Updated game to 1.108 to help reduce required items during fusion.. :D Use ctrl+f to look for what you need. :) o------------------------------o Contents o------------------------------o 001.

Introduction o------------------------------o Recettear is a fairly relaxing and easy to learn game. You run an item shop, hunt for the stuff you sell, buy low and sell high, unlock new dungeons and adventurers and all that stuff. o------------------------------o 002. Characters o------------------------------o Recette: Main character of the story. Left with a huge debt by her father without her even knowing it. Lives on top of a hill when Tear comes and tells her that she may lose her house if the debt isn't paid. Tear: Fairy working for Terme Finance to collect Recette's father's loan. She will be yout tutor throughout the game. Always shows her strong side and acts as a sister to Recette. Alouette: Daughter of the owner of Big Bash, a big Walmart like chain, and claims Recette as her rival. She is assisted by her own fairy, Prime. Prime: Alouette's assistant fairy who keeps Alouette in check. Merchant's guild master: He will be responsible for selling weapons and armors to you. Fusion and expansion are also availed through him. Euria: She who we call the 'combo breaker'. Will occasionally come and sell overpriced items just to break your justcombos. o------------------------------o 003. Adventurers o------------------------------o Adventurers can be unlocked sometime in the game. Their initial equipments will be weak and unreliable and the only way to replace them is by selling them the equipment. Another way is to "lend" them their equipment but this will take space in your inventory so this is not quite recommended. At the end of the game, you may acquire an adventurer's "True Card" as a sign of friendship. The effect of True Cards is that you can use the said adventurer early on on the next loop of the game. I recommend getting other True Cards besides Louie since he'll be given at the very start of the game. True Card selection is based on the number of adventures you had with an adventurer. The more adventures, the higher chance of getting their True Cards. On an event that 2 adventurers get the same number of adventures, priority will take place. Louie, Charme, Caillou, Tielle, Nagi/Elan/Griff is the priority order. o------------------------------o Louie: Brave but poor adventurer. Uses swords. Throughout the story, you will know exactly just how poor he is. -_-; How to unlock: He's given to you as your first adventurer. Skills: Spin Slash - Louie will spin causing damage to enemy units round him. Vacuum Blade - Ranged attack. 1 direction only. o------------------------------o Charme: Theif. She's fast and deadly. She can run by double tapping a direction and can even run on curves. How to unlock: Finish Jade Way and after 2 cutscenes on your store (while open), she'll give you her guild card. Skills: Mirror Image - Creates images that cannot be damaged but can damage opponents. Flame Charge - Charges the enemy with flames. Useful when escaping. Shadow Weave - Places a web on the ground rendering enemies trapped for the kill. o------------------------------o Caillou: Mage with an attitude problem. He's quite fun to use especially when leveled up. How to unlock: After getting the merchant skill of advance ordering, he'll visit your store and order a slime liver (Slime King), charred lizard (Gnolls) and bat wings (Eyeballs). After fulfilling the orders, sell some items to him and he'll give you his card to unlock him. Skills: Pyrobomb - Burst of fire in Caillou's surroundings. Ice Mine - Fires a block of ice that explodes in a short distance. Sparkburst - What I call 'Machinegun'. Fires a volley of arcane missles in front of Caillou Gemini Force - Summons spheres that act as shields but can also be launched Warp - Teleports Caillou in random places within the floor. Note: Caillou's attacks absorb SP from opponents, so whe you run out, whack the heck out of them. Caillou's attack can also be ranged. Hold your attack button then you'll see that he'll somewhat charge and release an orange ball. o------------------------------o Tielle: Elven archer who likes sweets. She's pretty fun to use when there are crowds of monsters in the floor. How to unlock: Do her event in the town square where she begs her sister to walk slower. Then defeat her at Amber Garden (she's the final boss there). Skills: Flame Arrow - Fires a flaming arrow in front of Tielle. Seeker Arrow - Homing arrows. Starshot Arrow - Tielle fires arrows into the sky and rains down like satellite lasers. Cuterage! - Gives Tielle rage to charge her arrows faster. Note: Tielle's arrows can be charged. There are 5 levels of varying strenght and a 6th level when in Cuterage! mode. o------------------------------o Nagi: Eastern lancer with a very