Oooh, now the lack of a 'Dragon's Dogma content' stock update by Stage 4 in the main game surprises me; I would've expected to see the typical Stage 4 stuff there (Tight Cinquedea etc), so it appears that that side of his inventory doesn't update then, and that it is focused on those new players who decide to journey to BBI immediately. That's strong enough evidence to confirm that the 'second note' is unnecessary, so I'll remove that; at least we can now focus on the more prominent stock updates then haha.

Very interesting to hear that the second stock update happened when you reached the Arisen's refuge. If it was following the 'Stage' format, I would've expected the defeat of the Dark Bishop to 'complete stage 2' (with that being the end of the 'middle level' I presume, with it then allowing you to return to the surface etc), but that would then mean the stock update happening on meeting Barroch in the Corridor of the Hallowed, which wasn't the case. The first stock update happening before the Gazer also not correlating with that theory - I think I'd best edit the Items Sold section to make it much more open for alternative explanations xD

Talking to Barroch enough times to get specific dialogue, or merely even meeting in specific locations at specific times could indeed function as a potential stock update explanation. I've not yet reached The Arisen's Refuge, so can't comment on that point (really want to get playing, but have been unable to today and same goes for tomorrow...). For me, he has always been located at The Warriors' Respite so far - he was at Duskmoon Tower up until I first spoke to him in the Corridor of Emptiness, though he disappeared from there as soon as I left it, so The Warriors' Respite is currently the only place I can find him.

Cheers for reporting on all of these findings/experiences by the way! It my seem like a complete mystery at current, but it's good to stay open to various explanations, and everything added here helps to confirm (or not) different ideas. We'll get there haha!
