Shopkeepers are the NPCs who sell items for mesos. They are the main sink for a character's money and the only reliable source of potions, ammunition, basic armour and most upgrade scrolls.
Shops specialise. A weapon seller stocks one branch's weapons, an armour seller stocks the slot pieces for a level band, a grocer stocks potions and food, and a scroll seller stocks upgrade scrolls. A town's set of shops is a fair proxy for the level band it serves.
Buying is only half of it. Shopkeepers also buy, at a fraction of an item's value, which is how most junk drops turn into mesos. The sell price shown on an item's page is what a shopkeeper pays for it, not what it costs to buy.
