Potion Craft Ingredient Prices

[@dawiddulian2403]

Alright, I got a full ingredient cost list from selling to the Alchemist, it seems like the prices you have on discount are x2 so that's an easy calculation. Here's my list, I hope it can save you discount hunting lol: Lifeleaf - 3.0 Terraria - 3.35 Stink Mushroom - 3.75 Firebell & Waterbloom - 4.1 Dryad's Saddle - 4.2 Poopshroom & Goodberry - 4.5 Mad Mushroom - 4.55 Windbloom - 4.85 Goblin Shroom - 5.25 Witch Mushroom - 5.3 Weirdshroom - 5.75 Sulphur Shelf & Icefruit - 5.85 Druid's Rosemary - 6.3 Tangleweed - 6.45 Marshroom & Moss Shroom - 6.55 Lavaroot - 7.2 Hairy Banana - 7.8 Terror Bud & Blood Thorn - 8.15 Thunder Thistle - 8.75 Flameweed - 8.8 Thornstick - 9.1 Dreaming Beet - 9.2 Grasping Root - 9.45 Goldthorn - 9.6 Healer's Heather - 9.65 Coldleaf - 9.7 Kraken Mushroom - 9.85 Featherbloom & Shadow Chanterelle - 10.4 Mudshroom & Evergreen Fern - 10.8 Foggy Parasol - 11.1 Fluffbloom - 12.45 Whirlweed - 13 Watercap - 13.2 Magma Morel - 13.3 Dragon Pepper - 14.1 Boombloom - 14.15 Lust Mushroom - 15.3 Grave Truffle - 15.75 Spellbloom - 16.5 Phantom Skirt - 18 Mageberry - 19.05 Rainbow Cap - 21.8 Life Crystal - 33.65 Earth Pyrite - 38.4 Plague Stibnite - 42.1 Fire Citrine & Frost Sapphire - 46.9 Blood Ruby - 50.5 Cloud Crystal - 55.4 Arcane Crystal - 58.9 Fable Bismuth - 179.8 Void Salt - 0.025 Sun Salt & Moon Salt - 0.05 Life Salt - 0.5 Philosopher's Salt - 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- Prices are imo exact - for the ingredients I took a stack of 100 and shift-checked them for a price of the whole stack, and it's an easy calculation from there. Took a moment tho xd

I'm impressed that you did all that 🤯 it's good to know how much ingredients sell for. The merchants and the Alchemist are really out there committing highway robbery when they buy stuff from players. From what I understand, discount and normal prices are fixed and only change based on your levels. So sale percentages don't change for every encounter or with different merchants. The Alchemist is technically in a merchant position, but he doesn't sell ingredients, so he's slightly different. I haven't looked into it, but have you noticed a difference between how much he'll pay for ingredients and how much others will pay?

@@Rhapsody116 I think it's the same actually, unless there is a raised or discounted price on it; also I just did some testing and I gathered that the popularity level does not influence the prices at all, only the Trading skill does (I'm not max popularity level yet but prices seem to be following this exact rule when starting the new game - they are just 2x less favourable because of no Trading skill at the beginning). Ex Lifeleaf at no Trading skill does have the exact value of 1.5 if you're selling and 24 if you're buying which is half of 3 and double of 4*3 in comparison to max Trading level. So the base prices are constant, just a question whether to go for no-Trading-skill prices or max-Trading-skill prices, of which I chose the second Wow, kept fiddling around and I found that the actual constant in this case is the product of your price times the merchant's price; ex. for Lifeleaf it's 3*12 = 1.5*24 = 2*18 (at +50% Trading) = 36. Sooooo yeah xd

You lost me on the math, but the rest of it made sense. It's crazy that you were able to figure all this out! I wonder if people in the discord have worked it all out. Apparently, they have a worksheet of the most efficient recipes discovered so far. I feel like looking at it would be disheartening though, bc then there's no challenge

​​@@Rhapsody116 that's what I think this channel is about also, trying stuff out and improving it on the go, it's all part of the fun. That's what makes the game so great for me, really, figuring stuff out on my own, sometimes with very little help and I constantly coming back to my potion shop. For instance I won't forget the reaction when I experimented and found out the goldthorn poison recipe, or while trying stuff out with single ingredient recipes, it's the perfect optimisation and self-imposed challenges game imo 🍶⚗️

100%, that's what I tried to explain to someone on the discord who was claiming it's a terrible game. Also, yesss the goldthorn poison is so cool. I learned about it a week or two ago from the commenter I told you about. It was so cool to see how it was possible
