Mercenary Shop
The different Mercenary Shops are available by talking to Elusive Shuan in Steppe Vista or Lloyd the Redoubtable in Barrow of Sadness / Phinko the Sage in Lost Wastelands or Bloodthirsty Kyew in Ridge of Darkness. It does not matter for which faction you have the reputation, you can buy items for which you have enough reputation in both shops. The only thing that can only be bought in the respective store are the Mage's Amulet of Reflection.
For a guide on the reputation there is the Mercenary Reputation Guide.
