I've been looking through the boards, but I couldn't find anything. There are a few items from Blackheart Hollow I'd be interested in, but it seems to be empty all the time. Is there maybe a guide somewhere? Or a ping group?
It's a store that is hand stocked, and only one item shows up at a time and it's pretty infrequent, comparatively. It's literally down to luck. I've been on site since 2012 and I think I can count on two hands the number of times I've seen anything in there, much less managed to buy it!
Still, keep checking back every once in a while, you might get really lucky!
Ping groups for BH are utterly useless because by the time the ping would go out, the item's looooong gone.
[edit] I think Subetalodge has a list of all the items sold in BH, though.
Wow, I didn't know that there was only one item at a time! That makes actually buying something even less likely. Yeah, I understand how a ping group wouldn't make any sense in that case. Anyway, thanks for answering! :)
I thought it was RNG that decided on what was stocked and when? I'd say keep checking (But not too often or you'll get kicked out for some time), but also make sure you have enough tokens. I haven't checked for a while because I want to save my tokens at the moment.
If you want specific items and don't care about how you obtain them, maybe see if anyone is willing to trade any.

The Blackheart Hollow is not manually stocked in the traditional sense! The shop itself will pick an item from the available stock to restock a few times a day. The odds of finding something ... are not great, I'll admit. The manually stocking part is on the backend where Ariel and I keep an eye on how many of an item are left. For example, say an Apple was part of the stock. We might put 250 of it in when we first add it to the site. After a few weeks, we go back and check to see if it's out of stock and need to replenish it or not. We tend to "kill" the stock of some of the cheaper items, too. So say the Apple because so devauled and still had the chance of like 59 going out. We might just change that to 0, so the shop has less cheap things to pull from!
Whoops, sorry about that! I think I got my "which stores are hand stocked" wrong. Thanks for the corrections! :D
Thanks for the info! I think I should have enough tokens, but Maleria already kicked me out :D
Thank you for explaining how it works, knowing the mechanics behind Blackheart Hollow makes the concept easier to understand :)
Thank you! I mean I had a general idea that's how it worked, but its really nice to see the actual details.
