Shops

There are 5 different shops (Weapon, Armor, Shield, Ornament, Pet) in MinuteSlash which are encountered periodically as you progress further away from the castle.

In each shop you can purchase new equipment, or upgrade your equipment. Shops further away from the castle allow you to upgrade your various equipment to a higher level.

A shop sells 4 items at a time and is always consistent of what the shop is. The only shop that will never sell new items is the Pet Shop, which is restricted to only upgrading pets.

Buying and Upgrading
If the player already owns an item the shop is selling, a random item you own will be displayed instead with a (+) symbol at the end of its name. This symbol means you can level up your owned item to the current shop's level (based on current km). However, only the items that are lower level than the shop's level can be upgraded.

If all 4 unique items from the shop are already owned (either purchased or found in a treasure chest), and all of the player's item type for that shop are equal or higher level, then the shop's slot will say "Sold Out".

Equipping
You can equip any item you currently own of that shop type while you are in the shop by selecting the "Equip" button. This can be convenient if you want to view a new item you got or to just switch to something else.

Releasing
The "Release" button appears after you select an item from the shop's menu. By selecting an item from the menu you can view its stats and see what it looks like. The purpose of the Release button is to remove the selected item and put you back to your currently equipped item. Once you hit Release the Equip button will take its place.
