#2989 New shop types: magical accessories, evokables \o/

[Matthew Cline]

Ideas for two new shop types:

1) A shop which sells a mixture of spellbooks, magic staves, and rings of wizardry, fire, ice and +MP.

2) A shop which sells a mixture of wands, rods, and miscellaneous evokable items (besides decks).

To add more shops the other shops will either have to be generated more rare to keep them spawning at the same overall rate, or more shops overall will have to be generated to cater for the new ones.

Either could be unbalancing, as increasing the spawn of shops would not really be great, and the ring shop in particular shouldnt be made more rare. For me that shop is of those core things that really helps me out :P

I was thinking of book shops sometimes being turned into book+accessory shops, and wand shops sometimes being turned into evokable shops.

They could also be used in Bazaars, where they'd be chosen on purpose.

I like both. Even if they only come up rarely (e.g. every fifth book shops becomes type 1, every fourth wand shop becomes type 2), it would be interesting.

I think there should be a shop that sells only decks of cards. (Perhaps allow all misc items but I feel that decks only is interesting already.)

I really like this idea. It would be good if shop types could have subtypes which are sometimes used. E.g.

scroll shops
- as now
- scrolls of enchant/vorpalise (w:1)

evokables
- wands
- misc items
- only decks (w:1)

etc.

Another idea by happylisk: ammunition shops.
