Reason to add/change

I think it’d be nice if we could buy certain ingredients for potions instead of having to sail across the map for them or just buy potions in general

Of course rare ingredients would be wayy more expensive and rare potions would cost even more

That would be good ONLY if they sold common and/or island specific ingredients, like clams, pinecones, bones etc., and on shell island glass pearls, for example. Rare ingredients are made to be rare, so you gotta look for them.

There are ways to implement a thing like this but I don’t think just having a shop selling potion items would be all that great.

A lot of ingredients are supposed to be rare and being able to get them from a shop is waaay too much. If it were just common tier 1 catalysts and reagents then maybe.

Don’t make a new NPC, just make the alchemist have a third shop. Not that this should be added but it shouldn’t be a whole new NPC.

That actually works as for finding the rare items it could be like finding a wandering merchant ship with an arcsphere so they’d basically sell it very rarely

then whats the point of foraging for them in the wild

unless theyre extremely overpriced, i dont think theres a reason why

why would you buy an orange for 2 galleons, when you can just find them near a tree to the east of Tiberia?

then the ‘normal’ ones will cost around 20 galleons and the expensive ones would cost around 200-1k galleons

theyre hard-to-obtain brewing ingredients, not food you can just pick up on the street

It’s just to remove some of the grind for foraging for common items while the rarer items will be sold rarely

some of the grind, but then people will just travel to different items to buy the brewing stuff from other brewing shop NPC’s or in a worse case, server hop

Finally somone talks abt this. As someone with only enough time to play for like 10-20 mins in one sitting I don’t have enough time to forage for potion ingredients so potions are like a feature I never use.

Tho rarer potion ingredients shouldn’t even be sold in shops tbh, regardless of the price. Just bc that wouldn’t make them worthwhile to look for.

Also some islands should have different potion ingredients, like I’ve heard of some sort of potion reagent found on sky islands so that can be sold only at Cirus Island (if it’s a rare find then it shouldn’t even be sold).

I agree with this bc the cauldron on most islands is literally found in front of the alchemist npc.

no dont be lazy

heres my 2 cents just make them only sell askew roots
nah i think that it should be that they can sell upto uncommon ingredients, and add a merchant ship that can sell the rarer ingredients
afterall, we can find a arcsphere if we get lucky in a merchant ship, so why not a random promethius acrimony if you really go out of your way to check every merchant ship

do it yourself

make a clan that sells alchemy stuff

that would require

  1. enough people willing to sell alchemy stuff
  2. enought people willing to sell alchemy stuff under a single brand
  3. people willing to spend time collecting the ingredients to even sell
