Yellow pages directory

This page is structured exactly like any Yellow Pages directory: it lists all different shops divided by type.

Apothecaries

Best deals are highlighted in green, worst ones in red. In the NES port, all magic shops use the prices from the original Moonglow shop.

Shop Town Ash Gin Gar Sil Mos Prl
Shiela's "The Magics" Paws 3 4 2 9 6 7
Margot's "Magical Herbs" Moonglow 2 5 6 3 6 9
Sasha's "Herbs and Spices" Skara Brae 2 4 9 6 4 8
Shannon's "Magic Mentar" Buccaneers Den 6 7 9 9 9 1
NES port - 2 5 6 3 6 9

The apothecary shop in Paws is hidden beyond a false wall. Check carefully the east wall in the village armoury.

To access the apothecary shop in Buccaneers Den you need to cast one "Dispel" magic, that requires a black pearl as one of the reagents, but black pearls are cheap in that same shop only. Therefore, you will have to buy at least one expensive black pearl somewhere else to get many cheap ones.

Healers

If the Stranger is in quite good health, he can give blood to the healers and practice the virtue of Sacrifice. The cities of Skara Brae and Jhelom feature a healer and a cheap inn where the party can rest, making them suitable locations where to improve Sacrifice quickly.

Unfortunately, Lord British didn't introduce free health care (like in the European Union) yet, so you have to pay cash every time you go to a healer. At least, they don't ask to see your health insurance (unlike in the USA and UK).
