Actually I noted the opposite: you have to use Darx to deal the finishing blow for it to count. Searched in CE and mapped out all the various jobs, and they only increased by 1 whenever Darx dealt the finishing blow, other times it stayed static.

I can confirm these two points, I did a run with only 1 hired unit (Fairy), and encountered the succubus, slime, tifur, triclops, and ogre girl events. They seem to occur at certain story progression points, so it's either triggered by progress, or by reknown. Also confirm buying or hiring is not necessary to unlock inventory. In the same run, I bought only my initial set of equipment (4 items), and hired only 1 unit (Fairy as mentioned above). Sold lots of items while exploring dungeons, but all were unlocked and ID'ed via skill. I've now unlocked all the way up to vampiric dagger. This means unlocking inventory can only be triggered by story progression, reknown, or number of transactions (including selling). Based on this, and what I mentioned above, I think it's quite likely the number of transactions including selling that unlocks shop inventory.

I've never equipped it before, but I guess it'd be like any other cursed items. Go to Rakia's shop, and under Items, pay to destroy the cursed item. There is a skill to remove cursed items that you can learn, but I've never had any success with using it. Not that I needed to, the game just outright tells you it's not a good idea to equip it.

Fixed. Didn't realise that, was used to places like Gamefaqs forums with no tags supported, thanks for pointing that out. I've actually gotten more books from magic chests than dungeon chests only because I usually don't make it a point to search for chests (such a pain). That and the tiny inventory size is extremely annoying. There are a few things that I suspect could trigger the events like with Liz: - Completing dungeon master specific jobs (e.g. requests from Golan etc.). These aren't red jobs, but feel like they trigger things. - Hiring a monster unit to "unlock" event routes - Killing a specific monster type a number of time, just like defeating adventurers. However, it doesn't feel like that to me (just a feeling). I'm having a lot of difficulty unlocking adventurers. I've only gotten a warrior and a rogue, and that was some time ago. I've been mass-killing adventurers by repeating elimination jobs, but still no unlocks (just a few CGs).

Been playing this for a while myself, here are some things I've noticed/learnt about this game from playing (with quickfix 1.1): - You can meet Cass and Ayaka pretty much anywhere. I've met them on extermination/hunt/map/defend/scout missions, and in the dragon/demon dungeons as random yellow encounters. - Meeting and screwing Kateria, Slimia, Elizabeth, Maki and Liz seems to be linked to having the corresponding monster type in your party. Can't confirm with Juju, haven't met her yet. - You actually can get the XXX books from the magic chests from enemy drops. I've gotten black and blue books, but not red ones yet. - I suspect selling and/or hiring new units also contribute to unlocking stuff at Rakia's. Almost everytime I unlock something, it's after one of these two actions. Now for some questions: - What do acid traps do? - What are the conditions to unlock Rakia scenes? - How do I know if I've unlocked everything with Rakia? The latest unlock for me was Vampiric Dagger
