 Though totally optional, the Phantom Marketplace is still a fairly lucrative place to go for players that are interested in exchanging various items. These trades vary wildly in quality, so it's recommended that the player is careful for which ones they go after and which ones they avoid.
-* '''Eyeball-Stone for Morning Glory:''' Not recommended. The Morning Glory is only useful in [[Chi-fang]], and its use in trade is for the readily available, already renewable [[Peach]].
+* '''Eyeball-Stone for Morning Glory:''' Not recommended. The Morning Glory is only useful in [[Chi-fang]] and [[Pu-ryao]], and its use in trade is for the readily available, already renewable [[Peach]]; however, if the player does not intend to trade for a Hitogata, it may be worth it collecting the Morning Glory as a freebie since it has a use outside the Phantom Marketplace, unlike the Wind Chime.
-* '''Eyeball-Stone for Wind Chime:''' Recommended. While also only rarely useful, it is good for avoiding [[San-a-mong]] at the [[Tong-nou (Central Mountain)|Central Mountain]] and can be traded for a replacement [[Amulet]] (though this is much more dubious in its value).
+* '''Eyeball-Stone for Wind Chime:''' Not recommended. The only practical use for this item is to trade it and an Eyeball-Stone for a replacement [[Amulet]], which is a very dubious trade already.
-* '''Bottle Gourd for Koma:''' Recommended. The Bottle Gourd has no purpose outside of bartering, so using it to get the Koma is very much worth it if the player is interested.
+* '''Bottle Gourd for Koma:''' Recommended. The Bottle Gourd has no purpose outside of bartering, so using it to get the Koma is very much worth it if the player goes out of their way for it.
 * '''Hitogata for Tong-Nou Illustrated Book:''' Not recommended. The Hitogata is way too rare.
 * '''Amulet for Tong-Nou Illustrated Book:''' Recommended. If the player does not intend to deliberately waste their Amulet for the sake of getting Rin killed for the first time, this can be a useful trade to offload it while also getting the Book. Since the book is easy to acquire in the tunnel to the Land of Time [[Shi-chieng]], however, this may not be available to you depending on what you did first before heading here.
 * '''Peach for Tong-Nou Illustrated Book:''' Not recommended. The Peach is far too out of the way for it to be worthwhile over either exchanging your starting Amulet or simply obtaining it from the chest in the entrance to Shi-chieng.
-* '''Eyeball-Stone and Koma for Hitogata:''' Recommended. The Hitogata has even more use than the Koma does, and is the most expensive item that Mai-chiu offers.
+* '''Eyeball-Stone and Koma for Hitogata:''' Recommended. The Hitogata has more use than the Koma does, is a direct upgrade from the Amulet with additional functionality, and is the most expensive item that Mai-chiu offers.
-* '''Eyeball-Stone and Wind Chime for Amulet:''' Not recommended. Exchanging what is effectively 2 Eyeball-Stones for yet another Amulet is not generally worth it, especially since the Amulet is usually more detrimental than actually helpful. Should the player want another Amulet for another reason, they would likely either want the Hitogata, or would be better off going for the other trade.
