Shopsanity Player 1 Class

Adds shop upgrades of this player's class to the item pool and enables items to appear in their shop All members of the same class will receive their upgrades together and will have the same items in their shops WARNING: there is normally not enough gold to purchase all upgrades. It is strongly recommended to reduce the costs of shop items so you will not have to grind excessively for gold! WARNING #2: there is no extra logic for shop upgrades! This means you could get into a situation where you are required to play much of your game with no upgrades. Consider making shop upgrades local if you're playing in a larger multiworld
