DQVC
DQVC is an online shopping network available through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in Dragon Quest IX. To use it the player must advance the story sufficently that the NPC Sellma appears in Quester's Rest in Stornway. The service not only carries items, but extra quests and treasure maps. Since September 2011, connecting to DQVC will download any unavailable bonus quest to the player's cart, as Dragon Quest IX has been out for over a year in all the areas where it has been released.
There was an interruption of the DQVC service in North America between June 8, 2012 and June 26, 2012.
Availability
DQVC becomes available after the player lands at Alltrades Abbey after having returned to the Observatory for the first time since falling to Angel Falls.
Connecting to DQVC
Selma will ask the player if he/she wants to connect to DQVC to update the content. An update is required to start the service, but thereafter the player may choose to shop DQVC without an update. If the DQVC is not updated, then the items for sale will be the same as what was available from the last update, less any that were purchased by the player or any visitors.
Weekly Sales and Fayres
New items and quests are available every day at 8:00 AM GMT; any previous quests not downloaded will be downloaded as well. The items for sale are generally different for each player, but generally will follow a weekly theme, as shown in the table below.
The theme of the daily items changes on a weekly basis; while some items are available only with a certain theme (e.g. during a "Seduction Sale" week, the shop will stock feminine-themed cosplay items such as the dangerous bustier, jaguarment, and maid outfit), items such as medicinal herbs, Alchemy ingredients, and birthday cakes can show up at almost any time.
Some items may return in future stocks.
