'''NPC shops''' are the shopkeepers found in every town and on many fields. They sell potions, scrolls, weapons, armour and tools for Vesos, and buy back almost anything you carry. This page explains the shop window, how prices work and the extra tools MapleVerse gives you for selling loot.

== The shop window ==
Click a shopkeeper whose menu offers a shop. The window has two halves:
* '''Left: the shop's stock''' (Buy). Click an item to buy it.
* '''Right: your bag''' (Sell), with the same tabs as your Item window.

# '''To buy,''' click an item on the left. A single piece (equipment) asks "Are you sure you want to buy it?"; a stackable item asks "How many are you willing to buy?" and then confirms the total.
# '''To sell,''' click an item on the right. A single piece asks "Are you sure you want to sell it?"; a stack asks how many.
# Press '''LEAVE STORE''' when you are done.

If you cannot afford something you see <code>You do not have enough vesos.</code> If your bag is full you see <code>Please check if your inventory is full or not.</code> and nothing is bought or sold.

== How prices work ==
* '''Buying''' costs the shop's listed price.
* '''Selling''' pays 60% of the item's listed price, rounded, with a minimum of 1 Vesos for anything that sells at all. Many items, such as quest items and some rewards, have no price and cannot be sold to a shop.
* A shop never charges less for an item than it would pay you for it, so there is no profit in buying from a shop and selling the same item straight back.
* Ammunition (throwing stars and bullets) is sold as a whole stack and its sale price takes the stack's contents into account.

{{Changed|Shops in the original game buy items at their full listed price. In MapleVerse every item sells to an NPC for 60% of that price. A shop's listed prices are unchanged.}}

== Buyback ==
Sold something by mistake? Open the '''Buyback''' tab. It lists everything you sold to shops within the last 24 hours, newest first (the 100 most recent), and you can buy any of it back for exactly the Vesos you were paid. A returning item needs room in your bag; if there is none, nothing is taken. Items drop off the list after 24 hours.

An item you drop on the ground and nobody picks up before it disappears also comes back here: it waits in the Buyback tab of '''any''' shop for 24 hours. Items on the ground disappear after about 3 minutes, or sooner if the map gets too full of items or is cleared. You buy a lost drop back for what the shop would pay you for it (its sell price, at least 1 Veso). An item someone else picked up never comes back, and Vesos you drop do not come back either.

{{Changed|In the original game an item left on the ground was gone for good. In MapleVerse an item you dropped and nobody picked up waits in any shop's Buyback tab for 24 hours.}}

== Sell All ==
The '''SELL ALL''' button sells the loot in the tab your bag is showing (Equip, Use, Set-up or Etc) in one go. The game first tells you what it will sell and what it will keep, for example <code>Sell 14 Etc items for 3,210 vesos?</code>, and only sells after you confirm.

'''Favourites are always kept.''' Press the star button in the Item window to switch into favourite mode, then click items to star or unstar them.

On the '''Equip''' tab, Sell All sells every piece of gear except starred items, quest items, sealed items and anything a shop will not buy.

On the '''Use, Set-up and Etc''' tabs, Sell All also keeps:
* quest items and untradeable items,
* one-of-a-kind items,
* sealed items (see Item Guard in [[Trading]]) and items with a time limit,
* throwing stars and bullets,
* materials the Maker or a crafting NPC uses, items an NPC exchange accepts, and travel items,
* anything worth 1 Veso or less.

The confirm box names what it is keeping: <code>Sell 14 Etc items for 3,210 vesos? Keeping: …</code>. Sell All does not work on the Cash tab.

== Common problems ==
* '''Sell All sold something I wanted.''' Star it next time, and use the Buyback tab to get it back within 24 hours.
* '''I dropped an item by mistake and it vanished.''' Look in the Buyback tab of any shop within 24 hours. If another player picked it up, it is theirs.
* '''Sell All left items behind.''' They are on the keep list above; sell them one at a time if you are sure.

== Recharging ammunition ==
Throwing stars and bullets are rechargeable. A shop that sells ammunition shows a '''RECHARGE''' button: click a partly used stack and confirm to top it up for the price shown. '''RECHARGE ALL''' tops up every short stack in your Use tab and tells you the total first. If you cannot afford them all it offers to recharge as many as you can.
