Short planning notes derived only from fields present in this dataset (unlock text, shop refresh notes, roles, and Albert Jr.’s buyer description).
Mentor gating: 4 mentor entries mention a Hobby Expansion Ticket in their unlock line. Non-ticket mentor lines include tutorial-style wording (for example Vanya, Blanc) or other explicit requirements — compare unlock_requirements per character before spending tickets.
Selling loop: Albert Jr. is described as buying many item types for Gold while roaming the suburbs on random encounters — useful when inventory fills during gathering runs.
Furniture cadence: Bob’s card states furniture displays rotate weekly every Saturday at 6 AM — plan town visits around that reset if you chase specific furniture sets.
Weather stock: Doris uses spawnConditions with separate weather keys; treat each row as its own mini-route (area + bundle) instead of a single static shop location.
