How to Use and Upgrade the Marketplace

Upgrade the Marketplace in fire emblem warriors three hopes to improve the Item Shopkeeper and Armorer. Learn upgrade costs and materials.

Unlocking the Marketplace: The Marketplace facility is unlocked in the Base Camp during Chapter 4. This facility is distinct from the Marketplace location within the Base Camp. Upgrading it impacts the Item Shopkeeper and the Armorer, who sells weapons, while the Item Shopkeeper sells Crests, Gifts, and ingredients. Upgrading the Marketplace does not affect the usefulness of Crests.

Upgrading the Marketplace: After completing a few Side Quests in Chapter 4, you will be prompted to speak with the Facilities Master about expanding facilities. Upgrades require two types of materials: Building Materials and Licenses, each with three tiers: Basic (Sutler’s), Quality (Merchant’s), and Lavish (Purveyor’s). Higher-tier materials become available as you progress the main questline and can be found by exploring Surveying Spots or purchased from the Supply Depot.
