PotionEmpire - The Alchemist game

Arena

You can sign up a helper by paying a fee in Alquigems; this will not prevent him from carrying out the usual activities. You can only sign up an helper at a time with a maximum of 5 levels in fighting. When an helper reaches level 30 in fighting he/she will be automatically removed from the arena. When your helper leaves the arena, you will get as prize 1 champions vial for each victory. You can remove an helper from the arena using the button, only when you could start a fight and only if he/she has reached a minimum of 10 victories.

Consequences of victory/defeat: Both the winner and the opponent get levels in fighting, but the opponent also loses disposition. An helper will not resign because of disposition loss due to fights.

Fighting: When you start a fight an opponent will be choosen amond the available fighters, based on your helper's fighting skill. The helper will use his/her favourite tool as weapon. The attack of an helper is equal to:

Level of fighting + weapon + critical hit (1d8)

Some tools can be used as standard weapon. The others are to be considered Any.

Weapon	Damage	Critical
Any	1d4	4%
Knife	1d5	20%
Sickle	1d6	16%
Machete	1d7	12%
Small pickaxe	1d8	8%

Balance

Initially you can see only the general budget, but starting from level 4 of Shop you will also have a detailed budget. The temporary budget is reset every 7 days.

Bank

Every city has it's own bank, whose funds depends on the coffers of the city itself.

Request loan: When requesting a loan there are two types of creditor: the city and the alchemists. To request a loan to the city just click on the button Request loan and choose the amount and a time of restitution, while for alchemist's loans just select the one that best suits your needs in the private Loans. As you can see, private loans almost always have interest lower rates than those granted by the city.

Grant loan: Starting from level 5 of Shop you will be able to grant loans. When you grant a loan it will be available in that city until someone does accept the agreement or until you decide to cancel it, whichever condition occurs first. The bank does not accept granted loans from alchemists who have 5000 trilob or less.

Bank transfers: You can perform transfers with a minimum amount of 50 trilob, in favor of any alchemist. The bank does not accept transfers from those who have 5000 trilob or less, or from those who would reach that amount of trilob after the operation.

Consequences of an unpaid loan: Due payments will be notified by courier. In case you miss the payment, the value will be seized from (in this order) : trilobs, objects and infrastructures levels until it reaches, even partially, the due amount.

Budddies

The friends window allows you to select a circle of friends with which it will be easier to communicate. To invite a user to become your friend you just need to go to the courier and select the icon from the recipients list.
Private conversations:
Having a user in your own buddies list is the only way to privatly chat with him/her. When you have an unanswered conversation, a warning will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen. The warning will show up for 5 minutes.

Castle - Errands

The errands are a good way to get fame, money and rank. Depending on your Storage level the nobles of the castle will allow you to access the errands, which are divided into various levels of difficulty.

Errand level	Necessary storage level
1	5
2	10
3	15
4	20
5	25

Remember that castellans are quite picky and they expect you to fulfill all the required parameters, such as color, taste, effect and amount.

Mark an errand: From level 12 of Encyclopedia, you can take not of the interesting errands and see them in your encyclopedia. You can track a maximum of 18 errands.

Customer invitations: You have a chance to get a customer invitation from an errand. The probability depends on the errand level.

Castle - Prison

There are two types of crimes: game crimes and those related to the infringement of Rules of Conduct.

Game crimes: When you get caught making a game crime (such as theft) you will be sentenced to serve some time in prison; the prison consists in a temporary ban. The greater the difference between mandator and victim, the greater the penalty, which may vary from 10 minutes to 2 hours of suspension. You can avoid to serve the time in prison by paying the fine or by using a common lockpick to escape.

Infringement of the rules of conduct: When an alchemist breaks the rules of behavior, before to be exiled from the kingdom (deletion of personal account), it will be locked up in the prison of his city. Each prisoner will remain so for an indefinite period, until the judgment is issued (during this time will not be able to access the game). At that point, if the prisoner will be considered detrimental to the community he/she shall be exiled, otherwise he/she will be freed.

