1. This is a description of the item you are currently looking at purchasing. The icon to the left of the description indicates what type of item it is. In this case, we are looking at a blade class weapon.

2. This shows the power of the item you're looking at. If purchasing weapons, this will show attack power, and if purchasing armor it will show defense power. As with most things in Fenix Blade, higher values indicate better equipment.

3. This is where you select items to purchase. Items in white are within your budget, while items in gray are too expensive to purchase. The price of each item is listed after its name.

4. Your current amount of money (i.e. Maru) is displayed here.

5. These three slots display information about the item you've selected. Amount is the total quantity of that item you possess. This is split into two groups: equipped and on hand. In this display, you already have two of this particular item (Mithril Sword), and neither is currently being used.

6. The size of your pack is displayed here. As your journey progresses, you may come across upgrades for your pack. You may only hold as many of a single item as your pack size. In other words, according to this display you can hold up to 22 of any item you wish, but no more than that.

7. This display is particularly important, and shows how the item you've selected will impact the members of your party. Each character will have two values, base, and real. Base is the raw difference in power between what that character has equipped, and what you've selected. Real is the total difference in power between what that character has equipped, and what you've selected -- including weapon proficiencies and charms/skills that may impact equipment efficiency.

8. In this example the selected weapon is less powerful than the item he is currently equipped with, by a base factor of two. Taking into account his weapon proficiencies, abilities, and other equipment, the total difference in attack power is 8. He is crouching to indicate the weapon is inferior to the one he currently has equipped.

9. In this example the selected weapon is more powerful than the item she is currently equipped with, by a base factor of three. Taking into account he weapon proficiencies, abilities, and other equipment, the total difference in attack power is 12. She has her fist raised to indicate the weapon is superior to the one she currently has equipped. You might want to buy this weapon for her, but then again you already have two on hand!
