Previously, the party began exploring the stonemasons' town of Arcadia. They visited the Kranbartle family, who gave them the Stone Sword, the key to Rydon's Tower to the east. The party also Zoomed to Princess Minnie's Castle to get the Meteorite Bracer, the prize for 60 Mini Medals. Now, they will wrap up their exploration of the town.

In the house near the entrance of town, a barrel by the sink in the entryway contains a bottle of Fresh Milk (time 0:26). The neighboring barrel contains a bag of Rennet Powder.

In the main room of the house, a bookshelf contains the Summer issue of the magazine 'We Love Our Weapons' (time 0:45). It teaches the recipe Zombie Slayer = Zombiesbane + Holy Talisman.

The neighboring bookshelf contains a note titled 'Ideas' (time 1:22). This is new to the 3DS version. It teaches the recipe Kunoichi Headband = Iron Headgear + Mercury's Bandana. I learned from watching Veteran0121's Let's Play that making and selling Kunoichi Headbands in bulk is an excellent way of making money.

A barrel next to this bookcase contains some Dragon's Dung (time 2:02).

A wardrobe contains a Gold Bracer (time 2:12).

The party next checks the house below the church's courtyard.

In the woman's workshop, a barrel contains some Rock Salt (time 3:34). The neighboring bookshelf contains the Autumn issue of the magazine 'We Love Our Weapons'. It teaches the recipe Über War Hammer = War Hammer + Mighty Armlet.

The lane south of the woman stonemason's house leads to two doors, similarly to the lane south of the Kranbartles' house. The party first takes the door on the right.

In the kitchen past the workshop on the main floor, a barrel contains a Cowpat (time 5:52). The neighboring pot contains Mini Medal #061.

A bookshelf in the kitchen contains the handwritten novel 'The Witch in the Woods' (time 6:18). I believe this is new to the 3DS version, too. It teaches the recipe Hexlet's Skirt = Magical Skirt + Imp Knife + Mystifying Mixture.

The neighboring bookshelf contains the book 'Dark Temptation' (time 7:23). It teaches the recipe Fallen Angel Rapier = Holy Silver Rapier + Devil's Tail + Wing of Bat.

On the lower level, a bookshelf in the first bedroom contains the book 'The Overlord of the Rings' (time 8:18). It teaches the recipe Catholicon Ring = Full Moon Ring + Ring of Truth + Ring of Immunity. A desirable ring to protect against a variety of status ailments.

In the second bedroom on the lower level, a wardrobe contains a Bunny Tail (time 9:22).

A bookshelf in the second bedroom contains a diary of a craftsman (time 9:31). It sounds like a familiar character has come to Arcadia to try his hand at stonemasonry. Goddess preserve us.

Next, the party checks the house directly across from the woman stonemason's house. The resident has a tale about Rydon Kranbartle.

One of the bookshelves contains the book 'Aeromancy: Magic of the Air' (time 11:58). It teaches the recipe for the Hermes' Hat, but the party has already made one. Hermes' Hat = Feathered Cap + Mercury's Bandana.

The next bookshelf down contains the book 'The Dark Mass' (time 12:44). It teaches the recipe Dark Robe = Cloak of Evasion + Devil's Tail + Wing of Bat.

The nearby wardrobe contains a Poison Moth Knife (time 13:28).

A pot by the sink contains a bag of Rennet Powder (time 13:38).

Underneath the stairway, there is a Golden Slime (time 13:57). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 108: "Arcadia Golden Slime".

Another bookshelf contains the book 'Armour Planning' (time 14:32). It teaches the recipe Dancer's Mail = Silver Mail + Dancer's Costume and the recipe Spiked Armour = Magic Armour + Edged Boomerang.

The item shop is located right behind the church. It sells Rockbomb Shards at 450 gold apiece.

A barrel near the item shop entrance contains 26 gold (time 16:15).

In the back room, a pesky Ultimate Key door is securing three chests. The merchant has a harrowing tale about Master Dominico and Sir Leopold.

The party checks the equipment shop building on the top level of town.

In the weapon shop's back room, a barrel contains some Rock Salt (time 18:38).

At the weapon shop, the party gets Davilas the Swallowtail boomerang for 6,800 gold (time 19:37).

The armour shop has the Magic Bikini available for 13,800 gold. The price is steep, but it will be good when the party has a character that can equip it.

The description is continued in the comments.