Lockpick: With a lockpick you can try to escape from prison. If you escape successfully, the case will be closed.

Castle

The castle represents and governs any cities. Here you can see and possibly satisfy the errands of the nobles or simply pay a visit, maybe to the convicts languishing in the city prison.

Nobility title: The nobility title can be bought staring from the 10th title (specialist) for 600 Alquigems, or can be obtained for game merits. In this last case you must fullfil the nobles decalogue rules and pay a fee equal to 100000 trilob. A noble obtain permanently the following benefits:

Ability to tranfer you office or to open a filial in Grand Castle
Ability to trade with Supplier of Grand Castle (even if not resident)
Ability to search for Alquigems

Alchemical dump: Every time you throw away an ingredient or object, it will go to the dump. Every citizen can take items from the dump, but beware: there is a chance to be seen by someone that could report you to the newspaper.
If you want to get rid of some ingredients without having to throw them into the dump, you can delete them in your laboratory; that way the ingredient will be destroyed.

Character creation - Race choice

The choice of race, as well as by an instinctive affinity, must be determined by the type of game you want to lead. Each race has different growing rates on the 3 characteristics: ability, knowledge and commerce. Onlyelves are an exception to this paradigm, being them equally proficient in every characteristics, while not excelling in any.

Path of Ability: The alchemist who follows the path of the ability loves to experiment until getting superfine potions. It never stops outward appearance of things and tries to extract the essence. A master of inventive and ingenious in logical deductions, but often lacking in tact and social relations.
Suggested race: Dwelf or Zeld

Path of Knowledge: The alchemist who follows the path of knowledge is a contemplator of creation. Getting pleasure in discovering the secrets of cosmos, he/she believes that true wealth is obtained from knowledge. He/she focus on exploring the world and discovering alchemical recipes.
Suggested race: Igneas or Mordok

Path of Commerce: The alchemist who follows the path of commerce is a pragmatic businessman. His/her ethic (or greed) prevents him from being unjust to customers and drives him to continually improve the service. Is good at understanding peoples desires, a gift used almost exclusively to get an economic benefit.
Suggested race: Faun or Gulimimm

Try to invent a name that does not deviate excessively from the examples given and remember that the choice of names offensive or inappropriate will be punished with a suspension and or cancellation of the personal account (please refer to the rules of Conduct of PotionEmpire for more details).

Character creation - Residence

Now is time to choose a city where to install your office. Despite not having a significant impact on the game, it is advisable to choose the residence in accordance with its race.

Try to invent an original name, that captures the imagination of your customers and remember that the choice of offensive or inappropriate names will be punished with suspension and/or cancellation of the personal account (please refer to rules of conduct of the game for more details).

Character creation

Welcome to PotionEmpire. Before entering the game you will need to decide your residence and the features of your character. Choose calmly as you can never change your entries now, except your residence. At each stage, if you want to change the data previously entered, simply click on the back button of your browser.

City

Almost every city in the Empire includes: market, castle, bank, employment office, supplier, courier and the tavern. By stayng in the city page at your residence, it will update automatically when a customer will come in or when a helper returns from an exploration; this makes thecity page the perfect place to go AFK.

Courier

Thanks to the courier you can communicate with other alchemists. Here is also where you receive official communications. Sending messages and pacels has a cost in trilob depending on the distance between you and the recipient.

Sending parcels: Starting from level 3 of Storage you can send parcels with recipes, potions, ingredients and objects (such as vials and solvents). To send a parcel you must first prepare a box or a book, then send that box/book using the courier. The content of the received parcels can be found in mail box.

Customers - Alchemists satisfaction

Similarly to the customers, the alchimists who will use your shop will leave suggestion and votes. Starting from level 15 of Shop, alchemists will have the possibility to buy anonymously. The suggestions of anonymous alchemists will be joined together and shown as comming from the same person.

Customers - Approval

When a customer gives you 4 or 5 stars, you will become his respected alchemist. When he/she gives you 1 or 2 stars, you will become his/her despised alchemist. The customers approval affects their willingness to return to your shop; obviously, those who respect you will have a higher probability to come back, and viceversa. The customers approval also influences the rate at which customers enter your shop.

