Plan your next Shelves and Sorcery: Tidy Up the Enchanted Shop session
Our independent guide helps you master Shelves and Sorcery by breaking down each core element. Whether you prefer a relaxed pace or aim for leaderboard glory, these exercises highlight strategies for efficient organization, magic use, and optimal shop selection.
01 / THE GUIDE
Shop Selection Strategy
Compare item counts and atmospheres of the three shops. Start with the smallest to learn mechanics, then gradually tackle larger stores to build confidence and speed.
- Try Casual first to learn item locations before attempting Timed runs.
- Use Archmage mode to experiment with all magical tools without time pressure.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mode Transition Planning
Begin in Casual mode to map item locations, then switch to Timed mode once routes are familiar. This reduces early mistakes and improves final run times.
- Begin with The Hearth & Barrel to familiarize yourself with controls.
- Progress to the Grand Athenaeum for leaderboard competition.
03 / THE GUIDE
Sorcery Prioritization
Identify sorceries that move multiple items at once. Unlock these early to cut down manual hauling, especially useful in larger shops like the Grand Athenaeum.
- Focus on unlocking sorceries early to reduce manual hauling.
- Combine enchantments with sorceries for optimal speed in Timed mode.
04 / THE GUIDE
Enchantment Synergy
Pair enchantments that increase reach with those that boost speed. The combined effect lets you traverse shelves faster while handling more items per trip.
- Save frequently to avoid losing unlocked magic after long sessions.
- Aim for incremental item placement goals to steadily unlock new powers.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Test both input methods. Full controller support may offer smoother movement for some players, while keyboard precision can aid in fine placement during timed runs.
- Enable controller support for a hands‑free organizing experience.
- Adjust volume settings to match your preferred ambience.
