Question 1

The guide says they sell this item. Why don’t I see it?

Accepted Answer

A mapped listing is not live stock in your save. The item can still need a requirement, player level, changing stock, or the next restock. If that merchant is not a known seller, use Item Finder to see who actually lists it.

Question 2

If I wait one in-game day, will every shop refresh?

Accepted Answer

No. Some merchants restock every day, some restock every few days or in the evening, and some have no scheduled restock. Waiting one day does not refresh every shop.

Question 3

Does a shop refresh guarantee that a missing item will appear?

Accepted Answer

No. A restock can change eligible inventory, but a random item is not guaranteed to appear on the next roll.

Question 4

I can see the item but I can't buy it. What should I check?

Accepted Answer

Check Denarii, any player-level requirement, whether another item can be bought, then reopen the shop. If it still fails, reload a save. Do not spend extra in-game days restocking for this symptom.

Question 5

Does leveling up refresh shop stock immediately?

Accepted Answer

No. Leveling does not instantly replace what a merchant is showing. Player level can affect regenerated stock the next time that shop inventory changes.

Question 6

Why is a merchant missing?

Accepted Answer

Check the mapped location and any known quest requirement first. If no unlock is mapped, the merchant may be a world-state event or game issue not yet mapped.