Suggestion:

You can use the customers approval to get more stars from customers. Just check the last desired effect of the customers that respects you and sell potions that includes that effect.

Customer invitations: You can use a customer invitation to call a certain customer to your shop. The invited customer will surely come next time a customer enters your shop. The invites are objects and are stored in your storage.

Customers - Average Satisfaction

When a customer evaluates a stock of potions, he/she will always leave a suggestion and an amount of stars that goes from 0 to 5. Here are the parameters used by customers to assign stars:

Effect: If a customer finds his/her desired effect he/she will give you this star. The desired effect is influenced by the job; for further information check the help of the Shop page.

Price: The chance to get this star is proportional to the discont or increase you apply to potions. If you do not apply any discount or increase, customers still have a chance of 10% to be disappointed anyway. The only way to be sure to get this star, is to apply the maximum discount (50%). The selling price influences the rate at which customers enter your shop.

Vials: Customers will prefer a certain vials type, depending on their class:
Low class customers will ask for glass vials
Middle class customers will ask for crystal vials
High class customers will ask for diamond vials
If the vial type corresponds to the class of the customer you will surely get this star, otherwise you will still have 25% of chance to get the star anyway.

Taste: The worst the taste, the less the possibility to get this star. Even potions with good or neutral taste will have respectively a 10% and a 40% of probability to not satisfy the customer. The only way to surely get this star, is to sell potions with delicious taste.

Quality: Customers will deny this star only to rotten potions. However, there is a 5% for a rotten potion to pass unnoticed.

Customers

The Customers page shows all the data related to the last 20 purchases that customers (non-playing characters) and alchemists (playing characters) have done at your shop. Each customer can evaluate and buy a maximum of 6 stocks of potions.

Checking the data:

Click on a name to expand the tab and check more details. Sometimes a customer leaves more than 1 suggestion: in that case just click on the suggestion to see more information.

Daily reward

The daily reward will be deposited into your mail box.

Consecutive claims reset: If you allow 48 hours or more to pass since the last claim, the consecutive claims counter will be reset.

Employment office

At the employment office you can hire an helper. Initially you can just pick an inesperienced one, but starting from level 3 of Shop you will be able to hire unemployed helpers, that is, those who once worked for another alchemist. While your Encyclopedia grows, you will be able to hire a growing number of helpers.

Advantages and disadvantages of the races: The races work differently depending on the ecosystems:

Race	Efficient in	Inefficient in
Igneas	Coast	Forest
Gulimimm	Desert	Plain
Mordok	Forest	Coast
Dwelf	Mountain	Swamp
Faun	Plain	Desert
Zeld	Swamp	Mountain
Elf	None	None

Encyclopedia

The encyclopedia offers an increasingly high amount of information about ingredients you know. An ingredient will be added to your encyclopedia when it will be found, either by your helpers or by you, during a personal exploration.

Information	Encyclopedia level
View minimal flavor ingredients. View needed tool to collect ingredients	3
View needed equipment.	9
Show needed solvent.	15
Show all possible combinations with the ingredients you know.	21

Effects: The effects are divided into 5 categories: buffers, poison, counterpoisons, elixir and a last special category of effects, which includes the effects Aromatic, Enhance Fighting, Alchemical Pipe and Refreshing.

Base recipes: When you save a recipe of a non-rotten potion with 100% of precision, the base recipe of the used ingredients will be written down into your encyclopedia. The base recipe will be saved only if the ingredient was already annotated in your encyclopedia. When you have the base recipe of an ingredient, the right solvent, equipments and extraction times will automatically be drawn from your enciclopedia when you use that ingredient in laboratory.

Helpers management

Helpers are very important for an alchemist since they can perform automated tasks, depending on the role you assign to them.

Visuale: You can choose between expanded list and compact list to visualize the list of your helpers. Warning! when you have 10 helpers or more, the expanded list may overload the system and you could be kicked from the game.

