Bazaar Between Time

The Bazaar Between Time is a Hidden Realm Environment that can be accessed by entering a Blue Portal that appears next to the Teleporter.

The portal can spawn in two ways: Regardless of the method the portal opens, the text "A blue orb appears" will notify players a portal will spawn once the teleporter event is completed.
 * 1) Spending a lunar coin at a newt altar.
 * 2) Having it spawn naturally on stage creation. There's an initial 25% chance for a stage to spawn a portal. This chance gets lower and lower as more portals are spawned through either method.

This stage serves as the shop in Risk of Rain 2. You can purchase various items with Lunar Coins or exchange items for better ones in the two crucibles. The time and difficulty-meter progress while the player is still in this map.

Goods
The Merchant offers a random selection of Lunar, uncommon and legendary items. Lunar items can only be purchased once. However, the Uncommon and Legendary trade-in crucibles can be activated an unlimited amount of times, provided the player has the requisite amount of items to trade in. The trade-in crucibles can spawn any items from the uncommon or legendary pool, provided that, if in singleplayer, the player has previously obtained or cleared the requisite item's challenge, or if in multiplayer, that someone in the party has previously obtained or cleared the requisite item's challenge.
 * Possible Lunar Item Spawns:
 * Shaped Glass
 * Brittle Crown
 * Transcendence
 * Corpsebloom
 * Gesture of the Drowned
 * Glowing Meteorite
 * Helfire Tincture
 * Effigy of Grief

Right beside the Merchant is a crystal holding the Artificer inside. This crystal only appears on players side if they have not unlocked the character. For 10 Lunar Coins, you can unlock the character and the achievement "Pause."

The Merchant
The Merchant watches the player in the shop. It can be attacked, but if the player cannot kill the Merchant in time, they will be teleported to the portal area, and the shop will be sealed close. The Merchant has scaling hp based on game difficulty. Currently, killing the shopkeeper does not affect the game, and the Merchant will be in the shop the next time it is summoned.

Environment Log
The Environmental Log Entry can be found between two support arcs far below the Blue Portal platform and can be accessed by jumping down the rift and landing on the support arcs.

Portal Spawn Chance Math
The chance for a blue portal to spawn in a stage is 0.25/(blue portals opened + 1).
