Plan your next Arcane Merchant session
Our independent guide examines each documented system in Arcane Merchant, offering observation ideas and comparison points so you can refine your approach without relying on undocumented mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Inventory Grouping Review
List the categories of items you currently stock. Note which groups you restock most often and consider grouping similar items together for easier management.
- Experiment with different groupings of items to see which arrangement feels most intuitive.
- Keep an eye on which categories you restock most often to streamline your organization.
02 / THE GUIDE
Price Point Tracking
Select a single product and record its price, sales count and revenue over three equal periods. Compare the data to see how price changes correlate with income.
- Track price changes over several sales cycles to notice any patterns.
- Compare the price of similar items to gauge market expectations.
03 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Cost‑Benefit Chart
Create a simple table of available upgrades, recording their cost and the amount of new display space they provide. Use the chart to prioritize upgrades that add the most space per coin spent.
- Plan upgrades that increase display space before adding new product types.
- Consider the cost of each upgrade relative to your current wealth.
04 / THE GUIDE
Assistant Task Assignment
Assign each recruited assistant a distinct daily duty—such as restocking, cleaning, or greeting customers. After a week, compare overall profit to identify which task yields the clearest benefit.
- Assign assistants to tasks that match your current bottlenecks, such as restocking.
- Match hero quests with items you lack to improve stock variety.
05 / THE GUIDE
Hero Quest Alignment
Match each hero’s expedition target with an item type you currently have low stock of. Record the items returned and evaluate whether the quest helped balance your inventory.
- Use custom volume controls to balance music and ambient sounds for focus.
- Take short breaks between sessions to enjoy the relaxed vibe.
