I will make you potions. For free!*

Long have I dwelled in my bog house/hooch distillery/drug manufactory, and due to the unreasoning terror I suffer that the fireflies will lock me out if I leave, find myself brewing more than I can drink. As such, I shall make you potions/hooch/tinctures. For free!* I can even provide prescriptions** from my in-house*** medical adviser, Dr. B. Fly. Just send a frog to get past the Grade AAA Block Barrier, and I'll set to work!

Now, for some pesky limitations...

First, my offer extends to players who cannot make their own pharmaceuticals, but crave Le Purple Voyage (or other experiences). Although I know it is cruel to those elders among us, my primary aim is to let players without resources/skills give these potions a try.

Second, I'm not in the business of farming guano. If your desires involve batterfly droppings, go take a bath. Once clean, please supply the guano.

On that note, if you /do/ supply excess guano, you can skip this 'First come first served' limitation. Sans guano, potions will be supplied as fast as I can keep growing them.

So act now, while I'm still able to keep altering the chemical makeup of my bathtub Door Drink to keep me one step ahead of the Bureaucrocs, and you one step ahead of the next leap home.

*Not entirely free. You will need to pay postage to the frogs. My in-game mailbox is how I'll organize delivery.

**The prescription is to massage butterflies. It's all he'll tell people to do.

***If someone knows how to get a butterfly out of my house, I'd appreciate it.

  • I would love to try all the different potions! I am learning potionmaking as we speak, but I have neither herb garden nor currants to buy herbs with at the moment, so it's going to be a good long while before I can make them myself. 

    I'll send you some guano & hooch!

  • Can you make the one that attracts the Rube?

  • Can I? Probably! Potion Making 2, access to all the herbs, and a little creative alchemical mixology will get you any potion that can be made. That I'm aware of. And if I'm not aware of it, I'll throw things into a blender until we find it!

  • You can get the butterfly out of your house by making the Animal youth potion.

  • Alas, the fireflies have granted the butterfly asylum. They say that while I may control the ground, they rule the skies. So until I build my pile of blocks up high enough, I guess the sneaky fellow stays.

    In other news, my newbie self learned an important lesson: Can't send mail to non-friends. Oh noes! I guess my desire to brew potions has also become a not-so-subtle way to make friends.

    Secondly, ingredients. I'm growing herbs as fast as the Giants can imagine them, but there are some non-herb requirements. I know chefs willing to help me with the food parts, but for those wondering what potions take guano and whatnot, the Strategy page has a list of require ingredients:

    I am currently learning Botany, so Tree Poison will shortly be on the table. Numismatizer, Leprechaun Class? I've... got some work ahead of me before I can make the Avarice potion as well. Otherwise, it's all on the table.

  • I'd love a rainbow juice or two, thank you! They sound like they'd be a fun addition to a double rainbow party. :3 How much is postage?

  • Your butterfly is trapped by the fireflys? I'd like to see a picture of that! And then figure out how to do that myself:)

  • Zosimos, you are awesome!

  • Zos if you milk your butterfly vigorously, no being nice to it, it will die of exhaustion pretty quickly....

  • Shiromisa, I think postage is pretty cheap. Like 2c to send me a letter. I'll cover shipping costs for the potions themselves, or stalk you with my fancy fancy teleport skill and throw them at you before promptly running away.

    And the butterfly is less trapped than being protected by. While I slept the fireflies held a democratic revolution, and now I find myself voted down for most of my non-winged-friendly schemes.

  • Zosimos! So generous of you! I have the potion making skill but it takes forever to grow flowers while trying to leave behind 1 flower so I have enough seed left over so that I can grow more without having to buy more seeds! Maybe I should have done it one potion at a time! (rambling, I know) Anyway! I don't really need any! LOL

  • Give us a list of what you need that is difficult for you to get and we can see about sending what we have to help you...

  • My primary limiters are 1) Time and 2) Guano. My other half enjoys the chefflary arts, and so she tends to keep me rolling in green eggs, orange juice, bubbles, and the like. Not that I'll say no to Spinach or Tangy Sauces mind!

    Xyrem recently de-newbied me a little by pointing out Batterflies apparently will produce guano when fed. Madness! So when everyone is asleep, I'll dive into a cave somewhere and see if I can make one explode by cramming two hundred eggs into it.

    I'm keeping my twelve plots cycling, but herbs take time. Purples are only an hour, but Yellow Crumb is nine, with the rest falling in the middle.

  • Meat is cheaper (easier to get) than Eggs, It think.  According to the page below, it's probably better to feed a batterfly 2 meat at a time.

  • Will send a few currants for supplies - this is a great thread :)

  • If feeding eggs, 10 eggs per feed is optimal for maximum output; 20 eggs per feed for minimum time but less output.  (2 per vs 3 per feed)

  • I don't know how to say this. I figure I best square my shoulders, cringe about how this sounds, and get it over with...

    Thank you everyone who showered me in guano. It was just like Senior Prom all over again.

    However, there is a dark side effect of this operation. While I'm out getting my coins so I can make Avarice potions, I keep slipping Essence of Purple to low level players. Hopefully I'm not helping making a generation of junkies.

  • I would love to try essence of purple (don't have herbalism or potion-making yet). Will shower you in awesome stews in return (I'm an animal nibbler and a chef by trade).
