Well, you trade the elixirs for other items that are then traded for gear. Do you actually get to keep stuff from the labyrinth though? Otherwise I'm not sure what the shop is used for there. By the time you have enough to buy something is it worth it anymore?

The shop is for getting items to help you go through the labyrinth. Certain items can be kept (they have a cave icon next to them), and there are 4 unique level 100 item sets that only be gotten in there.

Alright, that's what I thought. Sounds like a lot of work to get them but would probably be rather fun too.

Yeah, it's fun, sort of in the way (this is really reaching, but,) of the quest mode in Ergheiz... tertiary to the main game, but possibly more fun. :p

Maybe a little like Tobal's quest mode too. I can certainly sort of see the similarities XD
