O'AKA XXII, MERCHANT
EXTRAORDINAIRE
When the characters board the S.S. Liki bound for Kilika, there is an interesting character hanging out below the deck. Although,
he calls himself a merchant, he doesn't have anything to sell at this point. Even worse, he wants to borrow Gil from you!
Consider a loan to O'ala as in invstment. The secret is that O'aka will eventually become the best merchant in all of Spira.
When you talk to O'aka at specific points in the game, you can loan Gil to him. O'aka will begin to sell items after you loan
him Gil. All you need to do is invest 1 Gil to get things started.
As indicated in the table below, an investment of 10,001 Gil will get you discounted prices. However, to receive cheaper prices,
you need to shop so that the purchase total +10,001 Gil is less than the total when purchased goods are shifted to standard price.
The specific purchase total at which this condition is satisfied is anywhere above 23,336 Gil. Therefore, if you're not going to
invest very much in O'aka's bussiness and you still plan to shop at other places, then you're better off not investing at all.
You can loan O'aka Gil at the following locations:
-S.S. Liki
-SS. Winno
-Dock 1, Luca
-Mi'ihen Highroad (outside gates of Mushroom Rock)
Thereafter, O'aka's equipment prices finally drop when you encounter him next on Mushroom Rock Road before the combined
effort against Sin.
