strategy guide!

[Razorflame]

the most important ones

the main castle
the shop next to your main castle

then to mage tower(point where u get the rage box)
and possibly the 3 castles there(sometimes i am too lazy to check there)
and at graveyard the furious paladin

rest of the shops aren't that important

but nonetheless there is always a chance there is a good item hidden in there
it never hurts to scout all shops on darion(if your sure you want a good item start)

you save at start of the adventure anyway
and after your done scouting all shops and noted the good items or not

reload from save or start over again and redo ^^