very narrow range. She can only attack enemies directly in front of her. How to unlock: Meet her 4 times in random dungeons then when she finally finds her way back, sell her items and she'll give you her card Skills: Flame Charge - Nagi bathes her lance in flame and charges forth! Hundred Thrusts - Nagi thrusts with her spear faster than the eye can see! Ideal for boss battles. Spin Slash - Same as Louie's. Spinning attack. Vacuum Spear - Same as Louie's. Range attack, 1 direction o------------------------------o Elan: Monk in training. Apparently has a long tab at the pub.. Drunk monk. xD How to unlock: You have to have Charme then do the night event on which the pub owner's going to have a verbal fight with Elan. Go to the Merchant's Guild the next day and do the event wherein the GM will ask you to deliver a box to the orphanage. You'll meet Elan. Afterwards, sell items to him to get his card. Skills: Flame Charge - Something like what those gnolls do. Punch with fire. Not good damage and slow initiation which is only good for escaping. Fist Flurry - One of the best skills of Elan (for me). He will do some wicked fist combo and finishes it with a rocky explosion. Hits more than one target as long as it's in front of Elan. Berserk - He'll have improved damage but won't be able to use items or skills. Note: Elan's SP isn't that great and all so try not to consume it all at once. :D o------------------------------o Griff: Demon who trash talks Tear and Recette when they first met. How to unlock: Defeat him at Obsidian Tower, he'll visit your store and give you his card. Skills: Dark Claw - Griff will attack in a straight line (One like in boss battle) in an attempt to slice enemies in half. Demon Soul - Same as Elan's Berserk. You won't get knocked back when hit and have a stronger damage. Vampiric Vortex - Griff fires off a black vortex that sucks enemies and damages them while healing you. Note #1: Griff is a total badass. His range is massive and he has this dash that makes him invisible (pass through enemies). Note #2: You DO NOT have to be on endless mode to unlock Griff. I got him on my 5th loop (I'm on the 6th.) o------------------------------o Arma: Mech chick that you get as a final prize for finishing Recettear! How to unlock: Get all characters then finish Lapis Ruins which is a no joke feat. 100 floors with an imbalanced final boss. Skills: Vector Cannon - Fires a huge cannon which takes a while to charge. Drains ALL sp upon use. 1 direction with a huge damage. Will not work if sp is not full (w/c won't happen lol, you only got one skill >_>) Note #1: Her arms consume ammo and gets depleted. This is really annoying as her arms need to charge and charging needs time. Note #2: I have not tried a non-endless Arma so the only way I know is to play endless mode. :p o------------------------------o 004. Recetter Shop o------------------------------o This is where all the magic happens. You buy and sell items here which is the purpose of the game. Lemme get you the basics of the store. Store atmosphere - There are 4 types of store atmospheres, light, dark, plain and gaudy. This affects adventurers visiting your store. Effect: Light - Elan Dark - Griff, Caillou Plain - Louie, Elan Gaudy - Charme Merchant level - additional benefits as you level this up. This can be done by buying and selling things. Level 01 - Starting level Level 02 - Customers will sell items to you Level 03 - Customers will ask you for items they want Level 04 - Unlocking more items at the guild and market Level 05 - Fuse rank 1 items at the guild Level 06 - Change wallpaper of your store, can be bought at the market Level 07 - Customers can pre-order items to be completed in 2-3 days** Level 08 - Change flooring of your store, can be bought at the market Level 09 - Change carpet of your store, can be bought at the market Level 10 - Rearrange display counters Level 11 - More items unlocked at the guild and market Level 12 - You will be able to expand the store [10,000 pix] Level 13 - Fuse rank 2 items at the guild Level 14 - Change display counters, can be bought at the market Level 15 - Enables the use of vending machines Level 16 - If defeated in a dungeon, you will be able to bring back 2 items instead of 1 Level 17 - Your storage capacity in dungeons increased to 25 items Level 18 - More items unlocked at the guild and market Level 19 - Fuse rank 3 items at the guild Level 20 - Expand the store the second time [30,000 pix] Level 21 - You'll only need to pay the adventurers 1/2 the fee when adventuring Level 22 - Unlimited vending machines at your store Level 23 - More items unlocked at the guild and market Level 24 - Your storage capacity in dungeons increased to 30 items Level 25 - Fuse rank 4 items at the guild Level 26 - Expand your store for the third time [100,000 pix] Level 30 - Fuse rank 5 items at the guild Level 