Parameters

Levels: Helpers can gain experience and levels in 8 different skills: Forest, Plain, Swamp, Coast, Desert, Mountain, Mixing and Fighting. The maximum level for each skill is 100.

Disposition: The disposition of an helper represents his mood and is represented in game as a colored bar. When the disposition of an helper reachs 0, he/she will abandon you withouth refunds. To improve the helpers disposition you can gratify them with trilob from time to time. Also, when an helper has luck while exploring or when you buy him/her a mount, the disposition will increase.

Buffers: Starting from level 3 of Laboratory you can give buffers to your helpers. Helpers have 3 slots to hold buffers, counterpoisons or war potions.
Helpers will drink antidotes to avoid negative events while exploring, will use counterpoisons to neutralize poisons and war potions to enhance their fighting skills.
You can free a slot by double-clicking on it; the potion will be lost.

Antidotes:
Antidotes are used to avoid negative events while exploring. Only 6 effects can be used this way: Agility, Regeneration, Invisibility, Levitation, Magic Shield, Telekinesis.

Counterpoisons:
Counterpoisons are used to neutralize poisons. Only 6 effects are useful as counterpoison:
Enhance Memory: counters Amnesy
Courage: counters Dread
Tranquilizer: counters Fury
Lucidity: counters Hallucinogen
Mental Shield: counters Obedience
Speed: counters Slow

Favourite ingredients: Helpers have 6 slots for favourite ingredients. If an helper still have free slots, every time he/she will find an ingredient, it will be added to his/her favourite ingredients. Helpers will have an higher probability to find a favourite ingredient while exploring. For each 20 skill levels of the helper, you will be able to deactivate (click) or delete (double-click) 1 ingredient from the list. Helpers will try to avoid collecting deactivated ingredients.
By paying with alquigems you can set the favourite ingredients using the

icon; you can choose any ingredient, provided they are all different from each other.

Suggestion:

When the favourite ingredients list get full, it'a advisable to delete at least one of them, unless it's already the wanted set of ingrediens (for example, only very rare or rare ingredients).

Favourite tool: Although an helper always bring with them all the tools, you can assign a favourite tool to him/her. When collecting an ingredient, if the needed tool matchs helper's favourite tool, he/she will extract 20% more units of that ingredient. The favourite tool will never change until you assign it again. Assigning tool will consume it.

Suggestion:

If you want to surely take advantage of the favourite tool, you should set the exploring time of your helper to a minimum of 5 days.

Roles

Helpers as explorers: Helpers can be sent to find ingredients and this is undoubtedly their most essential function. For more information, check the help in the set helpers destination page.

Helpers as alchemists: From level 2 of Laboratory, helpers can make potions. Assign a recipe to an helper and he/she will start producing it, as long as the following requirements are fulfilled:

The recipe must be created by you
You must have free space in your storage
The recipe must have 100% of precision
The necessary items (ingredients, vials, solvent) must be in the main box.

When producing, the helper will always choose the ingredients with lesser quality and higher amount. The created potions will be placed in a box called helper box. Initially a laboratory helper will deliver a stock of potions every 2 minutes, but this time will get shorter while he/she gets skill levels in Mixing. At every delivery the helper can lose a small amount of disposition.

Helpers as office guards: From level 4 of Shop you can assign your helpers to guard the office. Guards provide protection against thieves, gaininig Fighting experience every time they fight (whether they win or not). A guard loses or gains disposition depending on the result of the fight.

Helpers as city guards: From level 7 of Shop, you can assign 1 helper to defend the city. Every time there will be a theft in town, city guards have a chance to intervene joining the office guards. The city guards do not count in the total of helpers of an alchemist.

Helpers as shopkeepers: From level 21 of Shop, helpers can be assigned to overlook filials. You can only assign 1 helper to each filial.

Ingredient creation

After concluding the quest number 11 (Creating ingredients), You can create ingredients using Zeld Clay, a special clay that is made by joining: Mordok Clay, Chameleonic Clay, Winds Clay, Druidic Clay and Wishworm Drool. The Zeld Clay must be placed into the main box in order to be used.

