Does anyone know if the Gelert Healing Remedy restocks and if so, what shop is it sold in? Thanks!

(edited for typos)

I would imagine Defense Magic.

Defense Magic, but I don't know why you would want to restock one. They sell for 40k and cost 120k.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I was thinking Defense Magic too, but I have never seen one restock there? Given the generally low price of GHR though it most restock somewhat regularly somewhere, no?

defense magic, but why would you want to know? It stocks for around 120k and sells for around 40k

Just curious really. I was wondering what might happen to the price if someone were to buy up 100 or so GHRs out there in the shops. Probably not enough Gelerts without the healer to push the price up enough before newly restocked ones brought it back down again. But, as it restocks for 120k, there would seem to be some room to push prices up a bit -- if one had the nps.

if munsterpoo got bored I suppose. Don't expect it to be inflating much unless it retires

Causing inflation in a case like this would be too difficult, especially with the low demand. (Though it does make me wonder: how did the price get so low in the first place?) I saw at least a couple of the Gelert Healing Remedies restock when I spent two weeks in Defense Magic, but there's a problem with that Shop (moreso than several other shops): when a shop's inventory has 24 different items, it ceases to restock. This causes Defense Magic to be a slower shop than most others (and has a direct correlation with the lack of Defense Magic r99's in the economy). Technically this aspect would help the inflation on the Remedies if you decided to hoard them, but don't count on profiting from it.

Thanks for the insight into the workings of the Defense Magic Shop. I didn't know about the effect of "24".

I wondered too why the price for the GHR is so low. Of the 3 cheapest species healers (GHR, Elephante Unguent & Kacheek Life Potion) the GHR costs around 50% less than the other two. The KLP appears to be a bit trickier to use given the need to time usage to maximize the heal, but it looks like it can give you a full heal at least some of the time. If you then look at the EU, it looks like it can sometimes give you a full heal too. Maybe the possibility of a full heal with the KLP or the EU makes them more popular than the GHR as it only ever gives 50%??? It may be that the KLP and the EU don't actually do a full heal (?), but looking at it as an inexperienced user of the 3 healers, that was how it seemed. I think that is what at least some potential buyers might think anyway.
I looked at some other species healers (Blumaroo Health Potion, Bag of Lenny Healing Seeds, Healing Ankh of the Nimmo, Squishy Shoyru Healing Stone and the Lucky Uni Charm) but they all seemed vastly more costly (although I couldn't actually find prices for several of them).

GHR and EU are both r96 while KLP is r92
KLP is more expensive, probably because it gives a chance of a better heal on stronger pets
the only 2 logical reasons I could think of to explain why EU is more expensive is because:
-Gelert Trans didn't exist until recently, making it harder to morph your pet into a gelert (r99 gelert MPs were expensive, r101 elephante trans were cheap)
-Elephantes have a 20% physical resistance, which might make them better battle pets
