Upgrading ypur Blacksmith

How can you upgrade his stock?

I only know that if you recruit Khemia, you can buy guns.. but how can I buy accessories? or better weapons? <_<

Accessories are sold by Gorno actually. Gadburg stocks only weapons and armours.

Save for Eunice's item shops, the other shopkeepers (Gadburg, Gorno, Wustum, Balsam, Rekareka) improve their stock based on a number of things: plot progression, making profits from trading specific items, recruiting specific characters (like Khemia), or completing quests.

Alternatively, you can shop at other cities in the mean time.

Oh ok, I thought I could buy accessories from gadburg, too...

So if I sell a lot of trading items, my stock might increase?

Yes, trading improves their inventories, as long as you are making profits.

Thanks, that helps!


What items do I need to trade to increase Balsam's stock? I just can purchase fire bombs...

Well, I have all 108 characters and I'm quite to the end, but still, nothing... I guess if I sell a lot of water crystals I can buy water bombs, or something like that, but still...

You need to complete Yod's WiFi quest to add three more bomb types to Balsam's inventory.

It's an easy quest though, as long as you have easy access to WiFi.

Pick up Yod? and take him to Balsam in your HQ, and let the dialogue do the rest. It's one of the least troublesome WiFi Quests, second only to Sisuca's.

Netherlion Horn is through plot progression, like a few others. New trading items are added in this way up to the second last new dungeon, IIRC.

the nether lion horn is the easiest one cause you only need to sell it once? i dunno cause i only sold 2 and the beast king sword showed up already. :D if you alrady got balsam, just go to greyridge mine, the ground, the efreet drops it, it's a 100% drop rate if your lucky you can get an efreet sword too.

Most likely because you get maximum profit by getting it for free from enemies and selling them for maximum selling price. If you do it between trading posts, it will take longer to accumulate the same amount of profit.
