Goods Stores

The important thing about running the goods store is to keep the shelves stocked. As people buy items, stock will be depleted and its your job to replace it with items you've harvested or crafted.

Secondary to that you must price up each item you sell. Too low and you'll find it hard to turn a profit but you'll get a great reputation with the locals. Too high and the locals will will be slow to boost your reputation but you'll earn a profit significantly faster.

The ledger on your counter has tabs with various helpful pages for running your business

Staff

You can hire workers from here. You can change their pay and see their stamina.

To regain stamina, give them breaks or gift them food. A tired worker has their stats affected.

You can also see a worker's happiness level. Pay and stamina can affect this, as well as friendship level.

An unhappy worker is amore discourteous to customers, affecting service reputation and will not gain exp.

This page also allows you to fire an employee.

Rota

The employees' hours may be set here, and who works on which day

Reputation

You will gain reputation when a customer is pleased with service and price.

This fills in for the current region you are in and will give you a perk point when full.

Any further reputation will keep adding up and will spill into the next region. This means that customers will start to appear from that region as they have heard about your shop.

Once that region's Rep has been filled, you again get a perk point, and the Rep spills into the next region.

Any perk points gained can be spent on perks within the ledger. Every perk comes with a small description and many have multiple stages to upgrade.

Your earned shop Rep adds onto your Grandmaster total, building up your Renown levels.

Specialisations

Once you have unlocked them with the Tinker in Tir Na Nog, you can specialise your shop which brings new perks. This page lets you view and unlock those perks.

• Charm: Offsets and negative Rep from slow service or overpricing
• Speed: Affects the speed of service. Customer's have a limited patience so the quicker you serve, the better
• Stamina: How long they can work before tiredness affects their other stats.

The worker stats are affected by age but additionally gain experience to level up the stats used in their current job.

Certain recipes and items may also increase (or decrease) the worker's stats.
