Quick Links
It’s far from uncommon to see a weapons trader in a Persona title, and is no exception to this pattern with the woman who runs Shinshoudo Antiques at Paulownia Mall. Once the store opens partway into the story, you can begin visiting to have her forge weapons for you, or trade you skill cards or items in exchange for dungeon ﷽loot.
But between knowing which Perso🅠nas to fuse or which skill cards to buy, Shinshoudo Antiques requires some foresight and planning. For everything you need to know about the Antiques shop in P3P, we’ve got you covered.
This guide contains slight spoilers for eleme🤡nts of Persona 3 Portable
What And Where Is The Antique Shop?
When you first launch Persona 3 Portable and visit Paulownia Mall, you’ll see Shinshoudo Antiques directly to the right the stairs that lead to the karaoke bar. It has brown wooden signage featuring kanji symbols above the shopfront.
Shinshoudo Antiques doesn’t open until 6/9, which is the day after you battle the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Emperor and Empress Full Moon shadows. Afte🅺r this fight, the shop wil🐻l be open for the rest of the game.
The woman who owns the shop offers a few services once her business is up and running. She can:
- Forge unique and powerful weapons for you by fusing your Personas with base weapon drops from golden shadows.
-
Trade gems you collected in Tartarus for items you can’t get elsewhere:
- Skill cards
- Stat cards
- Battle items
- Gifts for social links
- Fusion spells for use in battle
She will not charge you in yen for her work or trades, but rather, she requires gems obtained throughout Tartaruꦐs for the 🔴bulk of her catalog.
How To Fuse Weapons Using Your Personas
One of the primary draws of the Antiques shop in P3P is the ability to fuse your Personas into powerful weaponry.
While all Personas can be fused with all kinds of Nihil/Void weapons obtained from golden hand shadows in Tartarus, the level of ꦿthe Persona is directly proportional to the resulting weapon.
And though most Personas will fuse into general weapons, certain Personas fuse into special weapons.
These are often reminiscent of the mythology from which the Personas are derived.
Weapons fused with specific Personas will always have a stat boost or additional effect to them. When you’re setting up a fusion with one of these Personas, the Nihil or Void weapon type doesn’t matter.🍌 If a certain Pers𒁏ona is used, the result will always be the same.
Other, more general weaponry can be made by forging any other Persona into a Nihil weapon. The resulting weapon will be more powerful, the higher the level of the Persona us🌟ed in i🧸ts fusion.
Each weapon you ask the owner of the shop to forge, regardless of its strength or specialty, will take two days to make.
Weapons Forged From Mythological Personas
Below is a table featuring all the special weapons that are made when giving the owner of the shop specific Personas.
These will often be the one of the strongest, if not the ultimate Persona of that specific arcana, so some may take you a while to obtain.

All Other Persona Fusion Weapons And Effects, By Arcana
Outside the specific Personas we mentioned above, most Personas that you fuse into weapons will offer power based on both their level and arcana.
Most of the major arcana from Persona 3 Portable will impart a different effect, depending entirely on their arcana. However, each arcana has a set additional effect that can only 🉐be altered by using a Persona of a different arcana in your fusion.
The odds of successfully afflicting bonus ailments or how much bonus HP is received is then decided upon by the level of the Persona, with higher-level Personas offering better additio🐈nal e🔯ffects.
The Fool arcana, however, imbues a specific effect to each Persona, which we'll detail below.

Skill Cards: Teach Your Personas New Skills
Here, we’ve got a full table of all the cards for which you can trade your gems from Tartarus, both skill and stat. You can trade for them in the "Trade for Card" menu.
Skill cards are given to your Personas to teach them the battle skill matching the name of the card, which they may not have bee♍n able to learn other💞wise.
Since the game doesn’t take actual elemental ability into account with these cards, you can give any Persona any card, and they’ll be able to learn that skill.
These cards can be a great way to cover gaps in your elemental coverage if you have any!
