While exploring Xion, players will encounter shop owners for the first time and learn all about the affinity system. It’s best not to ignore or underestimate this mechanic asyou will gain more valuable itemsfromincreasing shop affinity inStellar Blade.
How To Increase Shop’s Affinity In Stellar Blade
Every shop owner inStellar Bladehas three levels of affinity, andit can be increased by purchasing items from their store. The amount of affinity increased depends on the price of the items purchased, so the more expensive an item is, the more affinity is earned.
Additionally, some shop owners have stories andquests of their own inStellar Blade, andsome of these quests will only be unlocked after reaching a certain affinity level. As a side note, the shop owners will also become friends with Eve and gradually start to greet her warmly and speak to her with a casual and much friendlier tone. That doesn’t necessarily affect the gameplay, but it does add a nice touch to the game.
Some shop owners, like Kasim, who runs the Gwen Hair Salon inStellar Blade,don’t have an affinity system.
What Does High Affinity Do In Stellar Blade?
There are three levels of affinity, and you will naturally start at level one. Once you hit level two with any shop owner, new items will be added to their shop. The items added depend on the owner, as each store has its own additions, but they’re mostly cosmetics. The same thing will happen when the shop owner hits affinity level three.
The R Shop and Lyle’s bookshop willadd new outfits to their store inStellar Blade. Other merchants, like the Sisters’ Junk, will introduce earrings. Keep in mind that cosmetics items are purchased using Vitcoin and not Gold, like other items.
There’s also a robot in the Wasteland that goes by the name D1G-g2rthat requires items like Coil and Motor to buy its stuff. Therobot initially sells some materialsas well as glasses, and more will be added after increasing its affinity level.
