Time of day isn't really a factor, though sometimes it's easier to restock late
at night(US time) because there's less people around.
