Celesmeh 0 Posted November 18, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Alchemists fall into this strange place of, we make expensive stuff, but not many people buy them. So as an alchemist I want to know, what would you like me to make? waht are some ideas for things you need, potions/crystals, that i could make for you? What would draw you into my shop?

Ethereal 0 Posted November 18, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I concur, as an alchemist you don't get near as many customers as say - a blacksmith. However, I think this is due to the ability to buy low-level health potions on-demand from a merchant. People just bulk buy them and have their character carry as many as they want. Since it's instantaneous, they don't need to go to the trouble of going to an alchemists, paying a lot and waiting until their potion is brewed.. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

I guess thats why I made this, how can i make it as that we can compete against merchants? Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

Draterion 0 Posted December 3, 2014 #5 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Don't listen to orhlami, I believe he is a merchant! :p . what you need to do is...make tons of potions in your free time. Eventually, you'll have a lot in stock if no one comes. Then you put a sign by your shop that says HUGE SALE going on, people will come to you. And if your selling a antidote potion and healing potion combined, cheaper than buying both from a merchant, there bound to buy it. Hopefully! :) -Draterion Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raijin 0 Posted December 3, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm more worried as I just started and I'm not overly rich at the moment... would you give discounts or offer fairer prices per potion than normal merchants/PC merchants? Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

The alchemist can make a lot, sell cheaper and make more money. merchant = poor Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
