Whenever I'm checking restocks, I always set timers. I have one that beeps every 6 minutes, so I can check in all the shops!

Another tip I have is to have a bookmark folder of the shops. I have one for all the shops, and a blank folder that I copy shop links to when I need them.

So say, today I need some books, clothes and magic items. So I'll throw those 3 shops into the folder and just open them all at once when the timer beeps. <3

You aren't alone. Although typically after a week I'll post in the Market looking for the item, so others can help out.

It's especially bad with Andre's shop, because he just has so many items to cycle through. But this extra "Devoted" shelf has been such a help!

Indeed, restock woes all the time, especially when I was working on the story quests...

But the devoted shelves are extremely helpful, so glad for them!

I need to get Othidar, the Princess, and the-magic-shop-dryad-with-white-bark-and-normal-speech up a little more before their devoted shelves unlock. Really looking forward to that!

I will say, Lenta's devoted shop has been extremely helpful with me finding flowers for crowns with Skyler.

Skyler still won't give me flower crown quests.

Same, though with the power of trading and the marketplace, I managed to get two flower crowns *w*!!

Going back to restock woes; it's worse when the rare item you're looking for is there but you don't have any shards to buy it..

You know what else is fun? Hunting forever to get an item, finally admitting defeat and canceling the quest, and then checking the shop later to see the item you needed. Sometimes I swear there's a shop gremlin that deliberately hides quest items until you give up then releases them and laughs at you.

That's the only reason I haven't canceled this one Lenta quest. Because I know as soon as I do the item will stock. AS SOON. AS I CANCEL IT. THE ITEM WILL STOCK I KNOW IT. IT'S A COMMON ITEM.

What item is it, Boo?