Laboratory - Extraction times

Equipment: There are 3 equipments: mortar, alembic e cauldron. They represent various stages of processing of the substances, condensing and simplifying a wide range of processes.
mortar is used to pulverize or triturate
alembic is used to filter and separate
cauldron is used to condense, mix, dissolve and soak.
An ingredient can be processed using 1, 2 o 3 equipments.

Extraction times: Alchemy is a magical science and consequently every alchemist must approach it in his own way; for this reason, the extraction times of the ingredients are often different for each alchemist. If you use inadequate equipment, if you are lacking needed equipment or if you use wrong extraction times, you will produce a rotten potion.
Currently, in your case, the errors on the extraction time less than or equal to 40% will not produce rotten potions, however it could worsen the taste of the potion if higher then 13%.

Laboratory - Ingredients choice

The laboratory level determines the amount of slots available for combining ingredients, which can vary from 1 to 6. When choosing ingredients to make a potion, is necessary to take account of six parameters:

Properties: There are 3 properties: neutral, beneficial, venomous. When making a potion, ingredients with beneficial or venomous properties can be combined only when they share the same property, otherwise it will produce a rotten potion. The neutral property can be combined with both beneficial or venomous properties.

Taste: There are 5 possible tastes: disgusting, bad, neutral, good, delicious. When you combine up ingredients with different tastes, the potion will have a taste that is equal to the average of tastes among the used ingredients. The taste directly affects the final price of the potions.

Example:

By combining an good ingredient with a neutral one, you will get a potion with good taste.

Effects: The potions possess all the effects of the used ingredients.

Cost/Value: If you want to make a profitable potion, you must keep an eye on the relation between the cost and the value of the used ingredients. The greater the difference between the two values, the more profit you can get from selling the potion.

Amount: By regulationg the amount of used ingredients and vials, you can decide if your potion will be concentrated or diluted. You may want to create diluted potions to give to your helpers, as you should use concentrated potions to sell. The maximum units of ingredient for each slot depends on your laboratory level. Currently, you can use 1 units of ingredient in each slot.

Refinations: The Refinations parameter indicates how many times the ingredient has been refined. At each refination the price of the ingredient raises by 100 times.

Laboratory - Name choice

When making up a name, always remember to avoid offensive contents.
A potion that shares vials, effects and flavors with a stock that's already in storage, will be added to the old stock, replacing the old name with the new one. If you want to avoid the name replacement, you need to check the «Do not replace the name» box.
When you save a recipe, it will inherit the name from the related potion.

Laboratory - Potion summary

This is the summary page of the potion you just created, where you can review all the data related to it, inclusive the mistakes. You can also save the recipe, along with a personal note.

Laboratory - Solvent choice

Ingredients can be combined only if they share the same solvent. Unsing the wrong solvent will result in a rotten potion. Regardless the amount of used vials, each time you create a potion you will use 1 unit of solvent.

Laboratory - Vials choice

Choosing the right vial is not just a matter of personal preference. In fact, the vial type (glass, crystal or diamond) can influence the customers approval and the average customers satisfaction. Also, you should use cheap vials when making buffers for your helpers, while you should use expensive vials when you create potions to sell in your shop. The maximum amount of vials you can use each time you make a potion, is determined by your laboratory level. The amount of vials used will influence the final price of the potion.

Elixirs:: The maximum amount of usable vials when making elixirs is equal to 10.

Laboratory

Ingredients must be transfered from storage to laboratory in order to enable the potions creation or ingredients refining.

Refining: When you have 100 or more ingredients in the same stock and you reached level 10 of Laboratory, you can create a refined ingredient. You will need 100 units to create 1 refined ingredient; each time you refine an ingredient, its refinations parameter will increase. Refined ingredients can also be refined. Some ingredients will change after the refining process, normally this happens for elixir ingredients.

