[h2]Merchants and Pantry[/h2][hr][/hr]
Whatever the season or the time of the day, you'll always find a merchant ready to sell you things in front of your abbey! Those merchants will allows you to buy ingredients for your brewing activities. By taking advantage of the seasonal costs and random sales, you'll be able to get many ingredients for a reduced cost!

After unlocking bartering, your monks will be able to negociate in person for a better price on a batch of various ingredients.

Once you sealed the deal and took your ingredients, you'll need a place to stock them, that's where the pantry comes in...[hr][/hr]
The pantry is where you'll stock all of your ingredients after purchasing them! You'll be able to keep a stock by buying to the merchants but also gainnig ingredients through rewars for completing tasks, from trophies, or through certain research upgade!

It is by unlocking the pantry that the merchants begins to stop by. More room to fill means more florins to thrill.

Road to EA - The Abbot and the custodians

Hey everyone!
As we get closer, we're going to dive into some of the more important topics we haven't talked about yet!
We've talked about the seasons, we've already shown you some new beer styles, and now it's time to look at some new roles for your Monks in the game.

Today's Topic: The abbot and the custodians

[h2]Here comes new fermentines![/h2][hr][/hr]
[h3]The custodians[/h3]
As you know, someone has to clean up after all the mess that comes with being a brewer. In the demo, you were responsible for lighting the candles and picking up the broom. Now it is time to get someone else to do it for you and save your hard work for your beermaking!

Meet the custodians! They will be able to to all of the hard work in the Abbey so that the rest of your monkls work on the beer unbothered!

[h3]The Abbot[/h3]
Cleaning is nice, but you might also need someone to keep order in the workplace. For this, we have the head of the abbey (next to you, of course), the Abbot! When you unlock the Abbot during your session, you will receive a special bonus thanks to his presence! You can choose between two profiles with different bonuses in different themes.

Count on the abbot to teach some manners in your drunk monks and keep them fresh to work

That's it for today!
If you have any questions regarding the game, the release or the custodians and abbots, feel free to ask in the comments and we'll answer next time!
