Postgame dungeon where shops and peddlers are common, and floor items mostly consist of Gitan.
The gimmick is similar to Asuka Kenzan's 自由経済活動 and Shiren 4 Plus's Mystery Shopping Mall,
but unlike those two dungeons, you're allowed to bring items into Training Path of Shopping.
Overall, it's a decent place to find some uncommon bracelets and practice stealing techniques.
Strategy
General
Monsters are stronger than Sumo Dungeon, Dune of Batsu, and Training Path of Gimmicks.
Minotaurs and other enemies from Serpentcoil Island's mid game floors appear from 3F.
Bag Knaves appear starting on 11F, and the monster table is updated every 5~10 floors.
31-40F features very dangerous monsters like Miracle Hen, Nigiri Honcho, and Nimble Knave.
Flowing water and rafts are somewhat common, and a Porkon or monk on a raft can be tricky.
Monster Houses are uncommon, but Sudden and Special styles can be generated on rare occasions.
Behemoth Gates have a chance of being generated between 2-19F and 21-39F.
So overall, it's said to be the 2nd hardest dungeon among those that allow bringing items.
Dangerous Merchandise
It's best to bring the following items in a pot for auto-identification purposes:
- Leaping Grass (100G)
- Silver-seal Scroll (300G)
- Onigiri Scroll (400G)
- Rune-eraser Scroll (400G)
- Gambler's Scroll (1000G)
Restricted Play (No Bringing Items)
Despite the trickier monster table, it's possible to clear this dungeon without bringing items.
1-2F has high value Gitan bags on the ground, so with some shop luck, you can get a run going.
This is especially the case if you manage to purchase or steal a Wallpass Bracelet.
That said, expect to restart the dungeon a lot due to Death Reapers appearing on 1F.
Farming Techniques
Mixergon Bun (16-30F)
Mixergon Bun is essentially a Synthesis Pot [4] that can be put in pots / can do Cross-Mixing.
Mixergon (118 HP, 68 atk, 40 def) appears on 16-30F, so the idea is to turn them into Peach Buns
using Peach Staves or a weapon that has the Peach Bun rune (from Peach Club).
※ Mixergon Bun can be eaten inside a village warehouse to safely synthesize items.

- Wallpass Bracelet
- Lets you pass through walls, but you take damage equal to 4% of your max HP per turn in a wall.