Warning:

When you refine a stock of ingredients, be sure the amount is multiple to 100; all the excess will be thrown away during the refining process.

Elixir: Starting from level 11 of Laboratory you will be able to create elixirs. These potions, which are created from some refined ingredients, can be drunk in order to get many benefits in game. An elixir has a minimum duration which changes based on your laboratory level (currently 0 minutes). By adding more ingredients you can extend the duration (currently 0 minutes). Additionally the duration can be affected by the quality of the ingredient: each quality point will increase the duration by 100 times. You can drink only 1 elixir at a time.

Destroying ingredients: Ingredients that are deleted from the laboratory get destroyed and not end up into the city dump.

Market - Shops

With each purchase, you can leave a comment and a vote. it is important not to abuse this right to cause harm to other players intentionally lowering their average satisfaction, or troubling their peace with threatening messages, and instead of using it to highlight any strengths and weaknesses of the owner of shop.

Market

The market of a city shows the shops of the resident alchemists, as well as the open filials.

Cavalcature: Alchemists can purchase a mount, to be used during personal exploration. The mounts of the alchemistsincrease the speed of movement, although to a different extent than the mounts of the helpers, and have a cost inalquigems instead of trilob. Owning a flying mount will allow you to overcome obstacles such as streams or mountainous clusters.

Medals: Almost every achievement in game is celebrated by a medal. Medals are very important to better define successes and failures and to exemplify the style of play.

Personal trip

Starting from level 2 of Encyclopedia you will be able to travel outside your residence city. To teleport to another city click on it in the map or minimap, but before, just make sure you have enough trilobs to back home!

Suggestion:

If you are stuck far from your residence and you don't have trilob to come back, you can always ask for a loan or simply go outside the town by clicking the Leave the city button and walk back home.

Quests

Here you can check the available quests, and the data about your ongoing quests. To start or to complete a quest you must go to the tavern.

Recipes

The recipary is where you manage and put on sale your recipes. It is advantageous to sell recipes because at every sale a copy will be created, leaving the matrix to its rightful owner. You can only sell the recipes you made. The recipes must be non-rotten and with 100% of precision.

Remember:

You can edit the notes on a saved recipe.

Using the recipary: You can select one or more elements and apply an action to them using the action buttons. The buttons also have a related shortcut, as follows:

Remove from sale (R)
Put on sale (S)
Delete (Ctrl+DEL)

You can also use Ctrl+A to select/deselect all the elements in a book.

Suggestion:

You can use the assign recipe button on the recipe detail to automatically move to main box all the needed materials.

Recipe books: Initially recipes will be saved in the main book, but starting from level 4 of Encyclopedia you will have the ability to create books to organize the recipes. You can create a maximum of 18 books.

Suggestion:

You don't need to keep all the recipes you save; that's because in most cases the data you need to process an ingredient are drawn from the base recipes that are annotated in your enciclopedia. So, when do you need to keep a recipe? Well... first of all you need to keep thoserecipes that use ingredients that are non annotated into your encyclopedia: that includes, for example, the elixir ingredients. You alsoto keep the recipes you use to create buffers for you helpers, aswell as the recipes you create for you laboratory helpers, those you sell and those of the ingredients whose extraction times have not yet been 100% discovered.

Set helpers destination

Click a city on the map to send an helper to explore a region. Keep in mind that every day for helpers corresponds to 60 seconds for you.

Ecosystems: The world is divided in 6 ecosystems: Forest, Plain, Swamp, Coast, Desert and Mountain. Each ecosystem has a different set of ingredients.

Searching for ingredients: Since the beginning you can send your helpers to search for ingredients. While gaining levels in a given ecosystem, a helper will find more ingredients and lose less disposition while exploring that territory. Initially you will only be able to send your helpers around your residence city, but from level 8 of Encyclopedia you can start sending them outside.

Searching for cities: From level 8 of Encyclopedia you will be able to send an helper to find cities outside the Kingdom. Found cities will be added to your map and you will be able to select them as residence (when possible) or as destination for you helpers to find ingredients.