40 - Your storage capacity in dungeons increased to 35 items Level 50 - If defeated in a dungeon, you will be able to bring back 3 items instead of 2 **Pre-ordered items will be collected by customers ASAP that day. So when you open at evening, expect all those customers to claim them at evening. When you open in the morning, expect all those customers to claim them during morning. o------------------------------o Selling o------------------------------o Max you can raise is 130% when prices are normal and up to 300%++ when prices are red (high) Here are the highest max % I got so far (still trying stuff. :D) low price - 70% (BLUE) normal price - 130% (WHITE) high price - 310% (RED) Also, when you are able to sell items on the first try (customers don't haggle), there will be bonuses to exp. Here's a short list of them: JustCombo - increases as you sell items on the first price you set continuously. gets cut if the customer haggles. NearPin - your price is near of what the customer thought it would cost JustPin - your price is exactly what the customer thought it would cost There are certain (or often as the game progresses) times that customers will try just to lower the prices. If the price you gave is 127% below, try to give the same price again, some will buy the item with no further arguments. When selling to adventurers, don't raise the price too much especially when they are trying to buy an equipment that they can wear. You'll know this because there will be a small box on the upper right corner signifying the change in their stats. Sell low or even go below 100% so that your adventurer will be more fit for battle. ***WARNING*** Selling too much of 1 kind of item will result to its price CRASHING! Price crash will result to that item to have a blue (low) price. Remove these items and replace them with other items. Wait for a few days for the price to recover. o------------------------------o Buying o------------------------------o Here are the max lowest % I got so far. (feel free to experiment with these.) low - (still looking :D) normal - 40% high - 90% Buying also affects JustCombo so if you buy at the first set price, your combo won't brake. :) Remember: Capitalism, Ho! o------------------------------o Character Specific % o------------------------------o Finalage mailed me some info for this section as I don't think I have the patience to watch them all 1 by 1. xD "The Old Guy" - only buys at 116% at first, or lower. When he knows you better, it's 118% "The Guild Master/That Guy" - Both of them, that guy who dresses similarly to the old guy and the guild master, buy at around 125~126% to start with, though 125 is safest until you get to know them. After that, I'm none too sure. "The Woman and "Her Daughter" - I call the girl her daughter for sanities sake. They both buy around 112% to begin with, although while the woman can be pushed later on to 116 percent, the girl is stubborn at 114%. Ehh. What can you do? - As for me, the woman can go past 112% to 127% or more. I'll go try to go higher ;) -advent Louie - About 118% Is always safe, save for when you first meet him, 116% is better then. Liken him to the old guy. Charme - Selling items to her at around 105% to 110% gives a near pin occasionally, maybe her just is hidden around this level? Calliou - Can never get his name right...12_% is always safe it seems. Alouette - Feh, 130%? It's safer to say over 135%, she always buys without complaint on 138% for me. o------------------------------o Preferences/Item Class o------------------------------o This part shows what customers want/need when they say paricular clues. I'll try to complete this ASAP as this is often one of the headaches of playing Recettear shop mode. xD a home decor - Treasure treasure - Treasure something warm - Scarf some food - Food (any) foodstuff - Food (any) sweets - Apple Orange Cherry Grapes Watermelon Melon Durian Candy Chocolate Bar Taiyaki Candy Apple Baked Yam Honey Peach Tin Shortcake Mont Blanc Apple Pie books - Books weapons - Swords Staves Bows Spears Gloves(?)

Dungeons o------------------------------o There are several dungeons for you to complete in the game. Hall of Trials - First dungeon Floors: 5 Boss/es: None Note: You may want to save before venturing here for the first time. Dying is not really an option in the first critical week. Save, go to dungeon, try to familiarize with the controls. If you die, just load your save file and try again. ----- Jade Way - Clear Hall of Trials Floors: 15 Boss/es: 01-05 - Crowned Slime 06-10 - Reginald Drisby (Giant Rat) 11-15 - Charme ----- Amber Garden - Clear Jade Way and unlock Charme.

Floors: 25 Boss/es: 01-05 - Eyebat King 06-10 - The Insect King 11-15 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 16-20 - Volcanicrab 20-25 - Tielle ----- Obsidian Tower - Clear Amber Garden and defeat Tielle.

