What's the best strategy for Gozag call shop?
I also know that quality of a shop depend on a char level, so theoretically the latter the better but practically a xl27 don't need any shit more while a xl12 could really enjoy some sudden power loot.
My strategy is usually to call one or at most two weapons shop (if available in the choice) early on, if I haven't yet trained a lot a weapon skill (so I could eventually switch without too hassle if something good is inside). This usually means before/by Lair, as after most of my chars have trained well a weapon skill, and opening a weapon shop would be an excessive gamble.
Afterwards, I go for armour/jewellery/gadget depending on what I miss most. If available I usually go for antique armour shop because who doesn't love rare fixedart and random crap with +0 enchantment and negative resistances.
I usually avoid scrolls and magic potions, the first being too variable (spending 1.5k$$$ for a shop full of ?ID. Nice!) and the latter not so important (as being a Gozag char I usually am full of those).
However, in most games I usually open 6-8 shops,, from which I usually buy the grand total of 0 shit things (barring the gadget shop).
What I am doing wrong?
