Hera: The Sword of Rhin/Shops and equipment

Weapon dealers
After you purchased your starting weapon, it will do until you will get a ship armed with powerful cannons (as it was in Ultima 2). Then, since it is impossible to sell items (as it was in Ultima 2, again), just save money until you can afford the crossbow.

Armor shops
Since it is impossible to sell items (as it was in Ultima 2), it is more convenient to limit shopping to the three armors highlighted in green.

Healers
The only way to restore and improve health is to buy Health Points (as it was in Ultima 2).

Food shops
Food consumption is about 1 portion every 50-60 moves in the Apple II version, and about 1 every 30 in the DOS version.