Floors: 50 Boss/es: 01-05 - Samhain 06-10 - 2 Eyebat Kings 11-15 - Electrojelly 16-20 - Terran Golem 21-25 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 26-30 - Griff 31-35 - The Gauntlet 36-40 - 2 Insect Kings 41-45 - The Gauntlet (Knight Boss) 46-50 - Griff and Archdevil's Arm ----- Lapis Ruins - Pay off the debt and unlock every adventurer besides Arma. Arma will come into your store and unlock this dungeon for you. Floors: 100 Monsters: Boss/es: 01-05 - 2 Samhain 06-10 - Reginald Drisby (HUGE FAN) 11-15 - 3 Eyebat Kings 16-20 - 3 Insect Kings 21-25 - 3 Crownwed Slimes 26-30 - The Gauntlet (Bombs) 31-35 - 3 Samhain 36-40 - Electrojelly 41-45 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 46-50 - Arma 51-55 - 2 Gauntlet Knight 56-60 - Reginald Drisby (Fish) 61-65 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 66-70 - Terran Golem 71-75 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 76-80 - Masked Warrior who her daughter is ashamed of 81-85 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 86-90 - Volcanicrab 91-95 - The Gauntlet (Kill all enemies) 96-100 - MegaArma Note: DO NOT attempt to do this dungeon in 1 go. And DO NOT try to go if your adventurer's level is low. Luck won't save you. >_> ----- Crystal Nightmare - Clear Lapis Ruins. Floors: 30 New rules on this one. Doors will appear every TEN (10) levels. And NO BOSS in between floors. All bosses appear on Boss Rush. Boss Rush bosses: Crowned Slime Reginald Drisby (Crowbar) Charme Eyebat King Insect King Volcanicrab 2 Crowned Slime Tielle Samhain Electrojelly (Blue) 2 Eyebat Kings Terran Golem Griff 2 Insect Kings Gauntlet Griff & Archdevil's Arm 2 Samhain Reginald Drisby (Giant Fan) 3 Eyebat Kings 3 Insect Kings 3 Crowned Slime 3 Samhains Electrojelly Arma 2 Gauntlet Bosses Reginald Drisby (Fish) Terran Golem Volcanicrab The Geddon Device Note: This boss rush is SO DAMN HARD. SO DAMN HARD. SO. DAMN. HARD. Even my level 60 characters die here. Lots of failures on this one. ----- Dungeons are enjoyable at start but as the levels go higher, you might start to get bored. Stuff in ingredients if you're aiming for fusion but if not, go for healing items. This gets tricky as you start with only 20 slots. Pick those ingredients with (+) and discard those that don't have (+). Recovery items with (+) heals more than plain ones. Also, when out of healing items, try to level up! But be careful as trying too hard to level up while low on HP/SP might result to death. It might also be another good point to clear the floor before going to the next one as it not only gives you loots, but also precious experience points for easier boss battles. ----- Also, dungeons have 2 kinds of traps - Treasure and field traps Treasure Traps are traps activated upon opening a chest whereas field traps are traps that get activated just by walking around killing monsters. Trap types: Bomb - sets a 5 sec bomb Warp - warps you on random location in the floor Slime - summons 4 blue Slimes Winter - makes the floor slippery (countered by equipping Eskimo Boots) Paralyze - completely halts monsters and slows you down Flying Fish - 3 fishes whirl through the map. Falling Rocks - Rocks fall to damage you and monsters Random bonuses for floors. (Not all floors have bonuses. =]) Floor bonus types (random): All attack strenght doubled Adventurer attack strenght doubled Monster attack strenght doubled All defensive power doubled Adventurer defensive power doubled Monster defensive power doubled All movement speed doubled Adventurer movement speed doubled Monster movement speed doubled SP consumption halved Consumable effects halved Consumable effects doubled Revealed map Double EXP Near Blind Reduced Time for Will-O-Wisp** Will-O-Wisp will appeaer soon** Lapis Ruins and Crystal Nightmare surprise bonuses: No mini map Full of traps Slick Floors **I don't get the effect of those Will-O-Wisps, can someone elaborate? :D o------------------------------o 006.

Additional Notes o------------------------------o [x] Try to relax when adventuring in dungeons, you don't know what new enemies will appear and what their attributes are. Don't go rushing towards enemy, study them for attack patterns. :) [x] When opening a treasure chest, check out Tear first, when she gives an (!), DO NOT open the chest, it'll be a trap. [x] When Alouette buys from your store, do 130%+ ALWAYS! :) [x] Manage your time.
