SHOPS

grocery

Instead of buying individual food items you can buy a menu of groceries that falls into one of three budget categories. The specifics are up to you, as the menus are meant to simplify your finances, but choose wisely! Your grocery budget is meant to last you the entire month and each category comes with its own perks or lack thereof.

Basic | Consists of the bare minimum to fulfill basic needs. Some bread, some veg, and maybe a little bit of meat. This will keep you alive and that’s about it. May leave you still hungry or leave you susceptible to food crisis. Farmers and Fishermen get this automatically through their work in providing food. | Cost: 50 Brass

Bountiful | Consists of ingredients for filling, hearty meals and occasional treats! Enough to share with a hungry neighbor or get through a crisis without incident if you ration well. | Cost: 100 Brass

Lavish | The finest ingredients money can buy, fit for nobility or preparing for a feast. Fine selections of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, bread, expensive spices, and sweets! Those who purchase this menu will be immune to events affecting food resources, can frequently offer food to neighbors with no cost to themselves (or host a dinner party), and once per month can choose to resurrect at home in bed if they die. | Cost: 300 Brass

upgrades

Interested in upgrading your home or business? Seek out a construction consultation, or become a shareholder of your business depending on what it is! All upgrades should be reported to the bank, but here are some listings for your convenience.

Home Upgrades:

Depending upon where you live, you may be eligible for upgrades to your home! Ask at the Bank if you are not sure what home upgrades apply to you.

Small Item | Small personal items or pieces of decor. Applies to things that are handheld or easily carried by a single person. Available regardless of home or living situation and does not need to be reported, just add it to your ledger! | Cost: 50 Brass

Large Item | A piece of furniture or larger decor. Applies to things that can be carried by a single person with some effort or things that require a team lift. Again, this is available to everyone and does not require approval. | Cost: 150 Brass

Room Remodel | Allows you to modify a single room in a cosmetic way, such as painting it or redecorating with multiple items to personalize it.| 300 Brass

Home Remodel | Allows you to personalize and modify your entire home to make it more functional and personal! May account for minor structural changes, or incur more costs if structural changes are drastic. | Base Cost: 500 Brass

Home Expansion | Add a new room to your home! May incur additional costs if it requires specialty furniture or has an elaborate design. | Base Cost: 1500 Brass

New Custom Home | Want to build a brand new home from scratch, just for you, wherever you want it? The cost will vary, based on how much space you need and how fancy you want to make it, so inquire at the Bank for details! | Base Cost: 5000 Brass

Business Upgrades:

Some businesses such as farms, clinics, and fishing boats are eligible for expansions while others allow you to invest stock in the company to receive more back over time. Regardless of what the nature of the upgrade is, the benefits are uniform for the sake of simplicity.

Level 1 | This is the level you start at with any job, and it is free. It allows you to get 50 extra Brass for each thread above 10 tags you submit for bonuses. | Cost: None, this is the default

Level 2 | Improves your business space a moderate amount, providing more space, more equipment, or more sources of income depending on the business. Allows you to get 80 extra Brass per thread bonus. | Cost: 800 Brass

Level 3 | The maximum level, which makes your business space the most efficient and high quality it can be! Allows you to get 100 extra Brass per thread bonus. | Cost 2000 Brass

clothing

The clothing shop has a variety of offerings in different colors and styles, and are priced by complexity. The specifics of the outfit are up to you as long as it fits into the category you’re paying for, but a few examples are provided.



Simple | A minimal outfit in two or three pieces and basic colors. Includes shoes, and may include some basic accessories like suspenders and hats. Only a bit more fashionable than what you arrived in. | Cost: 50 Brass



Classic | A structured and functional outfit that is relatively durable with some embellishments. Includes shoes, gloves, and a neck accessory and/or hat if desired! | Cost: 200 Brass



Stylish | A quite fashionable outfit suitable for outings! Tastefully embellished and including any accessories you might like, within reason. | Cost: 300 Brass



Lavish | A couture outfit indicative of impressive spending, typically intended for formal events. If someone were to wear something like this on the average day, that person is either ridiculously wealthy or terribly gauche. Expensive fabric, fancy embellishments, and bold accessories, none of which are suitable for working in. | Cost: 500 Brass

Custom | Perhaps you’d like something much more specific that doesn’t really fall into the typical fashion of Pumpkin Hollow. The tailor may be able to replicate it for you! Put in a special purchase request on the post below and you will receive a price estimate based on how complex it is, comparable to the existing categories, as well as an estimate of how much time it will take to complete your request.

