Secret Shops of Skyloft

There are three secret shops in Skyloft that you can only visit at night. Two are useful for making money and one is invaluable if you need treasures and have some Rupees burning a hole in your wallet.

Here’s a guide to taking advantage of the secret shops of Skyloft.

Rupin’s Night Shop

Rupin runs the Gear Shop in Skyloft by day. By night, you can visit his home to sell spare treasures you’ve acquired. Rupin buys only four treasureseach night. Which four treasures he selects is entirely random.

You can change Rupin’s selection by repeatedly sleeping in a bed until nighttime. There’s even a bed in Rupin’s house you can use for this purpose. You can make a lot of money by sleeping until Rupin decides that he wants Jelly Blobs or Amber Relics.

Strich’s Night Shop

Your classmate Strich runs a bug-buying business out of his dorm room at night. He buys three randomly selected species of bugs every night. As with Rupin’s random selections, you can force Strich’s list to change by repeatedly sleeping until nighttime.

It’s worth checking in with Strich regularly, since you can make a lot of money if you happen to have a lot of Sand Cicadas or Faron Grasshoppers on hand when he wants to buy them.

The Moonlight Merchant

Enter the waterfall cave in Skyloft at night. Look for three Blessed Butterflies flying about, as they would over a Gossip Stone. Play your harp. Instead of a Gossip Stone, you summon the Moonlight Merchant, a devious stone that sells rare treasures acquired on the black market.

His prices are high, but much of what he offers is much easier to buy than find yourself.
