Shop layout and furniture buffs

Display types include tables, racks and stands, and storage chests. Tables and racks are the front-of-house display surface; storage chests are the back-of-house buffer. The display type list is attributed to guide sources; the existence of furniture that boosts sales appeal is part of the official Steam feature list.

Zoning stock into themed clusters and keeping walking routes clear raises customer throughput and the price ceiling. The zoning and walking-route framing is attributed to guide sources; the price-ceiling mechanism is part of the official Steam feature list.

Some furniture grants permanent combat buffs including health, attack power, and movement speed. The buffs apply on the next run and persist across cycles, which makes them the highest-impact furniture category. The buff categories are attributed to guide sources; the existence of permanent combat buffs from furniture is part of the official Steam feature list.

Some furniture raises customer capacity and commercial appeal. The commercial appeal feeds the price ceiling, which in turn raises the marginal gold per sale. The capacity and appeal framing is attributed to guide sources; the price-ceiling mechanism is part of the official Steam feature list.

Sequence purchases so the first buffs land before the first expansion. The first purchase should be furniture that pairs a combat buff with a sales appeal bonus so the player benefits on the dungeon side and the shop side at the same time. Subsequent purchases can fill out the combat buff set, then layer on commercial appeal, then expand capacity. The sequencing rule is attributed to guide sources.

The first-cycle furniture move is a single S-tier combat buff piece that survives the rest of the first profitable cycle. The Worldeka dungeon guide ranks furniture for combat buff value and the Worldeka beginner guide binds the first furniture priority to the first profitable cycle. A single S-tier combat buff piece lifts the player's effective tier on the next dungeon run without raising the unbanked-haul risk on that run. Pair the purchase with a same-cycle Quest Board turn-in for survivability gear rather than raw gold: the board pays out gear that reduces the next run's death penalty, while raw gold from the board funds the next shop-day reinvestment instead of the current cycle. See /shop/pricing-and-demand for the same-cycle Fair-at-zero-Prestige pricing and /dungeons/quest-board for the same-cycle board turn-in.
