                           * Secret of Evermore *
                           *   Shopping Guide   *
                           ********************** 
   
I recently played through Secret of Evermore and found myself 
constantly needing to know 3 things which were not readily available in 
the guides I could find. So I thought I'd put these things together for 
quick reference. They are:

  I. Exactly What to Buy in Nobila
 II. Bargain Hunting (where to find the cheapest ingrediants)
III. Ingrediant Requirements (necessary ingrediants for each spell)



======================================================================
I.                    *Exactly What to Buy in Nobila*
======================================================================

Here's what I'll do: I'll tell you exactly what you need to buy so you 
can get everything you should in Nobila and later, Gothica. 

NOTE: I highly suggest that you get your spice and rice free from the 
invisible whirlpool outside Nobila. It's just to the left of the Nobila 
entrance. It should be right below the large rock. You know you're in 
it when you start spinning around. Keep spinning until you go 
underground and get 99 spice and 99 rice. You'll need to eventually do 
it twice because you're gonna need a lot of spice.


From the Whirlpool get these:

150 spice
 99 rice (you'll actually only need about half this amount)


----------------------------
|Buy These Things in Nobila|
----------------------------


Buy these things:

19  Beads
 8  Perfume 
 1  Spoon 
 3  Gold Jackal 
 4  Tapestry 
 2  Limestone Tablet 
 4  Jeweled Scarab 
 5  Chickens 

So that you can get:

1 Jade Disk 
1 Sun Stone 
1 Moxa Stick 
1 Silver Sheath 
1 Ruby Heart 
1 Bronze Gauntlet 
1 Obsidian Helm 
1 Stone Vest 
1 Centurian Helm 
Tiny to throw the stone (need a Mud Pepper)

-------------------------------
|Items You'll Need for Gothica|
-------------------------------

Sometime before leaving Antiqua you should also buy these:

1  Jeweled Scarab
1  Golden Jackal
20 Perfumes
18 Beads

So that you can later get:

1 Oracle Bone
1 Thug's Cloak
1 Insect Incense
1 Chocobo Egg



======================================================================
II.                       *Bargain Hunting*
======================================================================
This section is for finding out where the best price for each 
ingredient is. You can compare, for example, how much an ingredient 
costs in Prehistorica to how much it -should- cost in, say, Gothica. 

Terminology:
* marks the lowest price in the game for that item.
++ indicates that the price is the best, but is only temporary


Keep in mind that:

1 Talon=1/2 Jewel             1 Jewel =2   Talons
       =1/4 Gold                      =1/2 Gold
       =2   Credits                   =4   Credits

1 Gold =4 Talons              1 Credit=1/2 Talon
       =2 Jewels                      =1/4 Jewel
       =8 Credits                     =1/8 Gold

NOTE: After I made this part of the guide I found something very  
      similar to it by Carson Lee at RPGamer. I know that sounds 
      really lame to say "How could I rip him off if I didn't know 
      about it?" But I figure that since 

      a) it's not exactly an original idea to want to compare all 
         ingrediant prices in Evemore and

      b) GameFAQs doesn't have something like this and

      c) RPGamer is not exactly the place people go for gameplay help 
         anymore so Carson Lee's FAQ is probably not going to see a 
         whole lot of action (that's not to say that this one will 
         either since so many people hate this game)
      
      d) I honestly did make this on my own

      I'm, therefore, justified in including this portion of the guide

I don't know how useful you'll find this but this is just something you 
should be able to look when you're buying ingrediants and wondering 
"Hmmm, now do I really need any of X ingrediants?"
