Add a supply vendor to each safe elevator.

What I mean by this is there should be a vendor on every depth that does not have enemies (towns, crossroads, etc, excluding the Core for now) where the player can choose to buy any number of usable items for the levels to come, rather then just being forced to find them and share them with the party. I know Depth 8 has a vendor that sells certain vials, but I'm saying that ALL usable pickups should be sold by vendors like this, not just a select few. Of course, certain pickups could cost more then others, for example Mechas or Health Capsules should definitely cost at least twice as much as any vial, given how useful they are.

But nonetheless, I think the player should at leave have the option of spending crowns to stock up before starting a series of potentially hard levels.

Thoughts?

All pickup items except for

All pickup items except for mecha knights were previously sold in Moorcroft and Emberlight.

They removed them because stockpiling healing items was stupid.

No it wasn't; you're only

No it wasn't; you're only allowed to carry 3 of any item. 3 health capsules can go a long way if you're cautious, but on the flipside they might not save you at all if you get cornered.

The developers of the game agree with what I said, which is indicated in that, post-release, they removed the pills and such from the vendors. Getting 9 healing pills(3 of each tier) in Emberlight did make you effectively unkillable when soloing T3, if you used them right.

So, think what you want, champ. Point is, they took it out because they didn't like what it did. So, your suggestion is a step backwards.

It was a honest suggestion;

It was a honest suggestion; you don't have to belittle me for it. I don't appreciate being talked down to.

I see your point though.

I very seriously doubt

@Hazel, I doubt the devs thought stockpiling healing items was "stupid". You should ratchet down the condescension. It's off-putting.
