Shop

The Shop functions as a place for the player to exchange XP Levels for equipment or potions. It is accessible in-between most missions and can also be accessible in the middle of some missions.

In Assassin of Steve, the shop is at its simplest form, being built into the area in-between missions, however in Assassin of Steve 2, the shop became accessible through the Shop Button, which is one place you could teleport to from any Shop Button. Assassin of Steve 3 functions similarly but it is called the Shop Altar instead.

Additionally, Assassin of Steve 2 introduced Power Coins, which could be used for Health Boost or Power Arrow upgrades. Assassin of Steve 3's shop featured added consumables, the Runes Area, and the Legendary Box Altar.

## Assassin of Steve

Assassin of Steve's shop is the simplest out of the three maps, always being a long hall that the player could enter in-between each mission. The player can exchange XP Levels for equipment or potions by stepping up close to a button and pressing it. There is stronger and stronger equipment and potions as the missions went on.

## Assassin of Steve 2

Assassin of Steve 2's shop is accessed through the Shop Button, which always teleports the player to the main shop area. This area contains multiple chests and ender chests, as well as some buttons for changing the difficulty level. There are three more buttons which teleport the player to the Equipment Shop, Potions Shop, and Power Shop respectively.

### Equipment Shop

The Equipment Shop sells swords, axes, bows, shields and armor for XP Levels. It upgrades after completing every mission, often containing the next set of equipment, or still containing the current set but at a lower price.

The Potions Shop sells all the various potions available in the map for XP Levels. It sells early-tier potions from Missions 1 to 5, mid-tier potions from Missions 6 to 9, and late-tier potions from Missions 10 to 12.

### Power Shop

The Power Shop is where players can exchange Power Coins for upgrades to their base health or on upgrading their Power Arrows. It is unlocked after completing Mission 3.

## Assassin of Steve 3

Assassin of Steve 3's shop is accessed through the Shop Altar, which always teleports the player to the main shop area. Like in Assassin of Steve 2's, this area contains multiple chests and ender chests, as well as some buttons for changing the difficulty level, but brand new for Assassin of Steve 3 are some levers that can toggle the kill and death counter.

Additionally, unlike Assassin of Steve 2, there are no buttons teleporting the player between shops, since whenever a shop is upgraded it is cloned directly into place.

### Equipment Shop

The Equipment Shop sells swords, axes, bows, shields and armor for XP Levels. It upgrades after completing every mission, often containing the next set of equipment, or still containing the current set but at a lower price.

The Legendary Box Altar is where players can place down and open Legendary Boxes that they may obtain from killing mobs in missions or from chests. It is unlocked after completing Mission 3.

The Runes Area is where players can unlock Runes using Gems that they obtain from killing mobs in missions. Players can then equip unlocked Runes for permanent buffs or effects. It is unlocked after completing Mission 4 when Ernest moves into the shop.

## Trivia

* In the 1.8 version of Assassin of Steve 2, the rewards from the Power Shop were different - while Health Boost existed, Power Elixirs were unlocked instead of Power Arrows. Power Elixirs were much more powerful potions, and could be traded from some villagers using Chemicoins. These more powerful potions inspired the expansion of potions into early, mid and late tier in the 1.9 and 1.10 updates for Assassin of Steve 1 and 2, which made the Power Elixirs obsolete, hence why they were replaced with Power Arrows.
	+ Chemicoins were originally going to be brought into the 1.10 version of Assassin of Steve 2 as well, and basically you would have been able to buy stacks of Power Arrows using them. However, the automatic arrow-giving system that Bows have caused some problems, so this idea was scrapped, and the way it works now - where stronger and stronger forms of Power Arrows just replace regular arrows - was implemented.
