Shop
From Dan-Ball Wiki
Players can buy and sell items (weapons, compo items) in the Shop with gold. By clicking the "SHOP" sign in the Town or Village, the shop menu is brought up, allowing the player to purchase and sell items.
The shop in the Town is named "SHOP" and only sells weapons. The shop in the Village is named "COMPO SHOP" and only sells compo items. The player can sell any item they wish in both shops and not only the items which are sold there. The selling price is 12.5% (or one eighth) of the buying price. Below is a chart to illustrate the trend of weapon and item costs, as well as the number of stages that need to be conquered in order to unlock the item for buying.

|---|---|---|
| 1st Weapon (Starting Weapon) | 100 | 12 |
| 2nd Weapon | 250 | 31 |
| 3rd Weapon | 500 | 62 |
| 4th Weapon | 750 | 93 |
| 5th Weapon | 1000 | 125 |

The numbers 1st - 12th for the weapons represent the depth at which the weapon is found - a higher number signifies that the player needs to explore deeper into the game to unlock the weapon. For further details, see Weapon.
Weapons bought at the shop have only one compo slot. This is represented by a grey-coloured X on the second compo slot that displays NG ('no good') on the menu upon rollover.
[edit] Availability
To be able to buy a certain weapon or item you have to conquer a certain number of stages. The number of unlocked items in each compo item category or weapon class is computed by the following formula:
Therefore the order of the items in the shop matters, and items become available as shown in the table below.
| Weapon/Item | Point of availability | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Weapon | White Stone 1 | Red Crystal 1 | Ruby 1 | Vampire's Card 1 | Bronze Medal 1 | Anytime |
| 2nd Weapon | Red Stone 1 | Yellow Crystal 1 | Garnet 1 | Quick's Card 1 | Silver Medal 1 | 2 conquered |
| 3rd Weapon | Green Stone 1 | Silver Crystal 1 | Sapphire 1 | Long Sword's Card 1 | Gold Medal 1 | 4 conquered |
| 4th Weapon | Blue Stone 1 | Purple Crystal 1 | Aquamarine 1 | Catapult's Card 1 | Iron Medal 1 | 6 conquered |
| 5th Weapon | Black Stone 1 | Black Crystal 1 | Topaz 1 | Pierce's Card 1 | 8 conquered | |
| 6th Weapon | Emerald 1 | Guide's Card 1 | 10 conquered | |||
| 7th Weapon | Peridot 1 | Bullet's Card 1 | 12 conquered | |||
| 8th Weapon | Diamond 1 | Explosion's Card 1 | 14 conquered | |||
| 9th Weapon | Critical's Card 1 | 16 conquered | ||||
| 10th Weapon | Berserk Card 1 | 18 conquered | ||||
| 11th Weapon | 20 conquered | |||||
| 12th Weapon | 22 conquered | |||||
However to reach the village at least 12 stages have to get conquered, which corresponds to at least 7 items for each item type. Therefore only Diamond 1, Explosion's Card 1, Critical's Card 1 and Berserk Card 1 might not be unlocked when reaching the village.
The shop in the village doesn't sell all compo items which are available in the game. You cannot buy the following items there:
- ONIGIRI's Card
- Level 2 and 3 Stones (only level 1 is available)
- Level 2 and 3 Crystals (only level 1 is available)
- Level 2 Jewels (only level 1 is available)
- Level 2 Medals (only level 1 is available)
- Level 2 Cards (only level 1 is available)
All other compo items are available.
[edit] History
The Shop was implemented in V1.9 BETA, but displayed the word "close" on mouse rollover, because it had not been implemented. It has since opened in V2.4 BETA, and is now functional.
In V2.4 BETA, the selling price was 25% of the buying price. This was reduced to 12.5% in V2.5 BETA.
In V3.7 BETA, the village was opened with a shop where the player can buy compo items. Before this version of the game there was no place where compo items were sold.
