Solasta Faction Shop Guide

Lists of shop items for the different factions in Solasta. Will be updated more as I progress further through the game.

Overview

There are multiple factions in Solasta, however only 4 of them offer wares to the player.
These four factions are: The Circle of Dannatar, The Antiquarians, The Tower of Knowledge, and The Arcaneum.

I plan to further organize this information and provide some thoughts as I get farther along in the game, but my initial impressions of each of the factions is as follows:
The Antiquarians have basically all of the Magic Items (belts, amulets, tomes)
The Circle of Dannatar has good weapons/armor and a good selection of offensive scrolls.
The Arcaneum has primed weapons, good for crafting and the largest selection of scrolls.
And the Tower of Knowledge has a metric ton of crafting recipes, for poisons & magic scrolls, but it remains to be seen if you can reliably craft these scrolls throughout the campaign.

Notes

Relationship Tiers appear to exist (in positive) on 4 levels.
Indifferent being 0 Relation.
Sympathy being (>10<14) Relation.
Alliance being (30 or 31) Relation.
Brotherhood being (>50) Relation.
And Living Legend being (>80) Relation.
So it looks like the tiers shake out at:
0-14, 15-30, 31-50, 51-80, 81-100

Prefixes & Affixes:
Acuteness & Sturdiness: basic +1
Robustness (Empress Garb also): +2 (Empress Garb has no maximum DEX bonus)
Punisher: +1 Attack, +2d6 Piercing
Deflection: +1, Resist Piercing
Frostburn: +1 Attack, +1d8 Cold
Souldrinker: +1 Attack, +2d4 Psychic
Sharpness: +2 Attack & Damage, +1d10 Lightning
Flame Dancer: +2 AC, Resist Fire
Survival: +2 AC, +2 Saves
Lightbringer: 1d8 Radiant
Doomblade: Save against 1d6 Necrotic, 1d4 Recurring
Stormbow: 1d10 Lightning
Dragonblade: +2d6 Fire, Recurring 1d6 fire until action used to put out
Black Viper: +1 Rapier, +2d6+1 Poison

Sharpness appears to be a non-generic +2 enchantment with a variable but accompanying additional damage die.
Named Weapons: Dragonblade, Black Viper, Stormbow, Punisher, Souldrinker have good additional damage die or effects but are baseline +1 to attack (+0 for Dragonblade).

Also note: Principality of Marsgarth vendor appears to offer reduced prices for goods.

Primed Longswords are not currently in the Arcaneum's shop. This is apparently an oversight.
From enemy variety: Radiant & Fire are useful in the first half of the game (up to Abjuration) after which Cold is the way to go.

BRING SOMEONE WITH CHILL TOUCH.

Poison is of... limited use towards the end of the game, anything which is vulnerable to poison isn't really a threat.

i missed the location thanks i have to start over as i completed and will not let me just run around after end game

[[14e] Rigolax]

After testing, Living Legend seems to be 81. 80 is still Brotherhood.

Cheers! InEffect wrote those pages, so your best bet would be to drop a comment there. He discusses with people regularly.

[rcnorm]

This is simply brilliant. Thanks for taking the time for creating and sharing!!

[TetchyPorpoise]

Destroyer you can absolutely add this to the wiki you're working on. And if you're up for it I'd like to do a little back & forth about the class tier rankings you posted up.
And a secondary note, you can use Spider Climb & Misty Step in the Ruined Tower to get the chest way off in the corner, behind that large gap. In case you want to add that in somewhere.

i hit 80 and it was

[destroyermaker]

This is great. Would you mind if I added it to the wiki I'm working on? https://www.neoseeker.com/solasta-crown-of-the-magister/walkthrough (With credit of course)

[TetchyPorpoise]

Was it 80 exactly or when you hit 81?

[root]

Living legend you can obtain at 80
