Hmm.., you raise some interesting questions. Well, since you can technically go to the BBI as soon as you are free to roam Cassardis ( as a friend who recently just started a brand new game(meaning: not NG+) can attest to), Barroch's inventory does not really seem that silly, but that's not really the point we are having a discourse on. :P Btw, I went to BBI after stage 4, and he still sells the same basic items, so I have no idea whether or not his "basic stocks" changes to reflect main story progression.

As for me personally, the only thing that can be deemed significant, is the fact that I made it to the Arisen's Refuge. Meaning:  I defeated Dark Bishop, progressed through Corridor of the Hallowed (meeting Barroch, and talking to him), opened the short cut, came back and farther proceeded through to Rotwood Depository, The Forgotten Hall, The Bloodless Stockade, and finally Arisen's Refuge. After that I picked up An Accursed Errand and finishes it right there because I already have the horns. Afterwards, I just happened to check his inventory to stock up on meds, and he has a brand new inventory.

I have also talked to him numerous times in both of the Corridors, exhausted his dialogue options every time I passed through when I was trying to DF my gear before progressing farther.

As for your theory presented above, that throws my memory into farther disarray, since I seem to recall having a pair of Silk tights before defeating Gazer due to the fact that I was purifying my first armor before the fight. I distinctly remembering being mad at the shop window for not displaying the price of the item for the Silk tights (due to the fact that I bought it a while ago and he hasn't replenish his stock yet), and I could only get the price for the Patterned Gambeson. I remember this because the first cursed Armor lvl. 1 item I purified was the Patterned Gambeson and Silk Tights combo.

Anyway, has it been confirmed that he will always be in The Warrior's Respite even after you meet him in Arisen's Refuge(?), because I went back a few times and he is always there. I am wondering, (this is just me thinking out loud) if the fact that every time I "progressed" through BBI and he has something new to say, I always listened to him and exhausted his dialogue, matters in this context. It feels like a lot of players rushed through BBI and killed Daimon before even finishing most of the board quests, and it "seems" (I can't confirm that) that those are the players who did not get the shop update. He does say something different occasionally if one go back and forth between the 2 different Corridors. Maybe one "has to" talk to him after one's progression throughout BBI? You know, to trigger the flag?

Well, the mystery continues. :P
