I've been routinely being awarded the Shop Discount Buff after 3-4 Main Shop restocks for the past several months. I got one earlier today, but I didn't get a chance to finish my quests before I ran out of free time :( When I started up doing quests again this evening I haven't gotten a buff again. Have they changed the chances of getting the buff? :( :( :( :(

I don't think so. There have been a few times in the past where it took something like 10 shop buys before getting it. I usually get it within just a few purchases, but it does seem to vary a bit.

I've had the same experience, but I went through 20+ quests and way over 10 main shop restocks and didn't get the buff :/

I...haven't gotten the buff yet either and I"m currently questing. I usually get it by now cause I'm buying a lot from NPC shops.

I don't have it either! I've done a little bit of restocking this morning (even started to buy junk in Spells to try and trigger it) alongside Shinwa, Library, Cursed and Wizard and still don't have it. There's definitely something going on.

I've done 52 quests so far today, buying from the main shops pretty frequently, and haven't gotten it.

Today I got it at my 11th purchase and yesterday around my 20th. Usually I got it around my 3rd or 4th aswell, so it seems like it has increased to me.

I haven't got the buff either and have restocked many items from NPC shops already. :S

[Edit] Got it, at last, after around 40 purchases!
