For shops on each world, visit:

• GUARDIANS Colony shops
• Parum shops
• Neudaiz shops
• Moatoob shops

Work in progress...

• Dynamic vs Static (make it pretty)
• Armor
• Units
• Parts (master table for all part sets (like clothes tables); exclude CV parts as, essentially, duplicates and make a note: CV for everything but HUcas(e)/RAcas(e) sets and Ossoria sets)

Dynamic vs Static

Weapons, Armor, Units, and Items are (entirely or partially) dynamic. The shop's contents cycle every 10 minutes, with no apparent pattern, but if you set your clock to time X, you'll always get the same shop contents.

Some shops may be "static", but their contents may still be controlled by progress in story mode.

TODO: Translate this better, or redo the same work (time that a given weapon will appear in a shop). It should probably be verified, in any case (in case some of it changed in the transition to the US market)... Also, that doesn't include armor, items, or units.

Weapons

The weapons shops have dynamic contents that cycle every 10 minutes.

Your Story mode progress determines a certain line (either by weapon rank or rarity...?) up to which you may buy weapons. The GUARDIANS Colony Weapons shop will sell any weapons up to this line, but the world Weapons shops will generally sell weapons in a cluster close to this line (i.e., if the line is 6-stars or B-rank, they'll sell mostly 6-star/B-rank weapons).

Some weapons you will never find in any weapons shop. These include...

• The gag weapons like Beefslayer Rare, Real Hand Gun, Amore Rose, Harisen Battle Fan, and Frying Pan (to name a few).
• Rare S-rank (or S2-rank) weapons (which, arguably, the Story mode line never advances beyond).
• The Crea weapons (I think) (e.g., Crea Saber, Cresaud, and Alseva Cresa).

Discs

The content of Photon Art Disc shops is always the same, only limited by your Story mode progress.

The tables below summarize the contents of the Disc shops. Although the shops list their contents in one menu, the discs are split among types here to reduce length. The Bullets table has condensed the elemental Bullets (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Ground, Light, Dark) for each weapon into one row, to further reduce length; see Bullet disks if you wish to see each of these discs.

Armor

Dynamic.

Units

Dynamic.

What sorts of units? (Magic, Stamina, etc)

Items

Here you can buy Consumables and Traps.

This shop is the same at any location. The table below summarizes the available selection. Items with a yellow background are dynamic and may not always appear in the shop.

PM goods

This shop is exclusive to the GUARDIANS Colony. See GUARDIANS Colony Shop: PM Goods for more information.

Makeovers

This shop is exclusive to the GUARDIANS Colony. See GUARDIANS Colony Shop: Makeovers for more information.

Clothes

At clothes shops you can buy clothes and change the clothes you're wearing.

These shops always sell all available clothes depending on Story mode progress and shop location.

The clothes shops on Parum, Neudaiz, and Moatoob only sell items made natively (by CUBIC DESIGN, MIYA-B, or ROAR ROARS, respectively); the GUARDIANS Colony shop sells any available clothes. Parum also sells the Kubara clothes AMF Army Jacket/Bottoms Set (male and female) and the 410-450 Ossoria Dresses (female).

The types of clothing have a certain priority (having to do with their coverage), illustrated below.

When you select clothing with a high priority, it will automatically replace any overlapping, currently equipped clothing of a lower priority. On the other hand, when you select clothing of a low priority, if overlapping clothing of a higher or equal priority is currently equipped, you will be asked whether you want to remove the overlapping clothing.

In addition, there are divided circles next to some items of clothing; each half of these circles may be either red or gray. Gray essentially means empty, while red means full. No two adjacent pieces of clothing (shirt and pants, pants and shoes, shirt and bottoms, top and shoes) may have opposing "full" halves. Only pants will have both halves red and no item will have both halves gray (this is equivalent to No Circle).

• Example: consider a Shirt with a circle with the lower-half filled (red) next to it. This Shirt cannot be equipped at the same time as any Pants or Bottoms with a circle with the upper-half filled; it can, however, be equipped with any Shoes (since they're not adjacent), or with any Pants or Bottoms that either have no circle or a circle with the upper-half unfilled (gray). The following table may help to understand this.

Parts

Every parts shop has the same selection, mitigated only by your Story mode progress.

Although GRM: SHELL makes all parts (except the few by Kubara), every world sells them (in contrast to the policy on clothes).

Upgrades

Here you can use Upgrade Grinders you've collected to upgrade any weapon as many as 10 times. Generally, upgrades will be 100% successful. However, in attempting to upgrade a Rare (meat) weapon, it may 'break' and turn into a Well-done weapon (keeping all upgrades applied to that point); if you manage to apply 10 upgrades without breaking the weapon, it becomes a Medium weapon.

Below is a table summarizing the range of increases for each weapon type and weapon rank.