[NEW!] Winter Coat | The weather outside is frightful! If you would like to get just a winter coat that isn't part of a full outfit, they will range between 100 and 300 Brass based on level of embellishment. Feel free to send a special purchase request for approval!

miscellaneous

In addition to the standard fare of essential shops, the streets are packed with unique shops of all kinds. They carry wares like tools, weapons, pets, mounts, jewelry, trinkets, and more!

For now, please submit a special purchase request to the comment below for any miscellaneous items. Prices for items that have been previously requested can be found in this buyer's guide. We'll add official listings for requested items as we determine them!

shady merchant

In a back alleyway of the commercial district there is an odd door beneath a tattered shop awning that is marked only with a red crescent moon symbol. Were it not for candlelight flickering through the dirty windows, one might assume it was abandoned. There is an "OPEN" sign dangling from the door knob.

The banner strapped to the desk on which the cash register sits reads "CALLOWAY'S CURIOS" in hand-painted letters. The shelves are stocked with all manner of odd-looking, mostly useless things alongside a few specimen jars. Many of them claim to be good luck talismans but they just look like junk. However, there are a few things worth looking at here.

UPDATE 1/20/2026: Calloway's Curios, as the shop in the alley, at first, seems to be closed - however, according to a note pinned to the door, he's moved locations!


The shop restocks often, and the merchant adds new items to his lineup every time he finds something "mysterious and otherworldly" that he thinks might be valuable. If you have anything in mind you'd like Mr. Calloway to keep an eye out for, please make a special purchase request over at the bank! For past items, please see the log of sold items. (Note that you absolutely can buy items for other people or items other players have requested, but we provide notes on who asked for what so that there can be a conversation about it beforehand!)

player owned

As new residents establish themselves here in Pumpkin Hollow, they've opened up new businesses! Shops can be run by Artisans and Physicians out of their home-workspaces or by Entrepreneurs who pay to open up new businesses such as restaurants, inns, theatres, or other custom establishments. Some other circumstances can allow characters to open businesses. Here are all the current businesses owned by otherworldly immigrants to Marrow Isle.

Infernal Arms & Armor | A blacksmith's forge owned by River la Croix, predominantly focused on combat gear. She can also provide enchantment services. She has two apprentices by the names of Ashwood and Sulana, both local elves.

Pinhole Printing and Binding | A printing press and book binding shop owned by Gerard Keay. He can print manuscripts into proper books or make copies of existing books, bind blank reams of paper into journals, and more! Additionally he prints the Pumpkin Hollow Gazette and supplies the newsstands in Downtown Hollow.

Blackberry Apothecary | A drug store owned by Sally Boyle. She makes all of her medicines with local plants and has an impressive knowledge of herbalism and chemistry. Additionally, her shop carries first aid supplies and "recreational" substances.

Various Medical Establishments | Several medical clinics have become available via newly-arrived doctors. Marrow Isle Health and Wellness is still currently owned by local physician Dr. Agnes Winterbottom but is slated to be taken over by Chris Freeman. The Finest Kind Clinic is owned by Dr. Hawkeye Pierce and occasionally doubles as a bar (a very unique approach to medicine, indeed). The Office of Dr. John H. Watson, M.D. is precisely what it says on the tin. First Aid, an "automaton" who can transform into an amazing self-driving ambulance carriage, is capable of transporting patience to any of these establishments in the event of an emergency.

Mipha's Grace | While not technically a shop, this fishing vessel owned and captained by Princess Zelda is the source of a fair amount of the island's seafood and is responsible for harvesting seaweed from the seaweed garden established by Jean. Several residents --- Jon Sims, Pomni, and Bart Torgal --- work aboard the ship. A seafood stall run by members of the crew can frequently be seen in the market district.

Velvet, Ambrosia, and Silk | A brothel run by Hikiishi Magne . In addition to erotic services the brothel offers singing and music, gaming tables, space for symposiums on topics related to gender and sexuality, and the services of noted chef Max Maximum. A magical barrier over the door bars entry to everyone under the age of eighteen.

St Arden-Sul Surgery/Butterfly's Fang Salon | A cosmetic surgery/tattoo parlor run by Sheogorath/Theodore Gorlash, offering cosmetic alterations both mundane and magical!

Hitchcock's Textiles | Owned and operated by Cal "Okie" Hitchcock III, this shop offers crafting supplies such as fabric, yarn, needles, thread, and unspun cotton, as well as a selection of fine blankets, socks, quilts and scarves. A perfect stop on any adventurer's quest for maximum coziness!

Because the only way for residents to officially make money is via Activity Bonuses, all transactions made at player-owned shops will have the expenses handwaved. As a courtesy, if you obtain items or services from the shops in question, the best way to pay them is by threading with them long enough to obtain an Activity Bonus.
