How to increase Store Affinity levels in Stellar Blade
Increasing Store Affinity is key when playing Stellar Blade since you'll unlock new vendor items and even collectables with each level.
However, there's only one way to do it. That's along with a crucial fact the game doesn't tell you about.
How to increase Store Affinity levels
In Stellar Blade, you'll increase your Store Affinity with each merchant by buying items from their shop. As you keep making purchases, your Affinity will eventually grow to Level 2 and then Level 3 to unlock new items with each.
For example, Roxanne, the merchant you meet by the Bulletin Board, has five of Stellar Blade's Nano Suit outfits locked behind her later Affinity levels.
Meanwhile, Kaya, the vendor at Sister's Junk, will stock new earrings to customise EVE with once you reach Levels 2 and 3.
However, you'll need to buy more expensive items to increase Store Affinity fast in Stellar Blade. For instance, you'll gain far more by purchasing a WB Pump (1500 Gold) or Shield Penetration Gear (3 Vitcoin) at Sister's Junk than something cheap like Polymer Material for 10 Gold each.
So, to max Store Affinity Levels as quickly as possible, you'll need to keep farming Gold by killing Naytiba and smashing open crates and supply boxes wherever you go.