Searching for Alquigems: Those who have a nobility title can send their hepers to search for Alquigems. The destination is an ancient mine in the underground of Grand Castle, where the helper could find, beyond Alquigems, precious items and chests with trilob inside. When an helper search for Alquigems he/she does not lose disposition after negative events and gains level points in the ecosystem in which he/she has more level points. The minimum exploration time when searching for Alquigems is 3 days.

Negative events: While exploring an helper can come across negative events, that can be avoided only by giving them buffers. A helper will lose time and disposition because of negative events.

Type of search: Using the option safe search you will always get a minimum amount of ingredients equal to the number of days of exploration; you will also have a chance of 8% to stumble on positive or negative events. The option risky search introduces the role of luck, allowing to find a greater number of ingredients when lucky but also a single unit of ingredient in case of bad luck; you will have a chance 16% to run into positive or negative events.

Mounts: Starting from level 7 of Shop, you will be able to buy mounts your helpers to save exploring time when searching for ingredients. Mounts will let them go more far when searching for cities, and will let the go faster when searching for ingredients or alquigems.Mounts save travel time but not exploration time, which means they bring no benefit when assigned to helpers exploring the area aroundto your city of residence.

Shop

The shop is where you place you potions, ingredients and recipse waiting for a buyer. While in your shop, items will no longer occupy place in your storage. By stayng in the shop, the page will update automatically when a customer will come in.

Suggestion:

Is a good idea to update the description of your shop, to keep people informed or simply to distiguish yourself.

Taxes: The price you sell your items does not correspond to the trilob you will get... that's because you need to pay taxes. To find out how much you will gain you must check the net price. If you want to know the taxes rate of your city, just go to the castle.

Ensign: You can customize the ensign of your shop to attract a certain type of customers. The ensign has a probability of 90% of attracting the wished customer type. The parameters you can modify are:

Enpoison: The spies can also be used to enpoison your opponent's helpers. To enpoison and helper you need to have at least 1 poison in your storage and you need to use an invitation at each attempt. The spy will use the poison and the invitation to send a false gift to the target. The gift has a probability to be refused, and in the worst of cases you can even be persecuted by law because of the attempted crime.
The difference of title number between you and the victim must not be more than 10.Here are the available effects:

Thieves: Starting from level 4 of Shop you can hire thieves to rob other alchemists.

Storage

The storage is where you keep your potion, ingredients and object. Always make sure you have enough capacity in storage; if an helper finds it full while returning from an exploration, he/she will be forced to get rid of the ingredients and/or objects in excess. When the storage is full you will not be allowed to perform certain operations, such creating potions or buying items.

Stocks: Each item will be stored in stocks; this way the same or similar objects will occupy a single space. Any stock has a capacity limit equal to 10000 unit.

Using the storage: You can select one or more elements and apply an action to them using the action buttons. The buttons also have a related shortcut, as follows:

Transfer to laboratory (L)
Join (J)
Remove from sale (R)
Put on sale (S)
Empty potion/Throw into the dump (Ctrl+DEL)

Boxes: You can also create boxes where to organize ingredients. The amount of creatable boxes id determined by your Storage level. To create a box just click on the

icon associated to the item you want to move, and specify a box name in the empty field.

Joining elements: When you join one or more stocks, it will be made an average of certain numeric values, such as cost. When joining ingredients or potions, the resulting taste will be rounded down.

Drinks: From your storage you can drink elixirs and refreshing cocktails. When you drink an elixir it will have a probability to work equal to it's precision; if an elixir fails it will delete all the active effects you have on you. The effects of the last elixir you drunk will be added to your active effects if the total effects sum 6 or less, otherwise they will replace the oldest active effects.

Strongbox: You can use Alquigems to buy strongbox slots from the premium shop. The strongbox can hold: ingredients, potions, objects, recipes and trilobs. Items locked in the strongbox cannot be stolen. For each slot in the objects strongbox you will be able to lock 1 item. The tribobs strongbox will automaticallyprotect an amount of trilob equal to (slots^2 * 500.000).
