Description:

Merchant’s Folly reworks several aspects of Shops and deals, making it so your actions (and patronage) actually matter! Shops may now sell different types of hearts, offer Items with variable prices, and provide Trinkets. Stealing from the Devil may result in more expensive deals, and being evil may cause Angels to sell items for coins.

All of the changes and additions detailed below have been documented on the official Absolution Wiki, which can be found here [tboiabsolution.wiki.gg].

Pickups that have an assigned price now have a random chance to reroll to a different variant when they are first initiated (such as when entering a Shop). This includes the following:

• Red Hearts – Half Red Heart, Double Red Heart, Rotten Heart, Blended Heart, Eternal Heart
• Soul Hearts – Half Soul Heart, Black Heart, Gold Heart, Bone Heart
• Keys – Double Key, Charged Key, Golden Key
• Bombs – Double Bomb, Giga Bomb, Golden Bomb
• Sacks – Black Sack
• Batteries – Micro Battery, Mega Battery, Golden Battery
• Cards/Runes – Rune Shard, Black Rune, Soul Stone
• Items – Trinkets

• The price of an item varies based on its Quality, from 10 to 25 Cents.
• Shops will refuse to sell particular types of pickups if the Karma stat is too low, replacing them with Black Flies.
• Having negative Karma has a chance to cause pickups in Angel rooms to cost coins, rather than be free to collect.
• If the "Cloak and Dagger" mod is installed, attempting to steal from Shops three times causes a boss to spawn, and has permanent effects for the remainder of the run.

This mod is just one small part of the Absolution Overhaul project, and more releases are right around the corner. If you are interested in other mods that belong to this series, you can find them here on Steam, marked with the [AO] tag.
