-Shops have a base {{frac|3|[[Dungeon level|DL]]}} chance of being created on any dungeon level between level 2 and [[Medusa's Island]] inclusively, with the exception of the [[Oracle (level)|Oracle level]]. The creation of a shop assumes there is a suitable room to put them in (i.e., the room has no [[stair]]s and only one [[door]]) and that there are enough rooms on the level to start with: the minimum number of rooms required is 3 for normal dungeon levels, and 4 for a branch level. In theory, this means that there will always be a shop on each of levels 2 and 3 if the conditions are right&mdash;in practice, a shop will only occur on both floors about 45% of the time).

This means that while the base chance of a shop on level 2 or level 3 is 100%, in practice a shop will only occur on said level about 45% of the time.
 With the exception of bones and [[Orcus-town]], shops are never generated abandoned, and are never restocked under any circumstances&mdash;the only way they can gain more items is if they are sold items by the hero, if a [[monster]] is killed in the shop (which causes their inventory to become the shop's property), or if the hero is killed in the shop or by its shopkeeper (which ''also'' causes their inventory to become the shop's property).

 * Be sure #chat to a shopkeeper before picking up certain items directly.
 * Always carry a few hundred spare zorkmids to cover any accidental charges you incur. In a worst-case scenario where you cannot avoid incurring damages, you may need to sell some additional items in your inventory - depending on your situation, this may be preferable to being branded a thief or dying.

+* Before entering a shop, quaff a non-cursed [[potion of object detection]]. You may notice suspicious blank squares if you have not yet seen the contents of the shop&mdash;those are likely to be mimics.
 * "Obvious" out-of-place objects are often mimics, especially in specialized shops (e.g., a long sword in a potion shop, or down staircase in any shop). However, this does not work as well for general stores (which sell almost anything) and [[bones]] files (which may have the inventory of the dead player - although you may encounter signs of this beforehand).
 * If you are playing with default tiles or standard ASCII, you can also discern mimics by their glyphs - they will appear as "strange objects", and the tiles for strange objects are chests with eyes peering out of them ([[image:strange object.png]]/{{monsym|strange object}} versus [[image:chest.png]]/{{brown|(}}). Additionally, their glyph is usually the mirror of the glyph for [[armor]] ({{cyan|[}}) - the only time {{white|]}} is used for anything else is for actual armor on the [[Rogue level]].
 * [[Telepathy]] and [[warning]] will reveal mimics and/or their locations.
 * The [[ring of protection from shape changers]] will force mimics into their standard form.
-* Any form of [[monster detection]] can reveal mimics - note that a non-blessed [[potion of monster detection]] or a {{spell of|detect monsters}} spell cast at lower than Skilled level only reveals their current location, while detection from a blessed potion or Skilled (or better) spell passively remains active.

 * A safe and surefire way to uncloak mimics inside a shop is to throw a single gold piece across each row of the store - this does not use up valuable projectiles and will only establish credit. Be careful not to hit and possibly anger the shopkeeper!
 * [[Search]] before walking onto an item to uncover any mimics - this will prevent you bumping into them, as the larger ones are sticky.
