Alchemist: The Potion Monger News

[h3]Hello Alchemists!
We present the next Alchemist: The Potion Monger heavy bug-fixing update! It contains a slight rework of the player market stall and a new skill to highlight it.
Welcome Patch #8 - Know your Customer and destroy bugs![/h3]
Thanks for reporting that many bugs (as always especially to @Waffles from our Discord), this won't be possible by ourselves.
Take a look at the update:

[h3]HIGHLIGHTS[/h3]
[h3]Know your Customer![/h3]


We have reworked a player stall potion selling system by adding the new skill - Know your Customer. After completing its related task, it allows you to see what prices for what potion are appropriate based on the color scheme. Light Green - very easy to sell, to Dark Red - very hard to sell.
Visit the fellow brew seller - the Bartender to learn more!



All the trade-related skills and potions have been reworked to work with the new system, which means they no longer grant you bonus gold but increase the probability of buying for your set price instead!
The context menu now properly shows moving whole stacks to the counter.
