Potion Craft: Potions for Customers

You can use ‘ctrl-f’ and enter the start of the dialogue to find a particular entry.

Working out what potions to give your customers can be a lot of fun. For someone as obsessive as me, it can also be very frustrating trying to work out every valid option for every customer request before they storm out of your shop. I made this guide to both help others work out this charming game, and hopefully have others point out the things I’ve missed.

If you see an error, or find an omission, please let me know. There are many requests I haven’t seen since before I starting recording them, and there are likely many more I haven’t come across at all. Any help is welcome.

The guide is currently not at all organised. Later, I will move all the ‘simple’ requests with only one valid effect to the bottom of the list. I doubt I will get any further than that.

The format used in this guide looks something like this example.

Passing over the obvious, the bracketed numerals in Valid Effects are showing the most valuable valid potion for the request. They are only there if there is more than one effect listed. Rarely, the valid effects do not combine nicely, so do take a look before you go potion-making in case you end up with nasty side effects. (Who would make such a silly mistake anyway, cough cough)

Reputation loss is listed if the request gives it. If it is not listed, it can be assumed that it gives +3 Reputation.

All requests seem to give either +2 or +3 Popularity, but these are not listed to avoid further bloating this guide.

Happy potion crafting!
