Hello! A discussion with Discord happened about the imbalance of items and finding specific ones, especially newer items. I thought about that if we had NPC shops that sold items that can be found in hoards (for a price) with a restock function, not only would it help users who want to find specific items with of course the caveat of waiting for the restock to happen, but it would help with a a continuous flow of sinking PC rather than one giant dump of pc.

I wanted to suggest having a restock option to make it so all the items aren't always available. It would lessen the need for hoards. However, at least with the restock, it is another way to find that one item you want.

If there are any suggestions at all to make this better, why it wouldn't work for Pixpet, if the suggestion was already made somewhere (I tried looking through everything...) or if there is anything else!

Edit: I also thought about this but I myself would be hesitant to do...but an NPC shop that would sell variable grades of items that can be cooked or even an ingredients shop. Maybe even a pumpkin shop. I would only suggest this as an additional means to continuously sink PC but I myself think that this could really sink gardening and cooking to nearly being obsolete.

I've actually discussed the concept of stocking shops in the discord a few times, I very much would like a feature like this, whether in the adventure mode or just regular pixpet gameplay. We need PC sinks and NPC shops could be the way to do that.

Some users will disagree with the idea of stocking items normally found on hoards and the potential for devaluing items that are valuable currently, but the simple fix would be to have the NPC shop stock items that are *not* found on hoards, perhaps having a high PC cost for its exclusive items, therefore making something else for players to strive to save PC for, versus having it for bid-wars on new items sold on the Item Market auctions.

I think with how many items there are in specifically capsules, I feel like it would be safe depending on how many items restock at a time. I think also having a shop for things that cannot be found in hoards would be great except for things that you can grow or cook since those are much more limited and might render both of those obsolete. That would require much more balancing in my opinion.

I would die for a pumpkin shop, they are needed for food & potions and for the later you need a specific color & as a flower even, making it that one item that is acually used for EVERYTHING you can do here.

Just now this halloween event i was in dire need for white flowers & pumpkins to make potions to get the albino colocrow egg (which i still dont have after 8 double potion influenced hoards, but i got any other egg in existence kivguheilvheaiguva) and now are on dry ground.

hell, i would pay thrice the price now if i had any pc.


So a big support from me
