I think there should definitely be a distinction between what you can get in cities and towns, for example:

[B]Towns[/B]
- Bakery/shop for purchasing health reviving items (non magical)
- Weaponsmith for purchasing basic resources and basic weapons (non enchanted)
- Apothecary for purchasing health reviving items (magical) and also low level potions
- Inn for resting (cost involved)

[B]Cities[/B]
All town shops +
- Master weaponsmith for rarer resources and more specialized weapons
- Alchemists lab for strong enchantments, potions and wards
- City hall for purchasing real estate (either businesses or residential)
- Academy to buy scrolls and tomes
