There are many mysteries to unlock Metaphor: ReFantazio, from defeating powerful bosses to accessing secret merchants and unlocking the Wart Shopkeep is no exception. When you arrive at Port Brilehaven, you will notice that the shopkeeper will only sell medicinal herbs. Annoyingly, there are no tips at that time on how to unlock your entire stash, but there is a key NPC you need to visit first to do so.
Like when trying to choose the best rank for Gambling Man, correctly unlocking Wary Shopkeep as a merchant can be a frustrating puzzle for those who don’t know. However, it quickly becomes an easy endeavor once you know what to do. Doing so will be worth the effort as you will be able to obtain a variety of useful items and ingredients.
How to Unblock Cautious Shopkeeper
Go to the golden fireplace
To unlock the full Wary Shopkeep inventory at Metaphor: ReFantazioYou need talk to NPC Talkative Mustari node Golden Deer Hearth on Virga Island. From this Mustari, Spherano the Informant, you must buy the information called Secret of Eugief’s Tent for 1000 Reeves. The Mustari will reveal that he lived off the island, so he knows how to get the shopkeeper to sell him more than the standard Medicinal Herbs.
He says as long as you go back and consult a mutual acquaintance, Alonzo, you will get him to sell more of your products. Return to Wary Shopkeep with your new information and Gallica will do this on your behalf. The Cautious Shopkeeper will be happy to open more stock for you. It’s even easier than finding Fragrant Spice, a special culinary ingredient in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Everything the unwary shopkeeper sells
Masks and culinary ingredients
Once you unlock him as a full-fledged merchant, Wary Shopkeep will sell his specialty, which you can get from monsters called white masks. Another unique quality of this merchant is that on Idlesday he will sell an unusual monster cooking ingredient. If you want to properly expand your cooking skills when using the Metaphor: ReFantazio cooking guide, this is the main one.
For 25,000 Reeves each from your standard inventory, you can purchase the following:
-
White Mask of the Devil
-
White Mask Tower
-
White Star Mask
-
White Moon Mask
-
White Sun Mask
-
White Mask of Judgment
The only catch is that you’re limited to purchasing one of each item per day, but you can always come back the next day to stock up. Just remember to talk to Talktative Mustari in Golden Deer Hearth, and the Wary Shopkeep inventory in Metaphor: ReFantazio it could be yours.
