Varic unrolls a scroll across the bar, the parchment glowing faintly with magical runes. "Let's see what might interest you," he murmurs, his finger tracing the images and descriptions of the items listed. Each item is depicted with meticulous detail, alongside a brief explanation of its properties and uses.
Varic's collection, kept secure within a pocket dimension, is accessible only through his merchant system.
"Each item comes with its own price, of course. The Sobriety Pendants and the Day Stone are particularly popular, given the nature of our... current situation. But remember, investing in the right equipment can make all the difference between life and death in the depths of the dungeon. We can barter if you've got means or you can incur debt and pay it off with the proceeds from what you retrieve for me from the dungeon. Debt is held as a [Title: Debt (Grade)] that Merchants can [Assess]."

- [Dreamshade Elixir, E-Grade]. The delicate shiny vial filled with a swirling, luminescent liquid that seemed to dance with its own inner light.

- [Magic Gleaming Sword, F-Grade] from Vigil's Room in the entrance of the dungeon. Despite the sheaths condition, this mithril blade gleams brightly in any lighting condition, amplifying the light and projecting it out to AOE Grade-E 50ft! The [Equipment Limiter, 1: Requires External Light Source] does apply. F-grade characters aren't allowed to use magical items like these unless you had Focus F skill. For you it's just a nice shiny sword made of Mithril.
